Chaise Ballotti, Michael Blanco, Nathan Drass, Jake Heintz, Nick Julian, Ben Katz, Blaise Levai, and Raymond Vedros – what does these eight young men have in common?  They are the newest members to be inducted into the Delta Zeta Chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity!

It all happened on Wednesday evening, September 11, 2013.  Delta Zeta gathered with the other Fraternities in the amphitheater right outside of the Marshall Student Center on the USF campus, and each individual new member was called one at a time.  At the end of the event, each Fraternity did their chants, and Delta Zeta took their new members to Applebee’s to celebrate.

After a short celebration, the Brothers chose to perform the induction ceremony with the new gentlemen just two hours after the bid rally, right in the Marshall Student Center ballroom.  As it is an open ritual event, the DZ Brothers had the luxury of having ladies from Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega, and Sigma Delta Tau sororities join them for the ceremony.

Overall, the bid rally, celebration, and induction ceremony were extremely successful as Delta Zeta welcomed eight new members into the Fraternity.  All eight young men are very excited to be a part of our amazing organization, and they are preparing themselves for what lies ahead!
