Greetings Brothers,
We had an awesome semester at Gamma Theta this past fall. This past semester we were busy. We brought across Tom "Bones" Malone from the Tonight Show with David Letterman into our brotherhood. He came down for a gig with the O'Clock. We had an awesome Phi Mu Alpha recital with compositions written by brothers of Gamma Theta. We also participated in the Homecoming activities. Our chapter president, James Mann, at the time represented the fraternity along with Candace Beckstead of Sigma Alpha Iota. We also built a homecoming float. We did a joint project with Sigma Alpha Iota's sisters and put up a living room scene in the back of a trailor hitch. The theme was "There's no place like home". Brother Troy Drayton played the music to "Sweet Home Alabama" on an electric guitar that was getting juice pumped through a converter via the truck. We sang our own lyrics along and created a parody entitled "Sweet Home North Texas".
This semester our social chair, John Kilgore, has organized an intramural basketball team, "The Mystic Cats", that will compete against other fraternities and clubs at UNT. We also have some cool plans for AMR. Some brothers are talking about doing jam session style tunes as well as the classics, jazz, and solos. This semester we will be bringing Dr. Brian Bowman, former USAF Euphonium soloist from the D.C. band, and our Dean Dr. James Scott into the fraternity at our province workshop next weekend. Currently we have about 43 actives and 6 new probes. We love hearing from other chapters and love swapping ideas. Our website is at
