Chapter Events & Activities
Founder's Weekend
Theta chapter is still working on an activity worthy of founders weekend.
Risk Management: Finance Frenzy
This event was created by Lucas Snyder in the spring semester of 2007 and has continued to be modified by Risk Management heads ever since. The game is based very closely on the game of life but instead of being given a car you have to finance it. In most cases you will also have to finance your house. Throughout the game you can lose your job, house or car and get a new one. You can even trade your car in. Every turn counts as year in your life and you must make payments on your house and car along with any other items you've acquired including children. The resources for this game are all on line and can be sent to any brother that would like to use them. Just contact a Theta Chapter member.
Other Event or Activity
One service event that Theta Chapter is very active with is St. Baldrick's (http://www.stbaldricks.org/). St. Baldrick's is a foundation which raises money to find cure for childhood cancer. Theta Chapter has participated in 2010 and 2011.
