It’s less than a week away, as both the Alumni and the Actives gear up for that annual Scarlet vs. Blue / Active vs. Alumni softball game on Sunday, April 13, 2014. Immediately after the softball game, the Actives will host a picnic or all in attendance. And, the fundraiser everyone’s been waiting for will finally take place:
RENT-A-CHI is here!
As has been previously announced, RENT-A-CHI is a fundraiser unlike any other. This is Delta Zeta Alumni Association’s auction of its own. Instead of works of art, family heirlooms, or other prized possessions, the DZAA will be auctioning off Delta Zeta Brothers! RENT-A-CHI is an opportunity for you to bid on, and win, a Delta Zeta Brother for an afternoon.
There will be ten (10) Brothers – a mix of both Active and Alumni, new and old – up for auction, ready to do whatever task you may put before them.
Brother David Ebner –Alumni
Brother Philip Gilroy – Active
Brother Kyllan Purdon – Alumni
Brother Miles C. White – Active
Brother Todd Latoski –Alumni
Brother Blaise Levai – Active
Brother Clinton Millsap – Alumni
Brother Benjamin Katz – Active
Brother Nathan Drass – Active
Brother Sean Patrick McHugh – Active
The auction will be open to any and all in attendance – Alumni, Active Brothers, spouses, significant others, family, friends –anyone who wants to bid (doesn’t matter whether you are a Chi Phi Active Brother, Alumni, a 
spouse/significant other, a Sorority Sister, a parent, etc.) 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. While we do ask that payment for the auction be made at the picnic, we are making it convenient for everyone by accepting cash, check, or debit/credit cards. Starting bids for each of the Chi to be auctioned will be $20, to increase at a rate and amount to be determined by you, as the bidders!
– GUIDELINES for the actual services being performed by the Chi (but not limited to):
– any physical labor within the means of the individual
– any mental labor within the means of the individual
– no embarrassing requirements
(i.e. clean house in underwear, wash car in a tutu, wear make-up to grocery)
– nothing that would endanger a Chi’s life
(i.e. clean out a snake’s nest , climb cell tower to find a bird’s nest, etc.)
– nothing that requires a Chi to pay money
(i.e. buy me lunch, take me to a movie, fill my car up with gas, etc.)
– no more than 8 hours of time to be required
(if the Chi and the winning bidder agree between the two for a longer time, that is between them)
EXAMPLES of acceptable services (but not limited to):
– bathe my dog
– organize my garage
– re-arrange my living room
– wash my car
– help me research a paper
– fix / clean up my computer
– mow my lawn / landscape my yard
– attend CrossFit with me
– kick back and watch a sporting event
And take note – every cent raised in this fundraiser will go directly into the Delta Zeta Housing Fund! 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!
For those Alumni who attended the annual Scarlet vs Blue softball game last month, you no doubt remember that during the picnic afterwards, we hosted the first ever Rent-A-Chi Fundraiser as a means to raise money for the Housing Fund. It’s been a month now, and so the question has been raised – what did your Chi do for you?
stories of what you had your Chi do for you – and share pictures too, so that we can post them on the website for all of the Alumni to see! All monies raised by the auction went directly into the Housing Fund, and in order to gauge its true success, we need to hear from you!
