    This past spring was not one of our best rushes. We had started the semester with 3 canidates, and ended up with one new member. Brad Marshall was able to stay through it all and showed that he is a worthy canidate. Hopefully we can learn from this semester and make the rest of the rushes better by not making the same mistakes again. Too Brad though welcome to the bonds of Theta Xi.

    Well their isn't enough words in the world to say enough about Brian Powell. Brian is done with college and is moving on to work in Kansas City. As soon as I find out more I will let you know. Powell has been a key factor in this chapters stability and its growth through its short history. If you ever needed anything Powell was there for you, if the "shit hit the fan", Powell was in there with you. He was the kind of brother who would do anything for you. He is what we would say is 115% Theta Xi, and now he is going to have to leave us and become a very valuable Alumni. Hopefully he can work some magic on our Alumni Organization and get it on its feet too. Well, Powell good luck and don't forget about your brothers at Gamma Rho.

    Here at Gamma Rho we have decided to make road side clean up our Community Service. We clean up twice a year, maybe more if needed, the intersection of HW 36 and N. Belt HW. This year we cleaned this intersection twice and it looks great, especially from the road. I am guessing that we collected almost twenty bags of trash over the year.

    Rush for the fall is going to be more intense than the past years. We have already made plans for the fall semester rush, and are making plans for summertime rushing. We are increasing our budget and are opening our minds to any suggestion on how we can become a stronger Chapter, and have a larger membership base. Details of the fall rush week are located here.
