The Gamma Iota chapter had a busy spring semester with various campus activities and philanthropic events. In January, they practiced for Greek Sing where they placed second among 18 sororities and raised money for Make-A-Wish. They also celebrated their founder's day with an alumni brunch. In February, 30 members participated in DanceBlue, raising over $1.4 million for children's healthcare in 24 hours of dancing. Upcoming events include Stomp-a-Palooza in April and preparing for recruitment workshops and the fall pledge class.

1. Happy Spring Semester from the Gamma Iota chapter! This year has really flown by but
our Theta girls are keeping themselves busy by being involved in multiple campus
activities and philanthropies. Our chapter spent most of January practicing and preparing
for one of the most popular philanthropies on campus, Greek Sing! It took place on
February 8th, and after we dancing our hearts out to “Theta’s Wide World of Sports” we
got second place out of 18 sororities. All of the proceeds that were raised went to Make a
Wish foundation, giving kids struggling with a disease a chance to fulfill their biggest
wishes in life. January was also a memorable month because we had a founder’s day
celebration on January 28th! On this day we had a brunch held at the Signature Club of
Lansdowne with multiple Theta alumni from 10 to 50 years ago! It was such a sweet and
loving day for the entire chapter. In February, thirty brave and hardworking thetas took
on the challenge of sleep deprivation and sore feet to partake in the biggest philanthropy
in the nation, DanceBlue! While supporting our Adopt-a-Family child, Brayden, and
dancing for 24 hours straight, UK raised over 1.4 million dollars for the kids! It was truly
a life changing experience not only for our dancers but also for the people who went to
support them and the families of the children that the philanthropy benefitted. As we’re
getting glimpses of spring weather in Kentucky, we’re all starting to get excited for
Stomp-a-Palooza on April 3rd at the Lexington Convention Center with Alpha Phi Alpha.
As the spring gets closer and with plenty more events on the way, we are especially
excited for Keeneland season, the start to recruitment workshops and preparation and
already looking forward to meeting the Fall pledge class of 2014. Until then, we’ll enjoy
our sunny days and snowy nights.
