Social News – Homecoming is Almost Here!

Homecoming weekend is upon us, and although we face probable defeat on the football field, the DZAA looks forward to a successful Alumni Weekend. We have planned a weekend full of fun and camaraderie for Delta Zetas young and old.

The weekend will kick-off with the bi-annual general meeting of the DZAA at the Marshal Center at 7:00 PM on Friday, October 25th. The meeting will include reports from various DZAA Officers, a vote on the 2014 Budget and By-Laws Updates and the Alumni Instillation Ceremony to be performed for recent graduates.

At 8:00 PM (or when the meeting closes) we will head over to Mr. Dunderbak’s for an Alumni Happy Hour!

The following day, Saturday, October 26th, we will be holding a Tailgate at Raymond James Stadium in preparation for the game against the 8th ranked Louisville Cardinals. The time for the game and the tailgate is TBD. We will update you when more information is available.

The finale for the weekend will be the first ever USF Chi Phi Scholarship Scramble on Sunday, October 27th at 8:00 AM. All proceeds for this event will be deposited into the Delta Zeta Scholarship Fund which is used to award scholarships annually to the undergraduate members of the Delta Zeta Chapter. To register for the golf outing, you can follow this link. The cost is $280 for a foursome or $75 for an individual registrant.

We hope you will consider joining us for the weekend! You can learn more about all of these events here on the website, as well as on our facebook group.

Tailgating with the DZAA

Football season is upon us, my fellow Alumni, and what better way to enjoy it than to share some games with your Brothers!  Two games have already come and gone – but don’t despair!  You haven’t missed your chance, as there are a number of games still to come!

September 28, 2013 – USF vs. Miami at Raymond James Stadium, Tampa
Come out and join the Alumni in Lot 7 – just look for the Chi Phi flag!
We will have Giant Jenga and Cornhole to play, and there will be a limited amount of food available

October 5, 2013 – USF vs. Cincinnati at Raymond James Stadium, Tampa
Once again, the Alumni will be meeting in Lot 7 – just look for the Chi Phi flag!
Giant Jenga and Cornhole will be there again, along with a limited amount of food

And there are still more games after that, with November 16th and November 23rd at Raymond James Stadium.  More details about the tailgating events can be found under “EVENTS” to the right of the newsfeed.

Come out and support your favorite team – or just come out and hang with your Brothers – either way, it will be a great way to spend the day and a great opportunity to make some new memories with some old friends!

Thinking About Third Thursdays?

Have you heard about the Third Thursdays?  If you haven’t, then you’re missing out!  If you have, but you haven’t attended, then you don’t know what your missing!  For a number of months now, the Delta Zeta Alumni Association has hosted what is affectionately known as the “Third Thursday” – a time set aside on the third Thursday of each and every month for Alumni (and their spouses / significant others) to get together, have a few drinks, share a few memories, swap a few stories, and basically get out of the house and hang with your Brothers!

September’s Third Thursday is September 19, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. and will be held at Cigar City Brewing, located at 3924 West Spruce Street, Tampa, Florida  33607.  More info can be found at the Facebook page:

Attendance at these gatherings has grown each month, and it’s been a wonderful opportunity for Brothers to catch up with one another and rekindle friendships and brotherhood.  If you have any doubts, just ask some of the Brothers who have attended past Thursdays – David Ebner, Kyllan Purdon, Brian Harff, Craig Dickinson, Josh Cleveland, Brian Spiro, Mark Smith, Bert Lucas, and many others!

If you don’t want to be left out, then get up off the couch next Thursday, September 19th and head on over to Cigar City Brewing for a few hours of fun and fellowship.  And don’t worry – if you can’t make it this month, October’s Third Thursday will be October 25, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. and will be held at Mr. Dunderbak’s, located at 14929 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, Tampa, Florida  33613.

Make plans now and see what you’ve been missing!
