This past weekend, three of our Alumni (Chris Swan, Gregg Shaffer, and Michael Cummings) and four undergraduate brothers attended the Theta Chi Fraternity National Convention in San Antonio, Texas. Our chapter got to head back to Des Moines with an Alter Award, the highest award given to a chapter, and the Sidney Ann Gilpin Lewis Memorial Trophy, recognizing excellence and achievement in community service and philanthropy.

We are incredibly proud of this chapter and excited to see what the future holds for Theta Chi - Gamma Tau.
