Happy Holidays from Gamma Rho!!
Holidays at Gamma Rho
  The 31 house residents have enjoyed the summer basement renovation of the house and constantly use the downstairs lounge area with new 60" HDTV to watch Northwestern football and basketball games as well as gaming on the Xbox One. A Christmas tree and other decorations filled the house in the two weeks between Thanksgiving and winter break.
  The Chapter is looking forward to formal recruitment week when they return from break. 
Fall Quarter Recap
   Gamma Rho hosted another fantastic Thanksgiving dinner a week before the "real" Thanksgiving. Over 90 brothers and freshman attended the dinner which included glazed ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, asparagus, salad, pumpkin & pecan pie, and of course turkey. The alumni association's homecoming event at Chicago q was terrific. About 40 alumni and friends came together and enjoyed an premium BBQ dinner and a full cocktail bar. A big thanks to all those that attended.

Additional photos can be seen on the Chapter's flickr account here.
Gamma Rho Wins House of the Quarter
The Gamma Rho House Corporation was awarded the Pi Kappa Alpha "House of the Quarter" award for fall 2014. The House Corp. received a $250 award for house improvements which was used to restore old composites and a plaque which is displayed in the Chapter House's trophy case.
