Neal Hosper, Monmouth ’16, created the Illinois Gamma RLC’s Adventure Series as a way of sharing his love for the outdoors. The series consists of outdoor educational experiences, including camping, backpacking, rock climbing, trap shooting and gun safety.
This spring, Hosper, who is certified in openwater diving, began running members through a crash course in scuba skills. The hands-on technical training included time in the pool
with full scuba gear. To ensure the whole chapter could participate, Hosper returned each month with groups of 4-6 brothers.
An Eagle Scout and aircraft mechanic in the U.S. Air National Guard, Hosper has spent his school holidays participating in the same events he’s made available to brothers through the Adventure Series. “I hope it will continue when I graduate this year, but if not, I will come back on weekends and help them do as many events as possible,” he said.
