Social Events

Although the members of Gamma Phi Beta keep busy with school, philanthropy events, and other campus organizations, we also enjoy occasional social events! These include exchanges, date parties, and formals, along with Parent’s Weekend and Cal Poly’s annual Greek Week.

 

It is also important to recognize that the Delta Theta Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta was recognized by Cal Poly with the "Outstanding Safe Social Events" award in the spring of 2009 for hosting properly-regulated, secure, and risk and crisis managed social events. Congratulations!

Greek Week

Cal Poly’s Greek Community holds an annual “Greek Week” which allows each chapter to showcase their talents in sports, academics, music, dance, philanthropy, and, in general, creativity and teamwork. This event takes place in the spring and allows different organizations to be paired up for the week in order to compete against the rest of the Greek Community. This serves as an ideal time to get to know members of different Greek organizations and is a fun and exciting way to work together as a chapter.

 

 

Exchanges

An exchange is when two Greek organizations come together to throw a themed event.  The themes change from quarter to quarter and are held at various locations in San Luis Obispo and the surrounding community. These events are a great opportunity to get to know other Greek chapters at Cal Poly and are always fun to dress up for! Past themes have included "80's Prom," "Under the Sea," "What Used to Be Cool," and "Disco Bowling."

 

 

 

Formal

Every spring, the Delta Theta Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta holds an annual Formal. Dressed to the nines and with a date of their choice, members enjoy dinner and dancing after watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean in Morro Bay. This event is anticipated all year long and is always cherished and memorable as it closes the school year and the seniors get to enjoy one last Gamma Phi Beta event.

 

 

 

Big Little Week 

 

 

During Big Little Week all the "Bigs" spoil their "Littles" with gift baskets and surprises everyday of the week until on the last day the "Big" is revealed to the "Little".

 

 

Date Parties

Each year, the Delta Theta Chapter holds two date parties. Semi-formal, which is held in the fall, entails cocktail dresses and a themed “date party,” held in the winter, entails costumes. Each event allows its members to bring a date of their choice to the event where they will dance the night away. This past year's semi-formal was held in Avila Beach over the harbor and an example of a past date party theme is "Famous Couples."

 

Parent's Weekend

Parent's Weekend allows the Delta Theta Chapter to spend time with their families in San Luis Obispo while meeting the families of other members as well. The weekend includes an unforgettable night of dinner, dancing, and awards, and allows members to showcase the chapter, which has become a home away from home, to their amazing family.
