Social News – Secret Santa Gift Exchange

It’s almost time, gentlemen!  This Saturday (December 14th) is the DZAA’s Secret Santa Gift Exchange.  The party will be from 8 pm until 11 pm and will be held at the home of Jon DeJongh.  All Alumni are encouraged to attend, and wives/girlfriends/fiancées/partners/significant others are welcome and invited!

This year’s event is a “drink exchange” – everyone who indicated they would be participating should have already received your Secret Santa name (if you have not, contact Kyllan Purdon immediately).  During the party, the gifts will be exchanged and each Brother will have the opportunity to enjoy a drink from their gift right then and there.  It should certainly make for an entertaining evening.

Remember that this is a holiday bash413A+IbpJ+L__SY300_, so be sure to dress accordingly.  This event will take the place of December’s Third Thursday event.  The regularly scheduled Third Thursdays will resume in January.

We look forward to seeing everyone there, and remember – HAVE A HOLLY, JOLLY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR!

WHAT IS AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION?

At its basic level, an alumni association is a group of former students (graduates) of a particular school or organization. It can serve many purposes – from keeping graduates and former students in contact with another, to providing resources and networking for members in need, to providing social events for its members. For the Chi Phi Fraternity, though, it can be, and is, so much more than that. For Chi Phi, and particularly, for the Delta Zeta Alumni Association, it’s you!

DZAA - Alumni Association

As the Chi Phi national organization’s website states so perfectly, being a member of the Chi Phi Fraternity is a lifetime experience. Once a Chi Phi, always a Chi Phi. Your status as a brother doesn’t end at graduation. It simply evolves. Did you know that the Alumni of Chi Phi constitute approximately 94% of our living members within this fraternity?

The Chi Phi Delta Zeta Alumni Association (DZAA) is here for each and every one of you. DZAA wants to help you reconnect with and renew old friendships, while at the same time, introduce you to Brothers you may have never met. In addition, DZAA wants to provide you with opportunities to socialize and let loose, to reminisce a bit about the good ol’ days while bringing everyone up to date with your life today. Further DZAA offers a chance to give back through community volunteering and scholarship fundraisers.

So remember, DZAA is about you – because without you, there is no DZAA!
