\\\\\\\\\\\\ Gamma Gamma Activities \\\\\\\\\\\\ 2024 Greek Games Last Spring, ATO participated in the first Greek Games since 2011. While wrangling a few brothers for the 11 scheduled events, one event developed by each fraternity and sorority, we managed to win effortlessly in Spring of 2023. Thanks to the creativity and planning from brother Zach Koehler '24, the chapter put together a relay race as ATO's signa- ture event for the competition. The relay included a 100-meter three- legged backwards race, a mini tricycle race, a dizzy bat sprint, and a "new wardrobe" sprint. After holding the coveted Greek Games trophy for a year, we chased after back-to-back titles once again this spring. Displaying incredible stamina and athleticism in team tug-of-war and our cunning ability to eat watermelon halves without our hands, we can now say that the Gamma Gamma Chapter is the back-to-back champion of the Rose-Hulman Greek Games. The etching for the 2023 and now 2024 Champions will forever be on the Greek Games trophy. All we have to do next spring is bring home the hardware once again. Let the training begin! - Ryan "Nellie" Nelson '26 Alumni Relations Eleven of our brothers have been actively engaged in the Battery Workforce Challenge, a three year advanced vehi- cle technology competition centered around undergraduate designing, fabricating, and integrating a high voltage bat- tery pack system into a production electric vehicle. Along with 11 other teams around the United States, the Rose- Hulman and Ivy Tech Community College joint team is sponsored by Stellantis, Department of Energy, and Ar- gonne National Laboratory as headliners that will provide and undergo the entire vehicle development cycle. ΑΤΩ brothers hold various leadership positions as per: Jack Martin - Project Manager, Henry Krzyzewski - Software Team Lead, and Zach Ebert - Mechanical Hardware Bat- tery Scholar. Overall, the team received top recognitions by winning the Best Project Initiation Plan Award and the Best Mid-Year Technical Design Review Presentation par- ticularly for our efforts with integrating the Ivy Tech stu- dents in the plan and a unique, but effective battery mod- ule configuration. Five upcoming senior brothers look for- ward to doing the Battery Workforce Challenge as a senior capstone design project team this coming Fall. - Jack Martin '25 Vice-President Brothers hoisting the Greek Games Trophy Right to Left: (Professor) Dr. Marc Herniter, Jack Martin '25 Far Left: Henry Krzyzewski '25 Battery Workforce Challenge - Rose-Hulman / Ivy Tech Community College
