Gamma Nu chapter at RIT recently raised nearly $1,000 for the Hole in the Wall Camps after hosting a new philanthropy event, Breezeway Battle of the Bands. The event was comprised of three acts that competed for an opportunity to perform at Lovin’ Cup, a local restaurant that showcases live music.
Philanthropy Chair Matt Fraher was happy with the event’s turnout and fundraising and credited his brothers for making it a success.
“All of our members within the chapter were committed to making the battle of the bands successful,” he said. “Everyone contributed in their own way, whether it was coming to a planning meeting, visiting local businesses for donations or table-sitting in the Student Alumni Union the days leading up to the event, advertising and soliciting donations.”
The chapter plans to host the event again next year and hopes to expand it further.
“We want to approach more businesses in the area and hope to get more bands to participate,” Fraher said. “We’d like to start advertising the band sign up weeks in advance and get as many bands as possible. Lovin' Cup has committed the same Grand Prize and that is a valuable partnership in making this event even bigger going forward.”

This past Monday night at a Student Government banquet, the SG President Ed Wolf presented Brother Gary Gasper with the Student Government President's Award. The award is given annually to a Faculty/Staff Member/Department who goes above and beyond the normal call of duty to provide support and guidance to the President of Student Government.
"Gary won because not only has he been a great friend, but is always there to help solve some of the many problems that we face. He is a good person who always has students come before anything else," commented SG President Ed Wolf.
Past recipients have been Greg Ott from Facilities Management Services, and Information and Technology Services Desktop Operations.
Gary on winning the award: "Needless to say I was stunned that they did that for me! I am still stunned that I won this as it is very cool and totally unexpected. It's been a great year...after winning the staff Council Award in October and now the SG award...I guess it goes to show you that our daily interactions with students really do count!"
Gary has previously won the Dr. Edgar Ewing Brandon Award twice and the Phi Award from Phi Kappa Tau National, along with three other service awards from RIT including the Dancy Duffus Outstanding Citizenship Award which recognizes an individual that provides exceptional service to students and the University constituents, exhibits outstanding leadership qualities, and is a model of service to the RIT Community.
Congratulations to Gary!

For the first time in several years, men from the Gamma Nu Chapter presented for the President's Cup, an award given to the most outstanding Greek chapter at RIT. Although the President's Cup eluded the men this year, Gamma Nu Chapter Brothers did not leave empty handed. Three Brothers were honored with individual awards, and the chapter left the awards ceremony with a stronger resolve to win the cup next year. Congratulations to the following individual winners:
- Theta Xi Scholarship for Excellence in Scholastic Achievement and Dedicated Service to the RIT Greek Community - Phil Frandina
- Male New Member of the Year - Andrew Nock
- Male Scholar of the Year - Anthony Blatner
Congratulations guys, and keep up the good work within the chapter as well as in the Greek community as a whole. |
