Icelandelf has agreed to keep us posted on the UT-SA colony this fall. Any Gamma Phis who are going to be working with the TCU colony? I'd love to hear what's happening with them . . .and looking ahead to the spring, any GA G Phi Bs working with KSU?

I'll be working with the TCU colony! We have a "house shower" planned for July 8, where we will be bringing general house supplies and stuff. This will be the first meeting of the advisory board and I am excited about this. I'll keep all informed as we move ahead.

Thanks, tinydancer! Is the TCU colony going to have a house right off the bat??

Tell us more, tell us more - I love hearing about expansions!

TCU is in the process of refurbishing one of the units that was formerly used for general housing. All the sororities and fraternities are in one area, in dorm-type units. It will probably not be completed in time for rush in the fall, but should be done shortly after that. Our rush will be held the week after the other sororities. Evidently, there are lots of out of state girls who come in for the last freshman orientation, so they don't have to go back home. This conflicts with rush week, so many don't go Greek at all. We hope to attract them, as well as others who may be interested in getting a new group started.

That's great! It's so nice to know that we will be on equal footing in the housing department. It's always tough to start up when you are competing against orgs. with big, beautiful houses.
So our recruitment will be in late August or early September? Is the SMU chapter helping out?

I believe you may have been in the picture we saw at LDI of alumnae helping out with TCU. The collegiate extension folks went through the actual presentation with us and I saw your name listed as an alumna volunteer (with the picture).

How is the chapter listed on the registry? My mom (Gamma Phi in Houston) wanted to know how to give a housewarming gift!

and if that link doesn't work, they're registered under Club Wedd, both the bride and groom are listed as "Gamma Phi Beta TCU"

happy shopping!

It worked great! I sent a little something - wish I could get them their television!

I just got back this evening from the Information Session for our new colony at UTSA. There were over 150 wonderful young women who were interested in Gamma Phi Beta and the presentation was awesome! Think good thoughts for them this week as interviews and activities will occur starting tomorrow, with Pref Night this Friday and Bid Day this Saturday!

That's fantastic! I only wish I were there to help!

Cluey · #13 10-09-2007, 07:31 PM
