On Friday evening, January 17^th, the Brothers of Delta Zeta capped off their 2014 Spring Rush Week with a Traditions Dinner held at Acropolis in Ybor City.  After a successful week of meeting young men from all walks of college life, the Chapter gave out invitations to those who showed the most promise.   Seven men joined a number of the Brothers at Acropolis restaurant on Friday night, along with Alumni Brothers David Ebner and Todd Latoski, for a very fun and definitely unique dinner event!

With a taste of various Greek dishes, the Delta Zeta Chapter and Alumni got to better know the potential new members – from a freshman who moved here from India to attend school, to a junior who came up from Miami to study criminology, to a young man who is finishing his degree in the medical field with the hopes of becoming a hospital lab technician.  As always with Chi Phi, the standards are high, and these seven diverse young men certain show they are striving for great things.

One thing that set this Traditions Dinner apart from previous dinners was the highlight of the evening for these guys – the opportunity to strut their stuff and show off their belly-dancing skills!  That’s right!  Acropolis’ own belly-dancer came upstairs and lured the Brothers (and even the Alumni!) into taking a shot at dancing.  Some were good, some were bad, some were downright hysterical – but all were in good fun, making the night a definite night to remember!

Now the Chapter will make the decision of whom to send out bids and who will actually be the next new members of the Delta Zeta Chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity at USF, and soon enough, we will be welcoming new Brothers into the fold!
