From Colony to Chapter: ZBT
Fall of sophomore year I was introduced to Zeta Beta Tau fraternity. The national representative from the fraternity, Lawrence, was on our campus immediately after school went into session and he stayed throughout the activities fair and other events on campus. I never thought that I would have joined a fraternity, but truly this has been a rewarding experience. Building a fraternity from scratch is no easy task. As a sophomore, with a majority of freshman men, we struggled in various areas including leadership, brotherhood, finances, etc. However, as of 5:12pm today we can call ourselves an official ZBT Chapter.
The expressions, text messages, phone calls, and overwhelming positive attitudes and level of charisma from the brothers and I was phenomenal. The text I received from John Colon, our Chapter President, ” My Bros., @ 5:12pm today David Saks, the new ZBT Associative Director called me personally telling us that our Charter was officially granted!” We had found out on Tuesday unofficially, but today it was officially. We have made so many long strides and efforts this year that this was remarkable. Our campus advisor, Paul Turner, has been very supportive to the fraternity throughout the year. He is a constant vide of positivity and can be seen grilling at our tailgates or any time we have a BBQ.
It’s great to be a ZBT!
