You’ve been hearing the rumblings – the DZAA is putting on a fundraiser to help raise money for the Delta Zeta Housing Fund.

You’ve seen the recent website post – RENT-A-CHI is coming!

Now you’ll get the facts!  RENT-A-CHI is a fundraiser unlike any other.  On Sunday, April 13th, following the annual Scarlet vs Blue Classic softball game, the Delta Zeta Alumni Association will be holding an auction.  But this is not your normal auction.  Instead of works of art, family heirlooms, or other prized possessions, the DZAA will be auctioning off Delta Zeta Brothers!  Yes, you read that right.  RENT-A-CHI is an opportunity for you to bid on, and win, a Delta Zeta Brother for an afternoon.

Members of the Association exec board, including Brothers David Ebner, Kyllan Purdon, Todd Latoski, and Clinton Millsap, along with some of the Active Brothers, will be auctioning themselves up to help increase the amount currently in the DZ Housing Fund.  auction-hammerWith your winning bid, you could have Brother Purdon washing your dog and car … or Brother Millsap setting up all those programs you’ve been wanting to add to your computer … or Brother Latoski organizing and cleaning up your garage … or Brother Ebner taking that CrossFit class with you.  Whatever you need done (within the physical and mental means of the Chi for whom you have the winning bid), the Brothers of Delta Zeta are ready and willing to take on!

The auction will be open to any and all in attendance – Alumni, Active Brothers, spouses, significant others, family, friends – anyone who wants to bid is more to welcome!  So, while we are enjoying the annual picnic after the softball game this year, we’ll also be raising money to finally purchase a Chi Phi House.

More details, including a full list of Brothers to be auctioned, as well as full rules and guidelines, will be coming soon!  Mark your calendars for April 13th and start saving that spare change now – this is one auction you won’t want to miss out on!

Fundraiser Info – The Chi Phi Educational Trust

As many of you know (and some of you may not), each year, the Chi Phi Educational Trust provides financial support to the scholarship, educational and values-based leadership programs that impact Chi Phi students, chapters and the general public.  Our recent Golf Tournament raised funds to support the Chi Phi Educational Trust, and the Second Annual USF-Chi Phi Golf Scramble to be held in the Fall of 2014 will continue to support this fund.

The declared purposes of the Trust are:

  1. To assist and supplement the work of universities, colleges and schools in the promotion of the scholarship and development of the character and morality of students;
  2. To provide improved educational facilities, opportunities and conveniences for students; (c) To make donations and/or loan money to universities, colleges and schools;
  3. To assist needy and deserving students to complete their education;
  4. To aid aged or disabled former students who are in need and are worthy of assistance;
  5. To expend money for any other educational and/or charitable purpose not inconsistent with any of the foregoing specific purposes.

In 1933, the IRS recognized the Chi Phi Educational Trust as a 501(c)(3) educational foundation.  Since then, thanks to the support of thousands of alumni, parents, undergraduates, friends and corporate partners, the Trust has become a vital part of the success of Chi Phi.

Delta Zeta currently has in its Educational Trust fund a total of $8,461.17.   In 2013, the following people and companies helped to increase the funds in our Trust to that amount:

$105.00    B. Callaway
$100.71    David Ebner
$  25.00    Philip Gilroy
$  50.00    Todd Latoski
$100.00    Clinton Millsap
$105.00    David Millsap
$  50.00    Publix Supermarket
$472.50    Pyro Display
$225.00    James Ulseth
$294.00    Weller Enterprises
$241.57    Chip Woodward

The Delta Zeta Alumni Association would like to personally thank each and every one of our Brothers for their donations, and for those companies who gave of their resources to support this worthwhile fund.  If you’ve never given to support this cause, or if it’s been a long time since you have, we hope you’ll consider this when thinking about what donations you will be making in 2014 – your donation could go a long way to helping a fellow Brother complete his education!

Fundraising News – Rent-A-Chi

As previously mentioned, the DZAA is looking in 2014 to begin increasing the housing fund, with the ultimate goal of helping purchase a Chi Phi house for the Chapter.  To help get the ball rolling, the DZAA will be hosting a fundraiser this year unlike any other.

Do you have an unfinished project around the house?  Do you wish someone would haul off that junk in the back yard?  Do you dream of a day of rest, with someone to fetch your slippers, change the tv channel, and bring you a nice cold brew?  Does your car need washing…your lawn need mowing…your house need dusting?  Do you have a list of things you’ve been putting off because – well, quite frankly, you just didn’t want to do them?

What if we told you there’s a way to not only help the DZAA increase the amount of its housing fund, but to also check off items on that to do list at the same time?
