So Many New Gorgeous Gammas!
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!"

My favorite thing about Gamma Phi Beta is how welcoming and helpful and warm all the girls have been, it's been really wonderful to come into and I feel like I fit in really well.
Why she chose A&M:
I chose Texas A&M because of how unique it is with all of its traditions and school involvement, plus I just really felt at home the first time I came to visit.
Summer 2011:
For my grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary this summer, ten of us went on a chartered sail boat out of Rockland, Maine. We sailed down the coast of Maine for three days.

Why she loves Gamma Phi:
All the Gamma Phi's in it
Why she chose A&M:
I went to one football game and fell madly in love
Summer 2011:
I went on a Young Life trip called Wilderness in the Colorado Mountains. It was a hiking trip where all you had you carried on your back and you couldn't leave anything behind including trash and wastes. It was and amazing experience and on the last night we had to spend the night individually out in the woods where they left us. During my time alone I had a deer come about 20 yards from me before it realized I was there and froze for a good minuet before it ran away. It was the closest I have ever felt to God and the amazing nature that he has made.
Interesting fact:
I taught my self to not only french braid my own hair but I can also spell letters in other people's hair. If I get enough heads I can spell words.
We should spell Gamma Phi Beta for an event!!!

Donating to Firefighters and Departments
Tonight at our formal meeting, a very important issue was addressed that has been wreaking havoc across the state of Texas for several weeks now- the wildfires.
Gamma Phi Beta ladies did not take long to step up and start an organized way of donating to these firemen and the families that are fighting so hard to keep their homes. Many of the ladies here in our chapter have been affected by the wildfires in some way, and are already showing a great passion in helping out in any way they can.
Emails have been sent out to spread the word of several ways to donate. Whether it be bottled water, Gatorade, or just money to fuel the firetrucks, I'm sure that the departments will take anything that they can get.

Bastrop is an area that has been greatly impacted by these wildfires. People have lost their homes and all of their belongings. Although cold weather is far from our mind right now, winter is right around the corner, and warm blankets will soon be needed. With some donations and crafty girls, Gamma Phi Beta could easily make the fleece-tie blankets we all know and love and deliver them to these families. Blankets for Bastrop.
I know that other Texas A&M organizations are already donating, and we are even uniting with them.
If you are out there and have already been working toward raising donations for the firefighters or departments, we would love to hear about your efforts. The more we pull together as a state, the easier the rebuilding process for these communities will be.
With love,
Chaney Barton
