DZAA Gives Back

The Delta Zeta Alumni Association is built upon a foundation of service. Our members give their support in the service of bettering our association, chapter and national fraternity. Every minute that an alumnus spends planning, executing and attending a Third Thursday, the USF Chi Phi Scholarship Scramble, or the upcoming Founders Weekend events is a minute of service to his fellow Brothers.

 

But this calling to service extends far beyond the DZAA for many Alumni, so as part of its ongoing effort to better the Tampa community, the DZAA teamed up with Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay once again last weekend. Various Alumni assisted in painting a house for a young family in the Tampa Heights neighborhood. The family consisted of a hard-working single mother who had neither the time, nor the money to beautify her home, so Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay solicited help form  he Mosaic Company of FishHawk and the DZAA. Along with the new paint, she received new flooring, a new roof, and renovations to her porch.

NEEDED – Blasts from the Past

Okay, Alumni, we’re calling on you.  Whether you graduated 15 years ago, 5 years ago, or 1 year ago – we know you’ve got photographs of all the fantastic memories you made while an Active Brother of the Delta Zeta Chapter.  Now it’s time to share some of those memories.

 Young Once

At the 30th Anniversary Banquet, set to take place on Saturday, April 12, 2014 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (and if you haven’t already bought your tickets, you’d better hurry up!  Time’s running out, and so are the tickets!), the Delta Zeta Alumni Association will be sharing a special slideshow presentation, flashing back through the past 30 years of Delta Zeta’s rich history.

From the founding members to the most recent new members, this is going to be a special trip down memory lane that you can have a part in making.  We are asking each and every one of you to share at least one (if not more!) photographs to include in the slideshow.

The Past

Please contact Brother Todd Latoski, either via Facebook or by e-mail, to provide your photographs to be included.  Make sure with each photograph, you include the year, the event, and the names of each Brother in the photograph – from the most elegant formals to the most outrageous parties, don’t be shy!  The more photographs you share, the more memories the Alumni will have a change to reminisce about at the Banquet.

It’s been 30 years of Delta Zeta greatness – so let’s see what memories you’ve got to share!

National News – Third Annual March Mania Kicks Off!

As every true sports fan knows, basketball teams from colleges and universities all over the country vie to be one of the 68 programs selected to participate in the NCAA Tournament each year.  They work hard for those bragging rights, to carve their legacy in NCAA history, and to honor their schools.

Chi Phi offers that same opportunity with the Chi Phi March Mania Challenge.  The Challenge is all about bragging rights, honoring your Chapter, continuing your legacy, and providing for the next generation.  While 68 best basketball teams in the country complet for the national championship, Chi Phi needs your help to raise $68,000 to support your Chapter and Chi Phi Scholarships.

For this challenge, you don’t need to be a sports superstar to help your Chapter score points.  Every dollar you pledge to the Chi Phi Educational Trust before April 7, 2014 will score one point for your Chapter.  By making a pledge of any amount, you will score points to help your Chapter claim victory.  More importantly, you’ll provide scholarships for Chi Phi Brothers and educational programs for your Chapter.

 March Mania

Each Chi Phi Chapter has been bracketed and is poised for glory!  Winning Chapters will receive a trophy, be featured in the Chakett, and will be highlighted on the Chi Phi National website.

For those of you who participated last year, snaps to you – as Delta Zeta took home the award for the Most Alumni Participating!  Let’s see if we can’t work together to once again earn recognition for the Delta Zeta Alumni Association in 2014!
