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!

Around the Peninsula with Chi Phi – Xi Delta Wins Best Chapter

Xi Delta has Xi Delta Winsbeen moving and shaking this year!  The Chi Phi Chapter at the Florida Institute of Technology made their mark at the 148th Congress this year, when they received the Thomas A. Gehring Award for Best Chapter!  On top of that, Xi Delta was awarded Accreditation with Distinction for Two Consecutive Semesters and the Outstanding Alumni Newsletter Award!  Way to go, Brothers!

On a more serious note, last month, the Brothers of Xi Delta gathered to pay their respects and pay tribute to the memory of past Grand Alpha Brother Richard Lane, who, sadly, was taken from us all too soon this past summer in an automobile accident.   The Chapter and their local Alumni, along with National Director Brother Michael Azarian, came out to show their support.  A memorial plaque for Brother Lane was given to the National Office, and an orange tree was planted on the side of the Xi Delta house in honor of Brother Lane.
