The Theta Upsilon Chapter at Texas A&M has been hard at work raising money and donating canned foods for the local community, and is being recognized for it!

In December, the chapter worked with the other 55 Greek letter organizations on its campus to gather 9,500 pounds of food for the local Food Bank. The Greek groups were separated into six small groups, and gathered cans in an effort to raise the most out of all of the groups.

The Theta Upsilon Chapter had the most brothers participate of any group on campus, and was awarded the Spirit Award for this accomplishment. They also raised 2/3 of the cans in their small group - another impressive statistic.

In addition, the chapter held its annual Miss Greek pageant in February, an event that raised money for the Adam Crockett Tumor Fund. The ACT Fund is named in honor of a chapter alumnus who is battling brain cancer. The event included nominess from eight of the campus' sororities who were judged on community service, number of t-shirts and tickets sold, and how they answered a question the night of the event. In all, the event raised $4,000 for the ACT Fund.
