Old Masters Program:
If you have seen the yellow buttons around campus worn by
students you know exactly what that means.... it’s time for Old
Masters again! The Old Master Program is one of the oldest programs here at Purdue dating back to the 1950s. The mission
of the program is to inspire a diverse group of individuals to pursue a lifetime of personal development interactions with
proven leaders by embracing tradition, uniting generations, and impacting tomorrow. This year the program starts on Sunday
November 2nd to come hear the Old Masters talk about their success stories and Classroom talks to have an Old Master come
and speak to your class. Please visit the Old Masters website at http://www.purdueoldmasters.org/ to look for more information!
Campus Events Greek Olympics: The Greek Olympics 2014, hosted by Sigma Chi, took another huge step forward
this year. The event took place on September 28th from 1 - 4 pm at the Rankin Track and Field Arena and featured 34 different fraternities and sororities as they all competed to be crowned The
Greek Olympians of Purdue University. A total of 5 events took place including: 4x100m relay, 100m dash, a football throw competition, tug-of-war, and a water balloon launch/catch
competition. After a long day of battles, the gentlemen Pi Kappa Alpha were crowned champions for the fraternities and the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta took home the title for the sororities.
Runner up's for the men included Phi Gamma Delta in second place and Phi Kappa Psi in third place. Second place for the ladies was Chi Omega, while Delta Delta Delta came out with a third
place finish. The Champions for the event will be awarded trophies and champion t-shirts during the Purdue University Dance Marathon on November 22nd.
While the day may have ended with a Fraternity and Sorority being crowned Champions, we must take time to think about the real champions that came from this event. All of the proceeds
will be given to Riley hospital for Children to help fund cancer research and doctors who everyday wage war against childhood illnesses. The final amount raised by the event was over $4000 which
will help give the kids at Riley Hospital a fighting chance at having lives that are as blessed as ours in the Greek Community at Purdue University. Thank you to everyone that came out to support this great cause!

Gimlet: Purdue Gimlet Leadership
Honorary is one of the oldest organizations at Purdue. Dating
back to 1922, Gimlet was formed as an all Greek booster club for Purdue
athletics. Raising School Spirit at events and keeping Boiler Maker
tradition alive through taking care of the Victory Bell and supporting
athletic teams in any way they could. Originally Gimlet was
comprised of the most school spirited and outgoing senior
fraternity men on campus. Over the
years it has turned into some of the most influential and driven leaders
on campus from both fraternities and sororities. It is still easy to
distinguish a Gimlet by their traditional uniform of Black Sweaters
with a gold ‘G’ embroidered on them. Often recognized for their push-ups
in the North End Zone of Ross Ade stadium, or leading a fan section at
any other Purdue Athletic Event. As a unit Gimlet Leadership Honorary
pledges to improve university athletics, create a heightened spirit
of loyalty and be of general service
to Purdue at all times.

UIFI: Purdue was held May 11-15th at Camp Tecumseh- YMCA. Purdue is one of the few universities to host a campus based UIFI program. 90 of Purdue’s fraternity and sorority current and emerging leaders attended a 5-day values based
leadership institute. Over 60 chapters were represented. Participants experienced hands-on interaction, experiential activities, discussion time, and personal reflection time.
