Aglympics, Relay, and Scholarship Day

This past weekend has been jam packed with plenty of excitement for the men of Delta Theta Sigma. Later this week, we will post more about each of these topics listed in the headline, but considering the enormous amount of content that we packed into this past weekend, we figured it was worth a short update.

Aglympics: For the fifth (5th) straight year, Delta Theta Sigma has taken home the Aglympics trophy. The streak in and of itself is impressive, but even more impressive is the fact that it was five years ago that Aglympics was brought back by CFAES. That, of course, means that for as long as Aglympics has existed in "modern times," there has been but one victor: us. It is astounding to have so much success in one year. With Chapter of the Year, the three others from Greek life, and Aglympics, it's hard to fathom how far we have come, and how truly fortunate we have been as a fraternity.

Relay: There will be more to come on this, but here just a preliminary report. The author of this article (spoiler alert it's me, Dave Dziak), has not heard any of the numbers as to how much we have raised for American Cancer Society. I know that this year has not been as profitable as past years. This year, Relay for Life did not fall during Greek week, thus there was much participation than usual, according to early reports. This author was unable to attend unfortunately, whereas in past years, I was able to be there for 24 straight hours two years in a row. We had a slushy machine set up as well as our usual pulled pork sandwiches. From what I've gathered so far, the lower attendance rates cost us in terms of profit so I don't know how much we ended up making, but our members were there for most, if not all of the time Relay was going on. I'll be sure to update you, but I can assure you that we did not raise $700 like last year (probably because I wasn't there to use my salesman pitch).

Scholarship Day: Once again, we had a successful Scholarship Day. I believe the total number of applicants to accept is currently around 14. At this rate, with our sophomore recruits, we will surely have no problem having a full house as well as an outstanding recruitment season. Again, I'll be sure to update you all once we get a final count on our scholarship guys. Needless to say, this past weekend has been ridiculously chalk full of fun activities that have continued to make the fraternity better. Look forward to more news this week, but we just wanted to provide a quick synopsis of what's been going on this weekend. Stay tuned for more news!
