Have You Checked Out The Wine Press?

As you may have guessed by now, one of the biggest goals of the current Executive Board of the DZAA is better communication.  We are striving to make better contact with each and every one of our Alumni Brothers, and part of the way we are doing that is through our Alumni Association newsletter, the Wine Press.

Whether it’s promoting our golfing fundraiser to raise funds for the Chi Phi Educational Trust, reporting on the growth of the Active Chapter, or catching up with some of our fellow Alumni, the Wine Press has been an outreach to the Alumni.  Where else would you have learned that the Alumni won again in the annual Alumni vs. Actives game?  Or that DZAA helped to rebuild Tampa?  Or find out what’s been happening in the lives of fellow Alumni, such as Brian Harff and Cesar Ribot?

Now, with the successful creation of this new website and its regular newsfeed updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the Wine Press is being reinvented to make the most of it.   Each new issue of the Wine Press (the most recent issue having just been e-mailed out this week) will capture some of the biggest newsfeeds from the website, as well as feature some new material specific to the newsletter.  In this way, those who don’t read the website on a regular basis will still have a means to catch up on all the Alumni Association news, and those who do read the website regularly will still have a few new articles to read.  And if you miss an issue, they are all archived right here on our website:

So don’t delete those e-mails – check out the Wine Press…check out the website…and stay informed of the latest news from the Delta Zeta Alumni Association!

Changing Lives with Chi Phi

The day you became a Chi Phi, something changed forever. It started with the bond you formed with your Brothers in college, making memories and forging friendships for a lifetime. But it didn’t end there. Chi Phi changed your life. It set you on your path. With your commitment once again, Chi Phi is working to raise $10 million to create academic success, build better leaders, promote Chapter excellence and preserve our distinction and heritage as the oldest social fraternity in America.

It was recently noted that the video promoting the Chi Phi Changing Lives campaign features glimpses of several Delta Zeta Alumni, including Brother Quincy Banis and Brother Shaun Geary.  You can check out the video here:

You can be a part of something historic – something life-changing – something that will leave a mark on the world long after you’re gone.  For more information, visit the website at:
