These past few years, our relationship with Big Brothers
Big Sisters (BBBS), a nonprofit dedicated to providing
young kids with needed role models, has continued to
grow with every event. The Gamma Gamma Chapter has
taken tremendous pride in providing time and memories to
these young kids in every event the ATO chapter does to-
gether. Once again this year we planned another BBBS
Christmas party for the youngsters and their families, and
another BBBS Neon Bowling Night event this Spring
Quarter.
The BBBS Christmas party was once again a great time.
Nearing the end of the fall quarter, the new 2023 pledges
were able to participate in their first philanthropic event
with the entire chapter. The chapter donated two bikes and
$500 in other presents to these young kids, along with
blankets and memories they'll remember hopefully forev-
er.
Fall Day of Service and Spring Day of Service, through
Rose-Hulman, are two of our favorite philanthropic events
as a chapter. We always pull together at least 20-30 broth-
ers to go out in the community and plant trees, pick trash
up off the streets, or plant the flowers you see scattered
around campus.
This year, we started to incorporate new types of philan-
thropic events for the chapter. We have started reaching
out to the Indiana State University sororities for socials
and philanthropic events. So far this year, we have had
three events with three different ISU sororities. We had
great feedback and, as a chapter, have decided to continue
scheduling events this next year.
It took some time to get moving earlier in the school year,
but we finished out the year with 1,360 service hours split
between the brothers in the chapter. Looking forward to
next Fall, we are making plans to exceed 1,500 service
hours as a chapter next year. More importantly, we get to
experience and see firsthand the impact we are making in
the local community and hope that influences our members
to be positive community role models in the future.
