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.
