The Beta Gamma chapter welcomed
eleven new members this spring and celebrated
with a trip to the Virginia Museum
of Fine Arts, to see its newly renovated
galleries of ancient art. In the fall, members
participated in a campus-wide event
called Trick or Treat Street, a Halloween
festival for families in the community. Our
activity was “mosaics”: children created
works of art using graham crackers, icing,
and m&m’s. We also sent a delegation
to the annual VJCL convention, here in
Richmond, to help with tests, colloquia,
and logistics and to represent UR at an
admissions fair. Our tradition of weekly
“Classical Teas” continues, where students
socialize with each other and with faculty
and even play Latin Scrabble.
