On Wednesday, January 28th, we held our first meeting of the year. We passed around an information card to get members grad dates, birthdays and favorite memories so that we can begin doing shout outs for members birthdays. We also sent our members on a photo scavenger hunt. They had 10 minutes to take pictures in 4 locations. Even though the winning team was one of the last ones back, they were the only group to follow directions! Great job team!

New Member Education Week is a challenging week for the candidates.  They work together to prove they should be a part of our fraternity.  

Alpha Zeta visited the movie theater in Western Plaza in Mayaguez on November 24^th at 9:15 pm to watch The Mockingjay. Both current members and pledges assisted to the event and enjoyed the film. We experienced the highs and lows of the movie together, some members more than others, and also heard the comments of nonfans that assisted merely to fraternize. The nonfans thought, for some reason, that the whole movie was to happen up on a three, while there was a member that kept making faces at certain new characters in the sequel, though she would not explain why. All in all, e had a pleasant time and after watching the movie, we conversed about anything and everything late into the night.

Our Agricultural Sciences Department held a coffee fair, to promote everything about coffee. We had a small table where we sold muffins, cookies, danishes and oriented people about coffee. We had a lot of fun during the whole activity especially being so close to christmas where in Puerto Rico we basically start celebrating on November 1st and who doesn't love coffee. It was a great atmosphere there was music, dancing and great friends.

On November 8th we went to a pig farm in the town of Moca to work with pigs. We injected supplemental iron, tattooed their ears, castrated and weaned the pigs. It was a great learning experience for both the candidates and the old members because some of them had never worked with pigs. After a hard day of work working with almost 90 pigs we went to eat and shared some of our stories with this year’s candidates.

Our Chapter went to the town of Anasco to help a school in their local garden. We helped transplant some vegetable plants they wanted to produce and helped harvest cilantro. This activity was a great learning experience for some of our new candidates, we were able to speak to some of the school teachers about agriculture and how they have been so successful with their garden.

On Friday, September 5, 2014 the brothers of the Cook Chapter of Alpha Zeta sponsored a Responsible Happy Hour at the Cook Cafe in the Cook Campus Center. The event had free food and discounted drinks for those over 21. The brothers got to socialize with each other as well as the rest of the Rutgers community that attended the event. Everyone had fun catching up with their friends after a nice summer. The event provided potential new members the opportunity to come and learn about the Fraternity of Alpha Zeta, while at the same time provided an opportunity for the chapter to spread its awareness to the Rutgers community

 On Saturday, September 6th the Florida Chapter headed out to one of the hidden gems of the University of Florida: Lake Wauburg.  We participated in a four-hour team building challenge course to help us get to know each other and grow better relationships.  We were broken into two teams and worked through some great yet rigorous activities wherein we had to overcome everything from talking blind folded brothers through obstacles, to getting through a giant “spider web” without touching it. ...
