Fundraising News – Get Ready For RENT-A-CHI

You’ve been hearing the rumblings – the DZAA is putting on a fundraiser to help raise money for the Delta Zeta Housing Fund.

You’ve seen the recent website post – RENT-A-CHI is coming!

Now you’ll get the facts!  RENT-A-CHI is a fundraiser unlike any other.  On Sunday, April 13th, following the annual Scarlet vs Blue Classic softball game, the Delta Zeta Alumni Association will be holding an auction.  But this is not your normal auction.  Instead of works of art, family heirlooms, or other prized possessions, the DZAA will be auctioning off Delta Zeta Brothers!  Yes, you read that right.  RENT-A-CHI is an opportunity for you to bid on, and win, a Delta Zeta Brother for an afternoon.

Members of the Association exec board, including Brothers David Ebner, Kyllan Purdon, Todd Latoski, and Clinton Millsap, along with some of the Active Brothers, will be auctioning themselves up to help increase the amount currently in the DZ Housing Fund.  auction-hammerWith your winning bid, you could have Brother Purdon washing your dog and car … or Brother Millsap setting up all those programs you’ve been wanting to add to your computer … or Brother Latoski organizing and cleaning up your garage … or Brother Ebner taking that CrossFit class with you.  Whatever you need done (within the physical and mental means of the Chi for whom you have the winning bid), the Brothers of Delta Zeta are ready and willing to take on!

The auction will be open to any and all in attendance – Alumni, Active Brothers, spouses, significant others, family, friends – anyone who wants to bid is more to welcome!  So, while we are enjoying the annual picnic after the softball game this year, we’ll also be raising money to finally purchase a Chi Phi House.

More details, including a full list of Brothers to be auctioned, as well as full rules and guidelines, will be coming soon!  Mark your calendars for April 13th and start saving that spare change now – this is one auction you won’t want to miss out on!

Social News – It’s Third Thursday Time!

It’s that time again!  Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, then you know that on the Third Thursday of every month, the Brothers of the Delta Zeta Alumni Association get together to celebrate life, reminisce about the old days, share some good times, and have a drink or two.  And this Thursday, February 20th is no exception.
