Remembering Chi Phi’s Shared Core Values

Chi Phi was founded on the basis of Truth, Honor, and Personal Integrity. These are timeless values, which guide the fundamental purposes of the fraternity.

As with all dynamic organizations, there is a need to maintain relevancy in the lives of our members and society in general. To that end, Chi Phi has renewed its commitment to the founding values expressed in our ritual: Truth, Honor, & Personal Integrity.

At the same time, Chi Phi has begun to explore a modern set of evolving core values, which can be used to guide our daily activities and functions. These core values offer contemporary definitions of the values that drive Chi Phi.

Friendship
We will engage in mutually enriching relationships.

Respect
We will respect each other, the fraternity, society, and ourselves.

Honesty
We will interact in an open and truthful way.

Responsibility
We will fulfill our moral expectations as individuals and as a group.

Commitment
We will accomplish more than what is expected of us.

Personal Development
We will build better men, better leaders, and better citizens.

 

Dues Are Due!

As many of you may recall (and some of you may not know!), effective July 1st, the amount of dues to stay an active member of the DZAA became due.  Previously, the cost of annual dues was only $25 per year, which amount has not changed in a long time – however, with the increased number of activities now being offered throughout the year, as well as the additional benefits (such as t-shirts provided to all paid members for the annual Scarlet vs Blue softball game), it was determined that the best way to maximize the Association’s ability to continue offering activities and benefits to the Alumni at no charge or discounted rates was to increase the cost of annual dues. Thus, with the 2014-15 fiscal year, the annual dues for each member is $50, which became due one July 1, 2014.

 MembershipRenewal

Alumni are encouraged to stay current and pay their 2014-15 dues as soon as possible. With the increased membership dues comes more benefits and activities that the Alumni can look forward to!

For more information about the annual dues, how to pay, and where to send payment, contact our DZAA Treasurer, Ryan Suarez, at dzaa1983@gmail.com
