Delta Zeta Stays Active!

For those that may have missed it, it definitely bears repeating.  With the new year of college starting up, it’s refreshing to know that the active chapter is still going strong.  Not only did the Chapter pass the accreditation program with the National Office, but they were ranked in the top 10%!  Below is the report from the Chapter Alpha, Brother Ryan Kirchoffer:

Alumni,

On behalf of the active chapter I wanted to take a moment to affirm to you the strength of our chapter. At the National Congress in Baltimore this Summer we received the score from our accreditation report. (For those of you who might not be aware with the program, the accreditation program is relatively new and measures the strength of a chapter in various subjects in order to get a broader sense of how well the chapter operates.) We are proud to inform you that not only did we pass, and are accredited for the second semester in a row, but we passed with flying colors. We are currently accredited with distinction meaning we were in the top 10% for our overall accreditation score. We received the fifth highest score out of the over 50 chapters that submitted. I wanted to let you know that the chapter is stronger than it has ever been and will continue to improve in the coming semesters.

Fraternally,
Ryan Kirchoffer

DZAA - Active Chapter

It’s great to see the Chapter is thriving, but it isn’t always an easy task.  We were in their shoes not that long ago (relatively speaking!), so let’s give them all the support we can for continued growth and success!
