Help!! Send us your rush recommendations!!

0ac443cHello Gamma Zetas,

We need your help!!

Attracting the best possible new members to our chapter is the lifeblood of our fraternity.  We need every undergraduate and alumni member to do their part to recommend qualified candidates to our rush team.  If you know of a young man who will be attending the University of Illinois and you believe would be a great ATO, please complete the brief Recommendation Form on our website at – https://atoillinois.com/recommendation/#!form/Recommendation  Our undergraduate rush team will follow up with them and make sure that they are invited to appropriate rush events.

Also, for the second year in a row, we are making available three $1000 Thomas Arkle Clark scholarships for outstanding high school seniors who will be attending the University of Illinois in the Fall.  Applicants are not required to rush or pledge ATO but we will reach out to guys who look to be good candidates and encourage them to consider our fraternity.  Please refer guys who you believe would be outstanding candidates to our on-line application form and additional information about the scholarships at – https://atoillinois.com/thomas-arkle-clark-memorial-scholarship/

We have an outstanding Rush team for this coming summer/fall season and encourage you to reach out to any of them or me as well if you have any questions.

Ray Tiernan ’13 – 2015 Chicago Take Steps for Crohn’s And Colitis

raytBrothers,

This spring marks the 10 year observance of my diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. In celebration of my current state of health, I am asking friends and family to get together and support an organization that supports local patient programs, as well as important research projects.

Take Steps is CCFA’s national walk, the nation’s largest event dedicated to finding cures for digestive diseases. It is a casual 2-3 mile stroll to raise money for crucial research for Crohn’s and Colitis. Over 1.6 million American adults and children are affected by these digestive diseases.

This cause is very important to me and I appreciate your help as we fight for cures! If you are unable to join me on the day of the event [May 30th, 9am, Montrose Harbor] please donate towards my team’s goal!   Here’s the link –

Cordially,

Ray

Charlie Caudle ’41

Throwback Thursday – The link previously posted about Joe Hagerty ‘17.5 being the “Greek Crush of the Week” reminded me of previous versions of Greek “society” columns that used to appear in the Daily Illini. For today’s “Throwback Thursday”, check out an old column from the DI called YOURSELF AND OTHERS from March 12, 1940 which includes a fun item mentioning Gamma Zeta Charlie Caudle ’41. Charlie also was the editor of another similar column called the Campus Scout.  This occurred quite a bit before my time but I do remember the buzzer systems at the sororities.  Are they still around??
