March came and went, faster than any of us could have imagined.
With it, it brought plenty of exams, chapter meetings, socials, and in this month particularly, lots of service.
Community service that is.
Every March, Texas A&M University holds a big event, in order to serve the local Bryan/College Station area. This event, by the name of "The Big Event", is one that never seizes to amaze people. Over 17,000 students sign up for this yearly, with the intention of doing manual labor to help make our local community even better.
This year Gamma Phi Beta teamed up with the Aggie Men's Alliance (AMA), and gladly contributed to this great cause. Together, they did things from working outside and raking leaves, to painting walls and redecorating a home.
"It makes me feel like I'm actually being helpful to these people I don't even know"
"It's so rewarding to see the look of gratitude on these people's faces to have us all there"
"I love it, I look forward to doing it every year because I know that I can make a difference even if it is one just this one day"
These are only some of the positive feedback heard from the ladies of Gamma Phi.
One of our four core values as Gamma Phi Betas is "Labor", and service is one of our top priorities. We encourage every sister to participate in Big Event, as is it not only a phenomenal way to service the community, but it is also fun to mix with a men's organization all to just help a great cause.
Big Event was a success this year, and we have no doubt in our mind that every year will just be getting better, and better.
Till next time,
The Sisters of Gamma Phi Beta at Texas A&M .
