Florida Chapter Family Day 2012

The weekend of November 16th was deemed Family weekend for the Florida Chapter of Alpha Zeta.  Members attended Woodser on Friday night complete with a huge bonfire, smores galore, and plenty of jokes and laughter.  It was a great night to get to know each and every one of our members a little more.  We even had a few esteemed alumni attend!  We continued family weekend the next day by having a BBQ tailgate before the UF vs. Jacksonville State football game.  Many members had family members come and it was a great time to eat some delicious food, meet the families of members, and get pumped for a Gator win!  Family Weekend was a huge hit this Fall, and we are excited to continue the tradition in upcoming years!

Florida Chapter Initiates Fall 2012 Pledges

Originally posted by Audrey S. Knickerbocker

Last Tuesday, November 20th, the Florida Chapter of Alpha Zeta had the privilege of initiating 10 new members.  The evening started out with mingling and networking between sponsors, pledges, and others in attendance.  Initiation rituals were conducted and the pledges became official members of the Florida Chapter of Alpha Zeta.  It was an exciting night for everyone in attendance.  Pledges finally saw all their hard work during the semester pay off.  The evening continued with a delicious dinner, speeches, and awards for the pledges.  All officers in attendance voted on the best pledge paddle, and that person was recognized with a gift basket of goodies!  All the pledge paddles looked great, so it was a tough decision!  We were unexpectedly honored to have the dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Dean Balser, in attendance for the ceremonies.  All in all, it was a joyous night for everyone and we wish the best of luck to our new members of the Florida Chapter!

Cornell Pumpkin Carving

Members of the Cornell chapter celebrated Halloween with pumpkin carving! The night before Halloween actives gathered to show off their pumpkin carving skills. Some members carved their pumpkin in the traditional jack-o-lantern style while others took a unique approach and carved something related to agriculture. Of course the night was completed with roasted pumpkin seeds and lighting the candles inside the jack-o-lanterns to show off everyone’s hard work.

Cornell Chapter Participates in a Corn Maze

Originally posted by Rebecca S. Terry

Actives from the Cornell chapter joined other agricultural organizations on campus to participate in a corn maze. A few of the other clubs who participated included Collegiate FFA and the National Society for Collegiate Scholars. Since we attended the maze at night it proved to be spooky for some! However, many choose to find their way out of the 10 acre maze without a flashlight. Everyone had a great a time and we look forward to attending again next fall. The theme for the maze changes every year, this year it was in the shape of a miniature golf course. The event was a success last year and proved to be just as much fun this year.

NC Pool Battleship

NC Pool Battleship

Originally posted by Ashley J. Kirby

This semester, NC State University’s Campus Recreation hosted a Pool Battleship Tournament on November 8th. Six brothers of the North Carolina Chapter participated in the event for the first time with an Alpha team and a Zeta team. Brothers registered online with Campus Recreation, who divided teams into five heats of eight canoes. We arrived at the campus pool fifteen minutes prior to our 6:30 start time. The object of pool battleship is to be the last boat floating, so brothers had to bring tools. Three brothers were in a canoe and either threw water into other canoes with bowls or used a plastic shield to block water. There were no paddles, so teams had to work together to stay balanced while moving...

On October 31st at 9pm, four brothers played in two rounds of volleyball against another campus group. Although we did not come out with a victory, our team worked well together to play over 30 minutes of volleyball. Six brothers were ready to play the next game on November 7th. The team won after three rounds and close to an hour of volleyball. The team enjoys laughing and spending time together. This also provides an opportunity to network with other campus groups.
