Alpha and Omega Party

Yet another school year has come to pass. As another chapter in the lives of fourteen graduating Alumni of the fraternity at the University of Florida is pushing forward, a new chapter in the lives of men seeking brotherhood and discipleship in the upcoming Fall is pushing towards fruition.

Brothers spent the Annual Alpha & Omega evening reflecting on their testimonies and involvement with the fraternity. After having poured four years of their lives into the brotherhood, experiences recounted were so numerous one could write a book, not just any book, a textbook. Brothers founded in the blood of Christ are rare to find in today's culture, especially during college years. Community through the foundation of Fellowship Groups (FGs) and Accountability Groups (AGs) defined the year. A refocus on what bonds us together spiritually and spiritual growth propelled the fraternity through the semester and will surely propell the fraternity to new levels spiritually in years to come. As Alumni leave the city where Championships are born, their connection with the brotherhood will live on through the plans for an Alumni Association and Board headed by Aaron Shoemaker and Mark Mayleben which will provide counsel, prayer, and support to the brotherhood. Dave Chauncey, next year's fraternity President, led the celebration of the brothers time with the fraternity. As each brother embarks on new chapters, our bonds in the blood of Christ and our commitment to encouraging one another in the faith will live on.

The fraternity focuses mainly on brotherhood through discipleship through weekly chapter meetings with worship, prayer, and devotionals. This provides brothers an opportunity to share in their bonds and focus on growing as men of God. The fraternity also held its annual Formal with Sigma Phi Lambda at an upscale downtown venue.

Brothers also committed time with leading an afternoon of games with the elderly of Gainesville, addressing the need for a wheel chair ramp for the elderly, and spending time making and delivering meals to people of need. Former Kappa Chi brother Kory Cassell helps leads Unite NOW, a campus wide event where over 800 Christ followers worship and pray for one another, the Campus, the Nation, and the World at the Reitz Ampitheatre each semester.

The Chapter celebrates the lives of these brothers graduating, not because of their vast involvements and accomplishments here at the University of Florida, but because of their focus on discerning God's will and living their lives for His glory. We pray for your ministries as you begin new chapters in your lives and hope to stay in close contact. God bless you and Godspeed.
