Miami Mentions - Chapter News
The chapter cohosted the Puddle Pull with the women of Alpha Delta Pi to raise money for the Global Service Initiative. The highlight of the event is the tug of war competition in which the new associate member classes compete against each other in teams of eight. The event is attended by the entire Greek community and prizes are awarded to the first place teams of both the fraternity and sorority bracket. “It has been a tradition in our Fraternity for many years now, and our philanthropy benefited greatly from it,” said Matt Simon ’17. “Everyone truly enjoys this event. It’s physical, which allows the new member classes to compete against each other, which is also very enjoyable. The environment is also one of the best parts because everyone is full of pride for their respective chapters.”
The chapter hosted Battle of the Brains, a trivia event testing knowledge and having fun while competing against other teams. The money raised went to the Ronald McDonald House. “I felt very good about the event and I believe all the participants had a fun time competing for first place,” said Austin White ’16.
The chapter would also like to recognize Charlie Meyer ’16 as the president of the College Republicans, Gunnar Graves ’18 as the governor of the 3rd District on the Associated Student Government of Miami University and Wesley Weber ’16 as the president of Sigma Alpha Pi, the National Society of Leadership and Success. “My conservative politics and desire to grow College Republicans on campus is what led me to run for this position. It’s also cool to see that many DU brothers have taken part in some College Republican events,” said Meyer.
Austin White ’16 is the president of the Improve Through Improv Club, where he runs and plans meetings, and recruits new members for the club. “I look forward to shaping the lesson plans for the improvisational club and seeing all the members improve their skills,” said White.
