GAMMA THETA TIMES | 4 G amma Theta is making the most of 2022. This spring has been a philanthropic one, to say the least, after raising more than $74,000 through Dance Marathon and our revamped Derby Days. Men of Gamma Theta have also maintained their leadership roles all over campus, from Florida Blue Key to the new UF Cryptocurrency and Alternative Assets Club. Rest assured, the men of Sigma Chi are continuing to uphold the seven standards of Isaac M. Jordan himself. Sigma Chis continue their stronghold over Dance Marathon, the largest student-run organization at UF, raising over $40,000 and having brothers in many of the high leadership positions. Derby Days this year was also a spectacle. We rebranded the event to increase participation and make it more exciting on campus. Alumni always talk about how exciting the event was, and its revamp was geared toward maximum participation within the chapter and on campus. These efforts were very successful in helping us raise $34,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, securing our spot as one of the top UF Greek philanthropies in the last 10 years. This number will help put us in contention for the most money raised by a fraternity philanthropy in the last 20 years. We also continue to have a strong influence on the UF campus. Former Consul Drew Goodwin '22 was elected vice president of the Interfraternity Council. Sigma Chi had over five brothers in executive positions for Project Makeover. The UF Cryptocurrency and Alternative Assets Club, started by five brothers, is a finalist for New UF Business Club of the Year. We are currently fourth out of 25 fraternities in GPA and second in new member GPA. We also have back-to-back head agents of Nightlife Navigators, four senators in UF Student Government, and three Florida Cicerones. Socially, Gamma Theta is excelling as well. We had a great Bikers Bash in the fall, a wonderful Christmas dinner in December, and took over Flagler Beach with our shipwrecked date function in April. We participated in socials with all the top sororities at UF and have been selected by Delta Gamma for what should be quite the Homecoming this fall. Over 70 brothers and their beautiful dates raided the city of Nashville in a Formal to be remembered, as we listened to music and roamed Broadway Street. All that we've done over this past year, and all that we will continue to do in the coming years as UF's most prestigious organization, wouldn't be possible without the alumni who came before us. As you all know, the Gamma Theta Chapter is a special one. No matter what our brothers do on this campus, in the workforce, or overseas defending our freedom, we all hope to leave Gamma Theta better off than it was before. We thank you for your continued support, and as I join you all as an alumnus this spring, I can't wait to watch with you as Gamma Theta Chapter continues to grow and prosper.
