NC Dines at Sammy's

Originally posted by Ashley J. Kirby

The North Carolina Chapter loves to eat!  The social committee organized a group dinner at Sammy’s Grill at 6:15 on Wednesday April 3rd. Twenty-four brothers came for delicious dinner.  We were able to relax and enjoy a break from studying before our regular meeting. There were so many of us eating that we were almost late for the meeting. It is great for brothers to have a chance to catch up during a busy semester.

Rock Climbing

Rock Climbing

Over the course of the semester,  some brothers have been interested in more daring activities while others are trying to overcome their fears.  One activity that a lot of members have been participating in over the semester is rock climbing, whether they are seasoned climbers or beginners.  The brothers have been bonding with the new member class - building new friendships while having a great time.  On April 1st, one of the new members went rock climbing for the very first time on her birthday, and discovered that she actually really enjoys rock climbing.  It was a great way to spend her birthday, especially since she was able to continue to bond with her big, other brothers and new members.

The Olympics have Come to Cook Chapter

The Olympics have Come to Cook Chapter

Originally posted by Aubrey B. Weibel

On March 10th the Cook Chapter held our Big/Little Olympics. This event is specially designed to strengthen bonds between big and little pairs. We played partner games including dodgeball, ninja, tanks, and a pasta race where participants had to fill an entire cup with macaroni without using their hands. These team building games help bigs and littles get to know each other while having lots of fun. Teams also dress up according to a theme. This year's theme was animals, so we had several very creative team costumes including pigs, cats and bats!

Rebounderz!

Pictured below are several of our brothers at Rebounderz for a brotherhood event on March 14th to de-stress. Most of the activities every semester are centered around the pledges, so the brother like to get together once in a while and do something fun just for us, to reconnect to the members already in our brotherhood. Rebounderz is an indoor trampoline arena in the area where people can go to play on their numerous trampolines and in the foam pit. On Thursday nights Rebounderz holds college nights with discounted admission and activities for students.

Every year, as a rush event, Cook Chapter hosts a mixer for potential new members to come out and learn more about the fraternity and meets the brothers. Over the past few semesters, we have started hosting a midsemester mixer as well, that gives the new members yet another opportunity to get to know the brothers in a slightly less formal and intimidating setting. This mixer is filled with fun games that bigs, littles, and the entire brotherhood get to enjoy...

Reconnecting with our Alumni

Reconnecting with our Alumni

Originally posted by Aubrey B. Weibel

Alumni Event has become a tradition at Alpha Zeta's Cook Chapter. We respect our alumni and are honored that they take time out of their lives to meet the new members and reconnect with brothers every semester over a delicious meal. This semester, Alumni Event was held at the East Grand Buffet on March 9, 2013 from 4pm-7pm. 30 or so alumni and about 50 brothers attended the event. We even saw a few older alumni come back that had lost touch with the chapter for several years. It was a wonderful evening filled with funny stories being told about the "good old days" and many of the new members left the event with a feeling of family and home...

The Florida Chapter has a Whale of a Time at SeaWorld

Originally posted by Jacquelyn E. Neal

On Saturday, March 30, 2013, members, alumni, and friends of the members of the Florida Chapter arrived at SeaWorld in Orlando bright and early for a behind-the-scenes tour. We got to see quarantined manatees and turtles, many of which were being treated for cold stress, and a pilot whale named 300 that is being rehabbed after developing scoliosis. We also got to see some of the transport vehicles used in rescuing animals throughout Florida and the labs where SeaWorld monitors water quality and processes animal blood samples.

Last Thursday, on March 28th, 2013, members of the Florida Chapter attended a Fiesta-themed potluck dinner thrown by the pledges. Not only were the tacos and nachos delicious, but the pledges also got to meet their bigs! The pledges found their bigs by participating in an egg hunt around the northeast corner of campus. Everyone had lots of fun, and the pledges and members were excited to get to know each other!

The activity of kayaking is one of the most extreme sports and more memorable. But when kayak at night and in a bay with bio-luminescence is a great activity. In the bay could be seen as organisms called "dinoflagellates" create their own light in the sea...
