Exciting Spring Semester at Gamma Phi Beta
Sisters Enjoy Fall Recruitment

T
he past few months were exciting! We were lucky enough to
be visited by members of the International Council, and our
whole chapter had a workshop with them. Several weeks later,
we celebrated our 25th anniversary with a wonderful event hosted
by the House Corporation Board, which our chapter members were
thrilled to attend.
Our parent's weekend and our second annual Gamma Phive K took
place on the same weekend, and we were able to raise money for
Girls on the Run and Camp Fire USA. We are looking forward to
an equally exciting fall! Our Gamma Phive K was the chapter's
second annual Crescent Classic under the same name. It was a very
successful event with attendance from parents and other Greeks,
benefitting Camp Fire USA and Girls on the Run with a small portion
being sent to the Foundation.
We are in the process of finalizing plans for a crawfish boil with
two campus fraternities. One-third of the ticket proceeds will go
to support our philanthropies as well. Co-Philanthropy Chairman
Brittney McCormick '11 is inspired with how well things have been
going this semester and is excited to continue working with other
Greek organizations to advance our philanthropic mission.
Fall 2013 recruitment was highly successful; we had the largest
pledge class at Alabama. We are looking into extending the new
member period to account for the fact that we have so many new
members. We can't wait to see our hard work pay off in the fall and
to meet the members of the fall 2014 pledge class.
The 25th anniversary party for the founding of the Epsilon Lambda
Chapter took place during the second weekend of February. The
event, which occurred at The Cypress Inn restaurant, focused largely
on alumnae appreciation and the new chapter house. The chapter members
were very grateful to the alumnae for their support and thankful for the
invitation to the event.
