Are You Ready for Rush?

With a new year comes a new semester at USF – and as well all know, that means Rush Week is nearly upon us. This semester, the Actives in the Delta Zeta Chapter are looking to increase their presence on campus and recruit new members with significant academic achievement.

The Brothers in the Active Chapter realize that having a larger Chapter can open more doors for everyone, as it will increase the amount of networking and leadership opportunities now, as well as in the future. (And, in case we forget, more new members = more Alumni!)

The Actives have designed a whole new look for their Spring 2015 rush shirt; and this year, due to interest from sororities, parents, and Alumni, the Chapter has decided to sell rush shirts for $10 each. The money collected from the sales of the shirts will be put to use during Rush Week and future Chapter activities.

Rush Week begins January 19th with the IFC Open House, and continues through the 20th, 21st, and 22nd, with a number of activities planned. The Alumni are encouraged to be involved and help out. For those who can attend and are interested in helping, you are encouraged to contact the Recruitment Chair, Alex Watts.

We are all looking forward to the Chapter having a successful 2015 Spring Rush Week!

The Alumni Directory is Coming!

In case you may have forgotten, we are still hard at work on the DZAA Alumni Directory. Plans are in place to have the directory completed by the Spring Bi-Annual Meeting of the Delta Zeta Alumni Association.

In the coming weeks, we will be reaching out to you to confirm what information we already have and to ask that you provide us with any information we may be missing.

The Directory will be a single source for our Alumni to be able to locate and reach out to our Brothers within the DZAA, providing you with the names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, and professions of our distinguished Alumni. The next time you need an accountant … or an attorney … or a computer technician … or just a Brother that you haven’t seen or spoken with in a while, the DZAA Alumni Directory is going to be your new source!

The Directory will only be provided to our Alumni, and once the “Members Only” section is up and running on the website, the Directory will be made available online as well.

So, don’t ignore those e-mails and messages that you receive in the coming weeks – help us have the most accurate information for this Directory, and you’ll be helping us draw the DZAA closer than it’s ever been!

The Tradition Continues in 2015!

It may be a new year, but the old traditions are still as good as ever – – and that includes the DZAA’s Third Thursdays. Just in case you’ve forgotten, the DZAA hosts its monthly Third Thursday gathering as an opportunity for the Alumni and their spouses, partners, dates, significant others, and guests to get together, socialize, and just have a great time!
