To our extended Gamma Phi
Beta FamilyHello sisters and parents,
This year has been extremely busy for Theta chapter,especially
this spring! It is so hard to believe the school year isalmost over
and summer is here! As a chapter we have beenable to accomplish
many social events, philanthropies,academic achievements, stay
involved on campus, and havesome fun while staying busy with all of
that. Two successful
non-alcohol socials in the winter, an all-campus speaker
inFebruary, Spagammi, chapter meetings, PACE and CrescentValues
sessions, Crescent Classic, spring retreat, a 90s-themedsocial
exchange with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha are only afew of the
things we have been up to the past two quarters!Each year brings
situations that challenge us or give usopportunities, and the women
have gone above myexpectations in overcoming and taking advantage
of eachsituation.
Our involvement with alumnae has made an incredibleimpact on the
chapter this year! Alumnae have (cont.)

Love. Labor. Learning. Loyalty.
(cont.) been working with Lalu Abebe,Education Vice President,
to plan the Big Ievent when senior women are initiated
intoalumnaehood. Additionally, our ever-dedicatedHouse Corporation
Board has expanded toinclude several new members and improveThetas
living space and environment. Thankyou alums! Executive council and
the chapterare looking forward to including these womenin the
collegiate realm even more next year with
recruitment activities, Founders Day, and otherchapter
events.
My time as president has been anamazing experience! Thank you to
the chapterfor giving me the opportunity to be your leaderthis
year. Two goals executive council and I setwere to be more
transparent to the entirechapter and hold one another and other
chaptermembers accountable. Both of these have beenchallenging at
times, but we are makingprogress in both areas. I like to meet or
at least
touch base with all officers at least once aquarter, and I have
been so impressed with allof the work officers have been doing. All
of thewomen stay busy and are doing great things forthe chapter. We
have also received surveyresults from a member satisfaction survey
thatGamma Phi Beta International sends out to allcollegiate
members. The results were very
helpful in providing feedback and helpingexecutive council and I
to know our chaptersstrengths and areas for improvement. We
willcontinue to look back at these results to be surewe are on
track for maintaining and improvingthe chapter as much as
possible.
As this school year winds down, we arealready beginning to plan
for fall quarter 2009.A tentative calendar will be out soon to help
usplan for all next term will bring! Recruitment
camp and formal recruitment will be here beforewe know it! Fall
is also always full of socialevents, homecoming and parents
weekend,new member education classes, initiation,campus activities
and more. We are lookingforward to coming back from summer to a
busyand fun fall!
Thank for all of your support andencouragement this year! I
would not be able to
be president without everything family, friends,and sisters do
for me. Please let me know if you
have questions, comments, or concerns. I wouldlove to have
feedback to help make Theta assuccessful as possible!
Sincerely,Kristen RousePresident, Theta Chapter

What Gamma Phi has been upto this year
Academic Achievements
Gamma Phi Beta has continued to uphold our high
GPA and has remained at a higher ranking than the
average GPA for the campus as a whole. We are
continuing study hours and mentoring programs in
order to win the Greek Pillar of Scholarship again at
the end of the quarter! Philanthropic Achievements
Our philanthropy events, including Spagammi and the
first annual Capture the Crescent has been successful
in including the entire DU campus in raising funds for
CampFire USA as well as the Make A Wish
Foundation. Thank you for the continued support from
our alumnae!
Sisterhood EventsWhether it was an 80s themed rollerskating
party or
movies at the house, this quarter continued to
demonstrate that GPB members take sisterhood
seriously! These fun events have helped us grow as
women and sisters, and create a open and
understanding house.A Look Ahead at Fall RecruitmentIts hard to
believe that recruitment is already just
around the corner! Recruitment Camp will begin LaborDay,
September 7th (with moving in the new freshmen!)and continue until
Saturday September 12th. This weekwill focus on preparing our house
for formalrecruitment through relationship building,
conversationworkshops, lots of singing, fun, and of course,
funsisterhood activities! The first day of formal recruitmentwill
begin on Thursday September 24th and will endwith Bid Night on
Monday September 28th. If you haveany questions or concerns please
