Chapter News Extra! Homecoming Extravaganza

Homecoming Week wasn’t just a big event for the Alumni Association, what with the Fall Meeting, Tailgating, and Golf Tournament – it was also a winning week for the Chapter as well.  And win they did!  The Delta Zeta Chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity teamed up with the ladies of Chi Omega and the gentlemen of Delta Chi to compete in the numerous Homecoming events.  Not only did they take 6 of the 8 First Place sashes (CharitaBull, Blood Drive, Shriner’s Tabs, Green and Gold Rush, Color the Campus, and Overall), but the Chapter also took home the First Place Trophy for Homecoming 2013!

In addition to these great successes, the Chapter’s current Alpha, Jose Suarez, made it to the final round of the RedBull Play & Destroy competition, where students went head to head in an iPod battle.  The student DJs were given a category and had to play the beset 30 seconds of a song to win the crowd over.  Brother Suarez went up against a member of Sigma Chi, turning the tournament into a battle between fraternities.  At the end of the night, Chi Phi’s very own was declared to be the winner and named the top RedBull DJ of Tampa Bay!

Turns out that both the Alumni and the Actives had a successful Homecoming Week – so snaps to all of the Delta Zeta Brothers!

Social News – Final Friday is Coming!

Okay, so it’s not quite Third Thursday – but with the Fall Alumni Meeting coming up this Friday, October’s Third Thursday was changed to a Final Friday!  554583_10150892980638696_365520751_nRight after the meeting (which begins at 7:00 p.m. in Room 2707 of the Marshall Center on Friday, October 25th, for those who may have missed the announcements!), the Alumni will be heading over to Mr. Dunderbak’s for the October Alumni Happy Hour!  Mr. Dunderbak’s is located at 14929 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, Tampa, Florida.  Fellow Alumni who have attended Third Thursdays in the past can attest to all the good times and great fellowship had by all who attend!  So don’t miss out, come join us for the meeting and the Happy Hour afterwards.

And lest anyone forget, the very next day (Saturday, October 26th), the DZAA will be holding a Tailgate at Raymond James Stadium in preparation for the 59630_10101754498462861_1335077271_ngame against the 8th ranked Louisville Cardinals. More details about the exact time and location will follow.  The current plan, however, is to have a spread in the “Mall Parking Lot”. We know this is not where most season ticket holders park, but it will afford us the most space. The lot entrance is on MLK BLVD just East of Himes, right behind the new Panera Bread on MLK. The cost for parking is $15. If you have a parking pass in another lot, feel free to wander over and join us. We will have an assortment of breakfast foods, but of course, feel free to bring something! You can FB message Brother Kyllan Purdon or Brother David Ebnder the day of to find out exactly where everyone will be!

In the News – Chip Woodard and More!

One unchanging fact in this life is that no matter how hard we try, we all get 1395162_10151749320951848_1599654904_nolder.  Even those of us in the Chi Phi Fraternity.  But getting older doesn’t mean we don’t celebrate, and celebrate the DZAA did on Saturday, October 12, 2013 in honor of Brother Chip Woodard’s 45th birthday!  Some of the gang, including Brian Harff and Jeff West, got together at Duke’s Retired Surfer’s Island Bar (which was NOT a reflection of the age thing, by the way!) in Tampa to wish Brother Woodard well, share a few drinks, and swap a few stories.

If you’ve got news or an announcement, please let us know so that we can post it here and all of your Brothers can share in it!
