the sophon Page 3 Keeping Our Brotherhood and Community Strong Brothers Enjoy a Fulfilling Semester M ichigan Alpha Chapter has had a great semester, highlighted by several philanthropic events and lots of fun brotherhood memories. Before we get into the more memorable events, we'd like to note that we currently have 97 active members, and our chapter is thriving academically with a 3.67 GPA. Over the past few months, our chapter participated in three main philanthropy events. • First, we raised approximately $3,600 through multiple fundraising events to support MSU in the wake of the horrific events that occurred there earlier this semester. • With the help of Kappa Kappa Gamma, we organized a gift drive for local elementary schools. We bought clothes, toys, and books to give underprivileged kids a meaningful Christmas. • Finally, we raised enough money to compete in the Winterfest Broomball tournament for the first time in seven years. The proceeds were donated to the Autism Alliance of Michigan, The Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan, and Fisher House Michigan. Although we always put an emphasis on academics and community philanthropy, we strive to create ways to spend time together and keep our brotherhood strong. This semester, we once again competed in a soccer and flag football league against the other fraternities on campus. We came up just short of a championship in both, finishing as runner-up in soccer and losing in the semifinals in flag football. Our sophomore and senior PCs also vacationed together in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, for spring break. We hope everyone is doing well. Go Blue!
