Group Activities Strengthen Relationship Striving to strengthen the bond which held the two clubs together, Alpha Tau and GATA worked closely during the year and provided enthusiastic support for each other. A campfire and devotional at B-Rock brought old members together to remin - isce over memories from past semesters and to plan for new ones. Inductees from both clubs presented a talent show for the old members during pledge month and a "spud" party provided all with an opportunity to create their own version of the most delicious baked potato. A pizza party at Mazzio's capped off the month 's induction activities. Wednesday night church service, held every other week in the Sears conference room, served a vital purpose in bringing the groups closer spiritually. Each member benefited from the uplifting singing and the inspiring lesson that was taught by different Alpha Tau members at each service. Alpha Tau and GATA also gave each other wholehearted support during club sports and were often heard over campus as they cheered each other on to victory. An early morning prayer breakfast with the women of Zeta Rho began the fall semester for GATA. Four mixers were hosted to meet the freshmen and transfers and a "steak-out" at Western Sizzlin preceded voting night at sponsor Mrs. Berry's home. During pledge month , inductees got to recite the GATA poem, "tif you wanna tis me ..." , write odes to the flagpole, and d ress backwards for one day. Old members monitored the mandatory study halls during academic week, and spirit week found GATA inductees designing posters fo r the homecoming game and sending encouraging notes to members of the Bison football team.
