Good Evening,

Recently, the brothers of Theta Chapter went out and performed for a charity called Greek Sing at Rupp Arena! We raised money and performed a dance for the Make-A-Wish foundation. We are very proud of our brothers and especially the coaches that helped make the dance special for the kids!!

Tonight, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Marlon Gibson from the national office at our chapter meeting. Dr. Gibson have an excellent presentation on what it means to be a man of gentility and respect in today’s world while also being inclusive, as well as how we can embrace cultural humility as a part of our daily lives. Thank you again Dr. Gibson!

One of our brothers who is near and dear to us is trying to help his family by spreading a go fund me for his brother who has been battling cancer for more than three years now and unfortunately the cancer has spread to brain and lungs. The medical costs of cancer are a massive burden to bare on a family. We are asking you to share this go fund me to help aid with the costs of the treatment. Any donation helps tremendously and means the world to the family. Please take a couple seconds out of your day to share the post to get as much help for this family as we can.
