Ryan Stratton, AVC VP Member Development

Brothers,

On June 18th, thirteen of our brothers went white water rafting through the Hudson River Gorge, in the Adirondacks. Our group consisted of alumni from the classes of 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and two under graduates. We rented a cabin in nearby North Creek, where we all stayed for Friday and Saturday nights.

The trip was a great success and will hopefully be the first of many events put on by the AVC around the country. Our goal is to provide fun weekend or day long events for alumni to meetup. Every year our numbers continue to grow and as an AVC we are trying to add more events, programing, and services for our expanding member base. If you have any interest in trying to organize an event, be it in Baltimore, Boston, Texas, or wherever; please reach out to myself or another member of our AVC. Also if you aren’t already a member of our 100 Brother Challenge, please go to our website to learn more and consider joining. Even a small monthly donation can go a long way in towards events like this, expanding our scholarships, and allowing us to better serve our undergraduate chapter.

Below are a few photos of other events that have taken place over the last few months.

Fraternally,

Ryan Stratton

Sean Reisch (2013) and Brandon Lennox (2013) both recently returned from their expedition to Tanzania, in East Africa, where they climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro or “Kili” is the tallest mountain in Africa and one of the fabled “Seven Summits” and one of the few places on the continent with year around snow and ice due to the high elevation (19,000 ft).

A few weeks ago Nathan Gonser (2015) finished climbing the 46 Adirondack High Peaks. He finished on top of Mt. Marcy, the tallest mountain in the State, standing over a mile high. Too my knowledge he is the third member of our chapter to finish this feat, following his tree members Ryan Stratton (2014) & Chris Frewin (2014). (Sunrise pic, cloud mist/sunrise pic, boots photo)
