Over the holiday break, a large group of brothers went on
the annual transition weekend to the Wheel Inn in Chattum Ontario.
December 20th brothers brought dates to the first annual KDR Christmas
dinner, hosted at the house. They had all the decorations and the tree,
brothers each brought a dish to pass, and all enjoyed a white elephant
gift exchange.
Greek Week
was once again an unforgettable experience for the brothers. The events
were strong with a large showing of the brotherhood at each one.
Amazingly KDR won basketball over the giant NPHC team. Once again we won
Air Band for the third year in a row! This years show was a collection
of Disney Songs from Aladdin, Cinderella, Snow White, The Little
Mermaid, & Beauty And The Beast. The week came to a close with KDR as
the BACK-to-BACK GREEK WEEK CHAMPIONS. The fraternity was also honored
with highest GPA on campus and the Chapter of Excellence for the second
year in a row also. Brother Stephen Kontos also received the Brotherhood
Award. Brothers, friends, and alumni celebrated the success with a joint
BBQ and party with the Kappa Beta Gamma sorority at the KDR house.
The summer continued
fundraising with car washes, while philanthropy was also continued with
The Relay for life. The 2nd Annual KDR Family BBQ had to be
postponed due to the blackout that included the entire the northwestern
portion of the nation, it had to be canceled.

On August 23rd
The third annual Alumni Banquet was held at Pasquales in Royal Oak.
The 2003-3004 school year
began with great enthusiasm from the entire brotherhood. Everyone wanted
to step in and help out with rush where ever and whenever they could.
There was outstanding attendance at the rush events as well with the
entire brotherhood showing up to at least 2/3 of the events. Eleven bids
ended up being passed out with seven exceptional men excepting their
bids.
At the end
of November the Alpha Gamma Chapter had their first ever visit by
another chapter of the fraternity. The Eta Chapter from the University
of Illinois brought 40 guys for the weekend. They were shown a good time
by a night on the town in Canada the first night and then the second
night there was a mixer with the women of Kappa Beta Gamma. The Eta
Chapter left thanking Alpaha Gamma for showing them and excellent time
over the weekend and extending an invitation to come and visit them
sometime the next term.
Over the Christmas break a group of brothers made the
annual return to the Wheel Inn in Chattum bringing memorable experiences
once again. Transition was changed though instead of being held on the
trip it was changed to before hand to make sure that the incoming
officers were fully prepared. Brothers and dates also returned to the
fraternity house for the 2nd annual Christmas party with
people bringing a dish to pass. The white elephant gift exchange was
also a continued tradition with gifts of sarcasm and generosity given.
