6 Gamma Crescent ΑΓΡ Builds Strong Competitors G amma has been highly successful in our recent athletic endeavors. Our softball team made it into the fraternity league finals this year. We won six games straight, but lost the championship game. Despite disappointment, we are proud to earn second out of 40 teams. While we were not as successful in basketball, we won our final three games, which included a 12-point victory over our rival team, preventing them from making the playoffs. We have had two successful philanthropy teams as well. Six brothers won a philanthropy dodgeball tournament in the fall. Three brothers won a three-on-three basketball tournament, which benefitted Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. We look forward to more healthy competition as we begin our soccer season. Fraternally, Mike Scattergood '13 (Γ1648) Intramural Chairman mookscat@yahoo.com T hree active Gammas brought six members of the fall 2014 new member class on a trip to the University of Michigan. They packed up into cars on October 10 and headed northwest. After hitting traffic in Pittsburgh, picking up the RV, and hitting traffic again in Ohio, they finally made it to Ann Arbor after 1 a.m. Wasting no time, they started tailgating with other Penn State fans. The group stayed for an upsetting loss but had a great time. They tailgated with students, alumni, and fans from both schools. They also attended a daytime party at Theta Chi. The trip stayed within $100 of their budget and they made it home by dinnertime on Sunday. The whole group would like to thank the alumni who generously donated to fund the trip. It is greatly appreciated and the trip will not be forgotten! We plan to continue this tradition in coming semesters. Fraternally, Greg Surine '12 (Γ1603) VNR Membership Development gsurine@gmail.com Greek Week Achievements G amma Chapter participated in Greek Week with Delta Zeta and Theta Delta Chi. The week-long philanthropy is dedicated to showing the positive impact Greek organizations make on the community. We began with the spring carnival on April 12. Each organization set up an event for children to participate in, such as a ring toss, food drives, races, sports tournaments, and pageants. We were then awarded spirit points based on dedication and success in these events. We are proud to be among the many Greek organizations that engage and make a difference within the community during Greek Week. We are already looking forward to next year!
