| Sisters at Camp Gamma Phi! |
Crescent Classic was a three day event, in which 12 teams participated. The philanthropy is thrown to support Girls on the Run and Campfire USA, organizations that focus on building strong girls.
The opening event was Monday night and was called Camp Gamma Phi, where the teams were able to participate in camp-like activities. The activities included sleeping bag relay races, a corn-hole toss competition, a smore-stacking competition, and finally a tent pitching competition. Tuesday night was Gamma Phi Live in the GLC on campus, where each team participated in a skit that was to be judged by members of the Virginia Tech basketball team. On Wednesday the 26th, the final competition, Moonball, was held. Moonball is a glow in the dark volleyball tournament. The volleyball nets were strung with lights, the volleyballs were painted in glow in the dark paint, and all of the sisters were wearing neon and decked out in glow sticks.

The Thursday night after Crescent Classic, the sisters of Gamma Phi Beta had a sisterhood sleepover at the house to relax after a week of philanthropy and to celebrate a successful Crescent Classic. Bigs made "sleepover baskets" for their littles and everyone enjoyed a night in with the sisters. Overall, $2,000 was raised to support Girls on the Run and Campfire USA. The teams had a great time and the sisters of Gamma Phi Beta had a ton of fun cheering on the participants!
The next two weeks, the sisters of Gamma Phi Beta are busy at work to prepare for Homecoming by supporting their sister Alex Mellen in her run for Homecoming Queen!!!! "With a name like Mellen, it's gotta be good"!!
