Where Are They Now? Remember when…

Remember the days when you were still an Active Brother?  Remember getting together with your Brothers, hanging out, having a great time?  Those years spent in Delta Zeta while on the USF Campus may have been busy, trying to balance time between studying, working, dating, and having fun – but let’s face it – the days spent with your Brothers in Chi Phi were some very memorable times!

Looking at these photos, it may seem like those days were a lifetime ago.  In fact, looking at some of these photos, we may be left to wonder – whatever happened to…?

Just because we are out of school, just because we are out in “the real world,” so to speak, doesn’t mean those Chi Phi days are over!  That’s why the Alumni Association is here.  To solidify that Brotherhood.  To keep us in touch.  And to remind us what it’s like to have Brothers who will always be there for you.

Don’t forget the good ol’ days – because so long as the DZAA is around, those days – and your Brothers – are still here, and we’re looking forward to many more to come!

Chi Phi – The Learning Never Ends!

As Alumni, most of you know that just because you graduated college, that doesn’t mean your learning ends!  For some, it’s straight into the work force.  For others, it’s a bit of traveling and “sowing your wild oats” before settling down into a full-time career.  And for others, there’s graduate school and more.  Regardless of the path you chose after graduation, one thing things remains true – you’re still learning!

But getting that additional education isn’t always inexpensive.  Juggling a family, a home, and a career can sometimes leave little time (and little money!) available to go back to school for that graduate degree.  Did you know that Chi Phi can help with that?  Chi Phi’s Educational Trust awards $100,000 in academic and member development scholarships each and every year, and some of those scholarships are awarded to Alumni who seek to further their education.  Just ask Alumnus, Brother David Ebner, who won a graduate scholarship this year!

scholarships

There are various scholarships available to Chi Phi members, including Graduate Scholarships and the Ramsaur Leadership Award.  All applications for scholarships are reviewed and evaluated by a panel made up strictly of volunteer Alumni.  Once applications are submitted, the Scholarship Committee will match qualified applicants with all available scholarships for which they are eligible.  Scholarships can range in amounts anywhere from $750 all the way up to $2,000!

For more information on the scholarships, eligibility, the review process, and how to apply, go to the National Chi Phi website at http://www.chiphi.org/scholarship.
