Thinking About Third Thursdays?

Have you heard about the Third Thursdays?  If you haven’t, then you’re missing out!  If you have, but you haven’t attended, then you don’t know what your missing!  For a number of months now, the Delta Zeta Alumni Association has hosted what is affectionately known as the “Third Thursday” – a time set aside on the third Thursday of each and every month for Alumni (and their spouses / significant others) to get together, have a few drinks, share a few memories, swap a few stories, and basically get out of the house and hang with your Brothers!

September’s Third Thursday is September 19, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. and will be held at Cigar City Brewing, located at 3924 West Spruce Street, Tampa, Florida  33607.  More info can be found at the Facebook page:

Attendance at these gatherings has grown each month, and it’s been a wonderful opportunity for Brothers to catch up with one another and rekindle friendships and brotherhood.  If you have any doubts, just ask some of the Brothers who have attended past Thursdays – David Ebner, Kyllan Purdon, Brian Harff, Craig Dickinson, Josh Cleveland, Brian Spiro, Mark Smith, Bert Lucas, and many others!

If you don’t want to be left out, then get up off the couch next Thursday, September 19th and head on over to Cigar City Brewing for a few hours of fun and fellowship.  And don’t worry – if you can’t make it this month, October’s Third Thursday will be October 25, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. and will be held at Mr. Dunderbak’s, located at 14929 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, Tampa, Florida  33613.

Make plans now and see what you’ve been missing!

Welcome the Newly-Elected Chapter Alpha – Jose Suarez

With the new school year and the new semester comes Delta Zeta’s newest Alpha – congratulations to Jose Suarez on his election to this prestigious position.  Brother Suarez, who is currently a senior at USF, joined Chi Phi in the Spring of 2010 with the Alpha Upsilon pledge class.  His first role in the fraternity was to serve as Social Chair, followed promptly by Beta.

And now, a few words from the Alpha himself:

First and foremost, I want to thank the active chapter for electing me to the position of Alpha. I know it’s a very challenging and rewarding position, so I am excited to take it on. With my time serving as Beta, I learned the internal and external mechanics to the Fraternity in how to make it flow efficiently. When I was elected to Alpha, I knew it was because each of the Brothers saw me as a true leader that wanted nothing but the best from our Brothers. Some of the goals that we have this semester is to have full accreditation with not only USF, but with nationals as well. I am pushing for chapter excellence and initiative from Brothers to want to do more within the community. I also am wanting to be able to effectively recruit and retain individuals who want to be a part of our Brotherhood. I feel that I have the motivation and the skill set to get us to where we need to be, and that we would be able to even go as far as to exceed those expectations.

Fraternally,
Jose Suarez

Take a moment and give Brother Suarez a word of encouragement in his new role within the Fraternity, and let’s watch him take the Delta Zeta Chapter at USF to even greater heights and success!
