Newsletter Since Fritz lead the fraternity's newsletter, the Gamma Betan, in Fall 2003, I gained interest in the field of journalism. Well, actually, I thought that he could have made a better newsletter. Fritz's newsletter was definitely fun to read and appealed to his close friends. The newsletter is more than just fun reading: it is a medium that allows the producers of it to educate the readers about what is happening around them. It allows authors to tell their story to other people and it does so in a subsistent way. With this platform, I worked on the newsletter committee the following semester in Spring 2004 as editor with a staff consisting or Mike Lynch, Mike Huen, Ajay Sharma, Michelle Hale, Andrew Phan and Long Huynh. Together, we churned out 3 issues together.Simultaneously, I worked with the Alumni committee and knew that they had their own separate newsletter. The Fall 2003 Alumni Newsletter was compiled entirely by Judith. It had articles written by the executive committee and a last page ad for the Scholarship fund (note: scholarship must be spelled correctly under any circumstance!). That newsletter was made exclusively for the alumni. The succeeding newsletter in Spring 2004 came from the brainchild of Richwood Borja. He had more articles and pictures. Notably, it had input from alumni and few articles on service projects. This was fairly close to the existing Gamma Betan because they shared components and sent a similar message. Working with both the newsletter and Alumni Committees, I felt the urge to merge the two publications, and thus I introduce to you the The Gamma Betan: Alumni Edition. The Gamma Betan: Alumni Edition

It is filled with detailed information on selected members, events, and shout outs. InVision- (September 2003 Volume 2003 Issue 2) APO Section 4 put this together with articles from around Region 10, Section 4.There is a description of their website (you can find the link on the APO GB website) and articles from the Section 4 staff. I am looking for The Gamma Betan March issue (Since I gave mine to Stanford's Zeta Chapter) If you have that or any any other APO-related newsletter, then please contact me and we can arrange something together.

This version of the newsletter will gracefully integrate
aspects from both the Gamma Betan and the Alumni newsletters. The goal it to
create the best newsletter ever. In order to do this, we, the Newsletter
Committee will utilize resources from many branches of the club, which
includes the Public Relations, Alumni Secretary, Secretary, Historian and
alumni. This newsletter will appeal to both the active and alumni groups and
will emphasize on the unity of the Alpha Phi Omega, Gamma Beta Chapter as a
whole; past, present, and future. It will run articles from diverse
viewpoints and have different ways of presenting its content. The main
purpose of this newsletter is to advertise the Gamma Beta and its 65th
Anniversary so that it would encourage alumni to attend our events on the
65th and beyond.
