philanthropy events hosted This year, our chapter really focused on trying to become more involved both in our Greek comminuty and on our campus with other non-greek organizations. One way we showed a great deal of support for greek life was by participating in the University of Pittsburgh's annual Pitt Dance Marathon. There, we had seventeen of our sisters raised over one hundred dollars each for Children's Miracle Network by either participating as a dancer (participants who stood and danced for the full sixteen hours) or dreamers (participants who remained active for eight hours).

This year, Gamma Epsilon had their first formal spring recruitment and informal fall recruitment. This past
calender year we gained Spring 2016 and Fall 2016, making wonderful additions to our chapter. We
received an award for parent and alumni engagement in Cathedral Standards of Excellence, as well
as a Standards award at the Kappa convention. We had several successful sisterhood events; in
October, we went to Sorgels, the local pumpkin patch, and in December, we had a holiday event
where we decorated the house for the holidays and decorated cookies.
