Gamma Phi Beta is Wild for Fall Semster

On Saturday, September 15th, the sisters of Gamma Phi Beta, Eta Epsilon chapter went on their annual fall retreat to Mill Mountain Zoo in Roanoke. While on the retreat, sisters were able to see over 175 animals, including 7 endangered species (the adorable sea otters were a big hit!).  They were able to go into a small reptile house, and come within feet of some exotic birds. After eating lunch at the pavilion, they participated in a few fun team-bonding activities and created some new goals for the fall semester!

The chapter is hard at work to prepare for their philanthropy this month. This upcoming week the sisters of Eta Epsilon are looking forward to the start of their 2nd Annual Crescent Classic to help support their international philanthropy, Campfire USA.  The aim for this program is to build resiliency in young girls to help shape them to be strong, confident leaders in the future.  Before school resumed last month, Gamma Phi Beta sisters from 5 chapters travelled to visit Campfire Patuxent in Maryland to work and play games with the campers.  The sisters loved being able to spend the day with the kids that their philanthropy goes towards.  Memories were made that will last a life time with the campers, and they are looking forward to and will hopefully be returning to the camp.

The sisters have a busy fall semester filled with football games, their philanthropy Crescent Classic, recruitment workshops, and sisterhood dinners, but they're starting off strong and excited for the start of a new school year!
