Teal Toes with GW Theta!

This fall, Gamma Mu Theta hosted Gamma Kappa Theta at GW in support for a great cause, teal toes! We had lots of laughs & best of all, we got to support an amazing cause, Teal Toes.

Sisters Abroad: Austrailia

Our sisters Lauryn, Kelly, Haley, Sonali, Nikki, Alaina, and Nicki have been studying abroad together in sunny Sydney, Australia this winter break on the International Business Cultures for Engineering and Technology winter program

During this past winter break, seven Gamma Mu Thetas traveled all the way to Sydney, Australia. They completed a course about cultural immersion-in regards to business and engineering. During their time on this three-week UMD program, they visited engineering companies and saw how it was operated in Australia. This helped them gain the knowledge to learn about how to do business across cultures. "It was the best experience of my life I wish I could do it again” – Nikki Cavett

National Hazing Prevention Week

Gamma Mu had a blast today taking over @kappa_alpha_theta snapchat to talk about #nhpw2016!

During National Hazing Prevention Week, we're excited to highlight several college chapters that have gone above and beyond in executing hazing prevention programs and creating supportive chapter environments. Chief Panhellenic Officer Kate Myers shares, "At Gamma Mu, we strive to support each other and develop our members into leaders within the University of Maryland community. We uphold expectations that both the Panhellenic Council and headquarters set for us as a chapter, and by abiding by them, we promote inclusion and safety." Kate said Gamma Mu began the fall semester with a showing of the movie "Haze," which tells the true story of fraternity member Gordie Bailey, who died from hazing-related alcohol poisoning. The chapter followed up the film with a discussion about the insidious roots of hazing and the often-downplayed risks of overconsumption.

This week, the chapter has partnered with several other Greek groups to discuss hazing facts and myths and is proudly displaying an anti-hazing banner. Great work, Gamma Mu! #LeadingWomenDontHaze#IBelieveinGreeks #NHPW2016

Theta's Annual Alumnae Brunch

This past weekend, Theta hosted our annual Alumnae Brunch. All alumnae Thetas were welcome to come and enjoy good food and great company while sharing memories and lessons learned from their time spent in Theta. The brunch was a huge success, with Thetas young and old alike mingling and talking about life both within and outside our chapter. President of the DC alumnae chapter, Chrystelle Zweidler, spoke about getting involved with Theta after graduation through alumnae chapters and networks. We are so thankful for the amazing support and involvement of Theta alumnae and know we can look to them as resources for our ventures both during our time in Theta and after.
