Gamma Phi Beta Gets Spooky




This week, in celebration of Halloween, the girls of Gamma Phi Beta participated in the Oak Lane Trick-or-Treat on Friday, October 28, 2011. Despite the frigid weather Blacksburg likes to surprise us all with, the girls sent a team out to walk the children around to each house while a few others stayed back at the house to entertain the children on their journey. The girls gave candy and helped the kids color a cute Halloween picture for someone special in their life. Everyone dressed up in things like Ms. America, girl scout, ballerina, and cowgirls which really got the kids more excited to hangout with us. After the Trick-or-Treat was over, Gamma Phi Beta had a fun and exciting sisterhood event at the house. There was candy apple making, a costume contest, food, dancing, and good bonding time with sisters. Gamma Phi Beta is still new to this campus and is enjoying participating in everything the Greek community has to offer. Seeing those kids in their adorable costumes so happy to just be a part of what the community was doing for them really hit close to home. Everyone is ready for that break to go home and see family and being able to help out the families that participated in the trick-or-treat gave us a little touch of home.
