goal of 3.0 chapter GPA. We are in the process of<br />

developing a scholarship fund to serve as an<br />

tremendous success as we surpassed all other<br />

basketball tournament and the many contributions<br />

made by our alumni, we were able to donate over<br />

$14,000 to ALS. With the recent medical<br />

breakthroughs in research, we are proud to know<br />

that we have played a part in finding a cure for<br />

this disease. <strong>No</strong>t only were we able to contribute<br />

money to charity, we also were able to contribute<br />

ourtime as well, Thisyear, through our<br />

participation in Rock Chalk Revue, a university<br />

sponsored musical philanthropy, we donated over<br />

1800 hours of community service and were thus<br />

named Most Charitable Chapter at KU,<br />
