Welcome from our President!

Greetings from Storrs, Connecticut! Since the beginning of my term as the

Chapter President, I have learned many things about myself, the Chapter and

the fraternity experience as a whole. From the Chapter President's Leadership

Academy to working through officer transitions without the Keystone

Regional Leadership Development Conference (due to bad weather

conditions in February), to revamping some of our Chapter policies, it has

been quite a semester. I am extremely glad to announce that we recently

initiated five new members to our Chapter, including: Michael Andrzejewski

ZX 165, Matthew Jones ZX 166, Ryan Cybart 167, Steve Zaremba 168 and Zachary Donais 169.

We plan to return in the Fall semester with roughly 38 active brothers and many exciting new

initiatives.

Currently, our Chapter goals - as set by personal goals from CPLA and Chapter goals from our

Mid-Year Retreat in January - have been to revamp our recruitment process to prepare for 365

dynamic recruitment,to revamp our membership development to combat membership apathy and

to revamp our advisory board and chapter relations in general. With the help of our District Chief

- 2007 Zeta Chi Chapter President Jonathan Ward - we are actively seeking new advisors, setting

term limits and updating responsibilities.

In the next month, the Chapter will be finalizing our application for the Knox Award, appointing

these new advisors and planning out our Fall 2010 semester. If you would be interested in

participating as an advisor, please email our Chapter relations chairman

Oxford Pilgrimage PDF Print E-mail

Zeta Chi recently completed its annual pilgrimage to Oxford Ohio and Miami University, the birthplace of our great and good Fraternity.  The 14+ hour trip was undertaken by 5 cars, captained by Brother Kenneth Knowles, Brother Ruonan Wang, Brother Kurtis Paradis, Brother Jacob Peterson, Brother Patrick Cooper, and Brother Joshua Hudson.  The brothers and pledges arrived over the course of Friday night and spent the following day touring the campus of Miami University.  Stops were made at the Beta Campanile, Wilson Hall and the Alpha Chapter House.  Brothers and pledges alike took time to see in person the historic landmarks of Beta's founding as they had read about in The Son of the Stars. The fall 2009 pledge class was initiated at the administrative office early on Sunday morning, concluding the trip.  Congratulations to the newly initiated brothers!
