The DZAA raised over $1,300 in the 2nd Annual USF-Chi Phi Scholarship Scramble!

The DZAA saw its highest-ever dues-paying members this year thanks to the Scarlet vs. Blue Dues Challenge, which was won by Team Blue (and for which we are still waiting to see Brothers Ebner and Suarez do their Cross-Fit Challenge)!

The DZAA saw Delta Zeta on the cover, once again, of the Spring issue of The Chakett!

Delta Zeta ActivesThe DZAA cheered as the Delta Zeta Chapter took first place in Chi Omega’s “Spike It Up” fundraiser!

And the DZAA watched as the Delta Zeta Chapter inducted new members into Chi Phi, took an accomplished second place in the Chi-O Rodeo, and shared an exciting “Murder Mystery” social with Chi Omega and Sigma Pi.

Clearly, 2014 has been a busy, productive, and successful year, and we are looking forward to an even more exciting year as we continue to build better men in 2015!
