Words from the President.Julian Blair Watkins

Greetings Brothers of Gamma Mu, ! I anticipate that everything is well with all of the brothers during this holiday season. As we enter the holiday season, we must remember to give thanks to the Heavenly Father for all of his blessings.Last weekend was a wonderful weekend of fellowship and to conduct the business of Alpha. During ANCA, our chapter participated in three competitions, Miss Black & Gold pageant, Brother of the Year, and Brother with the Highest GPA. Our current Miss Black & Gold, did not place, but she performed to the best of her ability and we can not ask for more on her behalf. During ANCA, I ran for Brother of the Year. Sadly I did not win, but I will take this experience and learn from it

and try again next year. Although, I did however win highest GPA in ANCA.As we all know Alpha is very costly towards the chapter. During this conference the chapter has currently exhausted our funds due to registration fees. In order for us to have intake next semester, we must payout our insurance fee of $900. As a chapter, we are doing our best to raise money through raffles and selling food to student as well as teachers and other events, but we are not sure if we will raise all the money by ourselves. So I am coming to EVERY past brother of Gamma Mu in this letter, asking everybody in the spirit of brotherhood to please give what you can to help the chapter. We are in dire need of support from everybody. The chapter will be setting up a pay pal account on tomorrow. Information about the pay pal account will be sent out tomorrow as well.Sincerely, Bro. President Julian B. Watkins EMAIL: julianwatkins86@gmail.comHAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Congratulations to Julian for winning highest GPA

If You Think 

If you think you are beaten, you are.If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you like to win, but think you can't,It's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.For out of the world we find

Success begins with a fellow's will --It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you areYou've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself beforeYou can win the prize.

Life's battles don't always goTo the stronger or faster man.

But sooner or later, the man who winsIs the man who thinks he CAN.

HAPPY

THANKSGIVING

[Fraternally]

P.S. HAPPY HOLIDAYS
