On April 18th, Phi U Gamma held its annual Spring Initiation and Potluck at the Advent Lutheran Gathering Hall. With 45 people in attendance, the event was a wonderful opportunity for members of the Alumni and Collegiate chapters to come together and celebrate.

The event began with a potluck dinner and a warm welcome to the new Phi U Gamma Members, who were initiated to the Chapter by Collegiate Initiation Chair Gina Weng, President Briana Gendics, Maria Abdul-Masih, Anna Czarnecki, and Delany Phillips.

A special thank you to the Gamma Alumni members for their constant support of the Collegiate Gamma Chapter. Their financial support for new initiates' national dues, coordination of the Spring Potluck, sponsorship of the Founders' Day Event in February, and sponsorship of the Holiday Brunch and Auction on November 2nd at the Worthington Presbyterian Church have all been invaluable in supporting the Collegiate Chapter.
We are grateful to everyone who was able to attend and contribute to the Spring Potluck and Initiation. It was a wonderful evening of celebration and fellowship.
