For the past several years, it has been a tradition for the Beta Alpha Psi chapter at Ball State University to have a Christmas party and gift exchange. In the past, the gift exchange has been held at a member's house. This year our advisor, Dr. W.T. Wrege, invited all of the chapter's members to his house for the gift exchange.

All members of our chapter welcomed the event. It took place the Wednesday before finals, when stress levels are really high! It gave us a little break from the study mode we had gotten ourselves into. All of the members attended and each brought some kind of dish. We enjoyed hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill, thanks to our advisor's indoor grill!

Before the Christmas party, each member had drawn another member's name. We all bought little gifts for the person we had drawn. Some of the gifts that were received included calendars, candles, frames, and lots of candy!

The Christmas Gift Exchange tradition is sure to last for several more years as we all really enjoyed ourselves!

The members of Beta Alpha Psi are enjoying opening all of the exciting gifts received.
