Chapter Sweet Chapter

ALPHA (Syracuse)

Because this issue of The Crescent kicks off our 150th commemorative issues for the year, it’s only fitting we spotlight the chapter where our sisterhood first started: Alpha Chapter at Syracuse University.

New York and bagels are inextricably linked, which inspired Alpha Chapter’s ancillary philanthropy event, G-Phi Bagels. As well as Moonball, Alpha Chapter sisters host G-Phi Bagels annually to raise funds for Girls on the Run (GOTR). This past fall, the chapter’s facility turned into a bustling pop-up bagel

shop for students on campus. G-Phi Bagels triumphed, raising a commendable $700 for GOTR Upstate New York.

Reflecting on the success, Lilly Coleman, a junior at Syracuse, shared, “It was so great to have the entire chapter at the house for bagels. We raised a lot of money for Girls on the Run, which was so great to see. And the line to place orders was all the way to the other side of the street!”
