Junior member Jill Hall, pictured above with her sisters, received the honor of Greek Week Representative of the year, a prestigious award given to a select member of the Greek community each year. The excitement of the Wolverines football season also meant Saturday morning pre-parties with Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. Football was an exciting time of the year, and Gamma Phi ' s looked forward to their scholarship program. We get footballs on our doors, and our groups compete to see who can move down the football field the quickest, said sophomore psychology major Kristin Derosa. Friendly competition was important to Gamma Phi Beta, even though sometimes the most fun came after the big events. After losing Derby Day ' s tug-of-war, we walked home covered in mud, took showers and then ran back to support our basketball team, recalled senior Panhellenic Delegate, Nicole Robbins. Sisterhood for Gamma Phi ' s encompassed food, fun and relaxation. Fall Retreat was held at a camp where members toasted s ' mores and learned more about each other. The new member retreat was held at President Jasmine Zarzecki ' s house. Date parties were held approxi- mately three times a semester and were most often Gamma Phi ' s favorite memories. Square dancing, roasted marshmallows and hayride defined October ' s Barndance. Gamma Phi ' s skated their way around Yost Ice Arenaat Impromptu Date Party on Nov. 6. Social chairs, Chris Bonnuti and Laurie Peluso announced Impromptu in The Michi- gan Daily ' s classified section this year. The annual winter formal titled One Starry Night was held at the Athenium in Greektown. Gamma Phi Beta saluted their seniors at Senior Formal, held at Greenfield Village. Gamma Phi Beta meant a lot to its members. My favorite memory was the night before everyone came back this fall. Exec went to Mei jer and we bought everyone a welcome gift. We were so excited to do something for everyone, said Sudha Veerapaneni . All members agreed that living in the house created great memo- ries. Sophomore Brooke McGahey said, It ' s like living in a house with 52 of my best friends. Gamma Phi Beta 277
