FOUNDED upon a Rock!

Happy Founders Day!!!
11/11/11

As our new members know very well by now, Gamma Phi Beta was founded at Syracuse University on November 11, 1874 by four amazing women!

Helen M. Dodge, Francis E. Haven, E. Adeline Curtis, Mary A. Bingham

"Since the rock is the firmest and most enduring substance, able to withstand the ravages of time, and offering the strongest protection, it seemed fitting that Gamma Phi Beta should be thus founded. Protecting, like the rock, those who enter our fold, a sure help in time of need, enduring to the end time - this is the wish for Gamma Phi Beta from one of the Founders."
- Eunice Adeline Curtis, Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, 1912

GAMMA PHI'S SUPPORT THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER

The women of Gamma Phi Beta took time out of their Saturday morning to participate in 5K FOR RELAY to support the fight against cancer. The 5K took place in Lot 50 and went around the Texas A&M golf course. Over 20 girls participated and made the morning a memorable one. Sisters walked, jogged, ran, or brought their furry pets and finished the run off with some Red Mango at the finish line. 

We've all been touched by cancer, directly or indirectly, or have lost a loved to the disease, but having a sister by your side makes the journey not so lonely. Sisters, you are not alone!

LET'S FIGHT BACK TOGETHER!

Hillary Desmarais

Euless, TX

Why she loves Gamma Phi:

My favorite thing about Gamma Phi Beta is that you can be yourself and you get to become close with all your sisters.

Why she chose A&M:

I wanted to stay in Texas and not be too far away from home. The people on campus were friendly and they had a good Architecture school.

Summer 2011:

My favorite thing I did this summer was go to the lake with a big group of my friends and we swam cooked out together

Interesting fact:

I am a first generation aggie. 

Comments from members during recruitment:

Michaella W - "Very sweet!"

Amber R - "So sweet and adorable!"

Ramey Parks

San Jose, CA

Why she loves Gamma Phi:

How we have dedication--there's always so much going on; nevertheless, there is always someone (usually more than one someone) willing to pour their heart into a project within our chapter.

Why she chose A&M:

The friendly energy/spirit on campus is contagious (:

Summer 2011:

I climbed to the top of Half Dome (one of the most climbed mountains in Yosemite National Park in California) with my dad. It was a 12 hour hike...8 hours up, 4 hours back...starting at 7am. It was challenging, and even more challenging to persevere because we both did not have permits to climb past the subdome (they have passes because too many people used to climb at once, and bad injuries started occurring too often). Not knowing whether the hike was "worth it" because we could not even reach the top was a mind game, but I am so happy that I pushed through and reached the TOP!

Interesting fact:

I sometimes use Febreeze as perfume...I know... 

I am addicted to gum....literally.

I lived in Canada from 2002-2004.

Comments from members during recruitment:

Vanessa P - "If I could come back and be active I would want her as my little!"

Jessica G - "Super energetic and has our core values!"

Emily Howell

Frisco, TX

Why she loves Gamma Phi:

I love love love how sweet and genuine all the girls are!

Why she chose A&M:

Both my parents went here, and it was my dream school

Summer 2011:

My friends and I went to Schlitterbahn for a one day road trip!  

Interesting fact:

I'm a political science major! 

Comments from members during recruitment:

Ashley T - "Awesome girl!"

Jana K - "Very sweet and loved our philanthropy!"
