The Fall 2007 semester began with another dominant rush for Gamma Omega. 26 bids were offered to the best men on campus, and 25 bids were accepted.
The Chapter initiated 16 men in November, bringing the current active roll to 83 members.
Pike continues to rule the sports scene in all areas. The Chapter currently stands atop the President’s Cup rankings with championships in flag football, three-on-three basketball, tennis (singles and doubles), floor hockey, dodgeball, and golf. Said Athltics Chairman Dave Mulato (Fall ’04), “We dominate in everything we do.”
Athletics is just one of many things that Pike does well on the UM campus. Campus involvement includes over 45 organizations, clubs, or sports teams.
Current SMC Scott Ingold (Spring ’07) is in charge of Fun Day, a community service event benefiting special needs citizens in Miami-Dade County. Five more brothers join him on the executive board.
Chris Casella (Spring ’07) was elected as a senator for the School of Business Administration.
Alex Gelep (Fall ’05) will lead the Interfraternity Council as Vice President of Recruitment. Gelep is joined in the IFC by Matt Starnes (Fall ’06) and Alex Candee (Fall ’05). Starnes will serve as Recruitment Coordinator, while Candee will serve as Department of Wellness and Rcreation Coordinator.
Brother Gelep is also a member of the Deferred Recruitment Committee, which determined the rules and regulations that the school will use when it switches to deferred recruitment in the next year.
Gamma Omega also continued to give back to the community in the fall semester. Over 30 brothers and pledges participated in the National Gandhi Day of Service, planting trees by the Miami River Walk and picking up trash at a convalescent home in Little Havana.
The semester closed with the first semiformal in three years, a cruise through Biscayne Bay that stands out as the social highlight of the year so far.
With Pikes in varsity and intramural athletics, Pikes involved on campus, and Pikes serving the community, Fall 2007 was another semester of strength and excellence for Gamma Omega.
