O
ver the last few months the Alpha Mu Chapter has seen
phenomenal growth in many areas. Our membership has
reached over 50 men and our involvement has steadily grown.
This fall we are holding three philanthropy events.
Chapter Ranked 5th in Grades
In the spring we achieved a chapter G.P.A. of 3.11, ranking
us 5th in the IFC community. This is an improvement from the
previous semester and ranks us above the university men's
average and the IFC active member average. We look to
improve our academics, especially as we welcome many new
men to the fraternity.
Striving to Improve Philanthropy
We hosted a 5k run through central campus on October 18, a
murder mystery dinner at the chapter house on October 23, and
a comedian at the Memorial Union. All three of these events are
brand new and part of our initiative to serve the community at a
higher level. Proceeds from each event go directly to the USO.
Membership Fills Chapter House
Since the spring, we have recruited over 20 men. Through our

for the first time in over 10 years. Our total membership is now over
50 men who we feel live up to the ideals of Theta Chi.
Alumni Weekend Success
On the weekend of September 6 we hosted our annual parents
and alumni weekend. We had over 90 alumni and parents attend
the events on Friday evening and Saturday morning. On Saturday
we held our furniture fund auction and raised over $2,000. We look
forward to welcoming even more alumni and parents next year.
We have built a lot of momentum in the last several months and
we look to continue improving this fall. The undergraduate men
have shown great leadership as we've grown our chapter. We
look forward to bringing you more good news about the successes
this fall.
