Novemeber Update

Its been a busy October for Gamma Iota! On October 19th we joined along side the Wells Project (An RIT organization dedicated to raising money to build water wells in areas of need) to host a powder-puff tournament. The results- none of us plan on dropping out of school to become professional football players anytime soon, but we still had a great time! 

Founders day!

On November 16th 2013 we will be hosting an FIPG approved founders day event. The event will take place at McGinnys located at 2246 East River Road Rochester at 6 pm.  For more information and details on the event please contact our banquet chairs Megan Keenan and Danielle Turenne (mlk1645@g.rit.edu and dmt9337@g.rit.edu). 

Camp Good Days Benefit Game

On October 26th Gamma Iota joined forces with the RIT mens soccer team to raise awareness and funds (we raised $347.66) for Camp Good Days which is an organization that provides children who are in hospitals the opportunity to attend a camp under safe conditions. Although the event was hosted in the windy freezing cold of Rochester, it was still really successful.

October 2013

Hello Alum and Parents!!

The monthly newsletter is a new concept for the chapter so I am still trying to find the best way to create it each month. My major is environmental sustainability so I have very little computer skills and the way I was previously making the newsletter was a big pain. As a result I am going to try and create newsletters on this website each month.

FALL CLASS 2013! (NMC 110)

On Tuesday September 24th 10 lovely ladies went through the Phoenix Degree and started their journey to becoming active sisters. From left to right Jennifer Love, Jen Brousseau, Brenna Lewis, Kate Sullivan, Adrienne Michalakis, Lauren Berger, Julia Okvath, Allie Ford, Jessi Ramage, and Allison Friedman. Gamma Iota is super excited to have these 10 new additions!

UP COMING EVENTS

Founders Day! 

This year Gamma Iota is hosting a founders day celebration! It will be November 16th! All alumnae are invited. For more information and details on the event please contact our banquet chairs Megan Keenan and Danielle Turenne (mlk1645@g.rit.edu and dmt9337@g.rit.edu)

50 Year Celebration! 

As you all know the 50 year anniversary of Gamma Iota is coming up in May! The event is planned out, we are just waiting on the invitations to be printed out, envelopes stuffed, and then mailed out! If you have any questions about the event feel free to contact me at asavpofalum@gmail.com. Don't forget to like https://www.facebook.com/asa50year to stay up to date on the event!

Also, I will be setting up a google doc as the event comes closer to determine what local sisters have available housing and how many people they can fit, and what sisters coming into town need housing for the weekend to help alleviate travel costs. It should be noted we will not be booking a block hotel (there was not enough interest in doing this) but with the invitations will come local hotel information. 

Also we have over 700 alumnae and I know I have not be successful in contacting all 700 of them, so please reach out to your pledge class, to your big and your little and make sure they are aware of the event and have my contact information if they aren't getting these updates.
