J'llpfia 'Tau & (j.9L'T.9L Positive Attitudes Accompany Achievement Established back in 1938, Gata has continued to accomplish many outstanding things that stand behind the name. Each year Gata sponsors the "Winter Festival" which is an event to help raise money for children to attend Camp Wyldewood . A queen is crowned at the festival and there are activities to attend. But the main focus of the event is to enable children who cannot afford it to attend camp. Ashley Cosby, club president, said, " The activity that we do lets us know that we are doing something to help enrich the summers for the children who might not be as fortunate as we are. ' ' Gata is unique; it is the oldest club on campus, and all of its sponsors were once in Gata themselves. No matter whether it was sports or other club functions, they gave it their best shot. Perhaps that is why they are called " Gata" - Girls· Aiming Toward Achievement. Gata 's brother club, Alpha Tau Epsilon, proved itself once again to be a dedicated club. It was established in 1968, and the club has kept their dedication to God as well as to each other. Beginning in the fall, Alpha Tau gained 22 new members. Adding new members not only increased the size, but also their strength in growing closer to God. Leslie Riddle, club president, said, " We have pulled together to become an active, close-knit club, with close friendships that form as time passes. ' ' This year Alpha Tau did service projects around the community such as painting an elderly lady's house on Harding Drive. From sports to service projects, Alpha Tau worked hard at maintaining a positive attitude.+ - Eric French FA~ILY AFFAIR. Denita and Wayne Phillips share a moment to look through their club box.
