Chapter Events & Activities
Founder's Weekend
Gamma Pi celebrates their Founder's Day every spring with a formal banquet.
Chapter Philanthropy
Gamma Pi's philanthropy has evolved over time to meet the needs of the chapter. Originally, Gamma Pi held a benefit concert every fall called "Dance for Breath for Cystic Fibrosis" which benefited the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. When the chapter changed its philanthropy to fighting lupus, the concert name was changed to "Band Together against Lupus" benefiting the Lupus Foundation of America. In 2008 the annual concert was changed to a comedy night called "Laugh out Lupus." Periodically the event fluctuates between the Fall and Spring semesters depending upon when the event will be a greater success.
In April 2011, the chapter changed its philanthropy to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Recently in the spring of 2016, the Chapter voted to remove ALS as its primary philanthropy and established a new way of supporting philanthropies. Rather than having just one set Chapter Philanthropy, Gamma Pi would instead hold a vote each year to decide what philanthropy(ies) they would support. By doing so, this keeps the local philanthropy relevant to a majority of the Brothers and also encourages them to work with something they are truly passionate about.
