SUMMER REFRESHERS As always, the AHC has been hard at work maintaining and enhancing our Gamma Phi Beta home. This summer, we replaced several ma resses, purchased new bunk beds, refurbished the back hallway with branded rugs and fresh paint, reupholstered furniture in our Gamma Phi colors, and provided new dressers for our live-in members. Addi onally, when the kitchen's air condi oning unit failed during recruitment week, it was promptly replaced, though the unexpected expense underscored the importance of sound financial management. We are excited about the future and grateful for the con nued support of our Gamma Phi Beta community! In IIKE, Sigma Affiliated House Corpora on Board MEET OUR NEW HOUSE DIRECTOR
