Chapter News – Meet the New Members for Spring 2014!

Spring is a time for growth, and following Rush Week back in January, the Chapter is happy to have three new members joining the Delta Zeta Chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity!  Rahul Srinivas, Matthew Deem, and Sean McHugh are three highly esteemed gentlemen who are currently completing their new member education before becoming full-fledged Brothers of the Fraternity.Chi Phi 1 - Rahul

Rahul Srinivas is a Freshman at USF, having graduated in India.  He is majoring in Mechanical Engineering and aspires to make a name for himself in the automobile industry.  Rahul hopes that Chi Phi will help him improve his leadership qualities and that he will learn things from the Fraternity to help make him a better man.

Matthew Deem comes from a family of Greeks, so it was only natural that Chi Phi 1 - Matthewthey encouraged him to seek out a Fraternity when he came to USF.  He maintains a close relationship with his parents and two siblings, and having a strong love for music, often goes to concerts with his brother.  Matthew is very excited about becoming a part of this Brotherhood and looks forward to where it will lead him.

Sean McHugh hails from Houston, Texas, having moved Chi Phi 1 - Seanto Florida just four years ago.  He transferred to USF as a junior last year, and this is his second semester.  Sean’s major is in Medical Technology, and when he’s not studying, he enjoys golfing, fishing, and basically anything outdoors.  He hopes that in Chi Phi he will gain experience in executive positions while forging friendships with his new Brothers.

It’s always exciting to see the Chapter grow, not just in quantity, but with quality – and it’s clear that these three new members definitely fulfill the quality that Chi Phi demands of its men.

Welcome to Chi Phi, gentlemen!
