This year, brothers have expressed interest in playing more intramural sports. The Sports Committee took a poll and organized a volleyball team to play against other organizations on campus. In order to register with Student Recreation, six females had to sign up to participate a week before the first game. There were few to no males interested in playing, however the social committee provided an opportunity for males to play in a co-ed pick-up game later in the week at the campus gym.

Brothers of the North Carolina Chapter enjoy seeing each other regularly outside of meetings. It is important to take breaks our busy lives so we decided to spend a few hours laughing at a nearby $2 movie theater. The social committee organized the event by taking a poll of which movie brothers wanted to see. We decided to see Ted at 7:50pm on Friday, October 26^th. Seven brothers viewed the movie while eating popcorn and other treats. It was great to have an opportunity to laugh, relax, and enjoy the fellowship.

Every semester the Cornell chapter participates in adopt a highway. This is a tradition that occurs every initiation weekend. The 2-mile stretch the chapter is assigned to, is right outside of town. It is a great way for new members to officially participate in community service with the chapter.
