STRENGTHEN YOUR PIKE BONDS THIS YEAR Fraternal Excellence at OSU T he fall semester has been a momentous one for Gamma Chi Chapter, filled with achievements that reflect the hard work and dedication of both our undergraduate brothers and alumni. At the International Convention in Oklahoma City the past summer, Gamma Chi was honored with the prestigious House of the Year Award, a testament to the chapter's excellence in recruitment, philanthropy, and overall operations. This recognition underscores the strength and vitality of our brotherhood and sets a high standard for the future. A LWAYS M OV I N G FO RWA R D Convention was a remarkable opportunity for alumni to reconnect and engage with current undergraduate brothers. The chapter continues to excel on campus, and recruitment efforts brought in an outstanding new pledge class, ensuring the chapter's continued growth. The chapter also maintains a strong social presence, hosting events that foster brotherhood and collaboration with other campus organizations. These activities strengthen internal bonds while enhancing the chapter's reputation. A great addition was added to the chapter with the new chapter advisor role being filled by Doug Thompson '90.
