SANTA BARBARA, CALIF.
(ALPHA PHI) Nov. 22, 2004
-- Members of Gamma Beta chapter of Alpha Phi International Fraternity
donated 55 Six Flags®
Magic Mountain®
tickets to the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Barbara.
Outgoing President Laura
Jones and members Jamie Bye, Jessica McNamara and Amber Douglas
represented the chapter at the Boys and Girls Club®,
raffling the tickets among the 150 to 200 children in the after school
program.
"It was a really good
experience. They were so thankful and excited, it was really fun," Jones
said.
Gamma Beta members
received the Six Flags®
Magic Mountain®
tickets as a promotion from the theme park after holding one of its
events there earlier this year. The chapter is also regularly involved
with the Boys and Girls Club®
of Santa Barbara, with a few of its members volunteering at the center a
couple times a week.

as one of the first Greek societies for women. Alpha Phi is dedicated to
promoting sisterhood, cultivating leadership, encouraging intellectual
curiosity and advocating service. The organization is comprised of more
