On Friday, February 8th, brothers of the North Carolina Chapter traveled to Chatham Hill Winery for a tour. Chatham Hill, established in 1999, was the first winery in the Triangle of North Carolina, and the first Urban Winery in all of North Carolina. The goal of this winery is to produce delicious wine using grapes from the Yadkin Valley with traditional winemaking techniques. Many of these wines are very dry, but if you are looking for something sweeter, the fruit infused Sweet Carolina wines may be for you!

This tour was a great way for our brothers to spend time together and learn about a pivotal business in the winemaking industry in this part of the state. A big thank you to Brother Kristina Britt for organizing this great opportunity!

Nothing says Alpha Zeta Cornell quite like this picture does!

Anthony Arce and a team of AZ Cornell members really got in the giving spirit this Homecoming!

Horticulturalist Isabella Yanuzzi outdid herself this growing season as she raked in the goods this past fall. 

Our very own senior and Social Chair Stephanie Bishop, along with her team of social committee helpers, awed us once again with incredible event-planning skills.

The Saturday before the last week of classes, the North Carolina Chapter had a Christmas Social to celebrate all of the work we did throughout the semester and to kick off the holidays. 

Before the Brotherhood began to worry about finals, Censor Savannah Clark wanted to have some fun my having an Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest!

On the weekend of November 16-18th, the North Carolina Chapter traveled to the mountains to learn about Western North Carolina Agriculture! Over the course of the weekend, Brothers toured a total of 6 farms: Brother Starnes, Chancellor Wilson, and Chronicler Worleyʼs family farms, Warren Wilson College farm, the North Carolina Mountain Research Station, and Snow Creek Christmas Trees Farm.

 

On Wednesday, October 31st, Censor Clark held a costume contest at our chapter meeting! Costumes ranged from a party animal, to Rosie the Riveter, to characters off of TV shows. Though all costumes looked amazing, there had to be a winner. The chosen costume was Treasurer Wellons as “Spooky Michael” from the office, who won a large bag of candy! This fun activity allowed our brotherhood to relax a little bit during the work heavy part of the semester. We are very thankful we were able to bond and celebrate the spooky season. We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
