On February 15th, the Cook Chapter came out in force to support Rutgers Campus in a University wide blood drive as part of RU Has Heart Week. Twenty members came to the Cook/Douglass Recreation Center and successfully went through screening to be eligible to donate blood. Each pint donated saves the lives of three people.

Also there the Cook Community Alumni Association was present to try and get the student to interact and meet with them. This was a fun event and many potential new members were there.

On the night of February 1st, Cook Chapter planned a recruitment event that would leave everyone in a sugar rush. We made a fire outside the Campus Center and invited anyone who was walking around to come and make a S'more. A lot of people burned their marshmallows and claimed that was the plan all along. It was a great way to promote our name on campus and announce our presence to potential pledges. We gave out a lot of pledge flyers and are hoping to see a great turnout this semester.

For Thanksgiving time, the Agriculture faculty traditionally prepares a dinner for its students and colleges. This year we were asked to prepare a thanks giving dynamic, for which we contacted a deaf student that helped us interpret a song in sign language, giving thanks for all of our blessings.

The Science Agriculture Centenary

Originally posted by Paola Luna

On the 23rd of September, the building Jose T. PIñero was converted into a farmer’s market with free tasting samples of local coffee, corn and mango ice cream. Around the building, we had the different machinery, photographs and equipment used through time. In this activity, students, ex alumni, farmers professors as well as the people of the community celebrated the passing 100 years of the agricultural faculty. In this exciting activity, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) gave the campus their trademark as a gift of appreciation for all the years of collaborative service. We as Alpha Zeta members helped in the organization before, during and after the celebration. Some of the members and students from different organizations had the honor of planting the tree symbolic of the one hundred years of the faculty.
