| Making ribbons! |
Saturday, March 9th
was our last regular season pep band game for our seniors here at
Boston University. At the game, both the hockey players and the seniors
of the BU Pep Band are honored. The men’s ice hockey team played against
Northeastern and beat them 5-0, a great end to the season. In order to
honor our seniors, Eta Gamma decided to take a new approach. In previous
years we have given the seniors flowers to pin to their uniforms for
their last game.

| The finished product! |
This year, however, the sisters of Eta Gamma decided to
make new Boston University colored ribbons. We used a thicker strip of
red ribbon that was cut in half and glued a thinner white strip on top
of the red ribbon to have BU’s colors of scarlet and white. The ribbon
was then folded and would be pinned to the senior’s uniform. Our service
chair braved Winter Storm Saturn to get the supplies and all the
ribbons were put together in time for Saturday’s game. Amanda Ranttila
held on to the finished ribbons and handed out the ribbons to the
seniors right before the puck dropped. The ribbons pleasantly surprised
the seniors, especially the surprise of receiving them over spring
break. The BU Band got to experience an exciting win on Sunday when the
women’s ice hockey team won hockey east, giving the seniors another
fantastic memory to bring with them after graduation. The seniors of the
BU Band will be greatly missed, including Eva Gach, Laura Brown, Erin
McLean, Emily Anstey, Emily Walsh, and Emily Laughren of Eta Gamma.
