UF 34th St. Wall Painting Social 10/6/11

UF 34th St. Wall Painting Social 10/6/11

Originally posted by Claire D. Page

Members of the Florida Chapter met up on Thursday night at 8 p.m. to take part in a tradition at the University of Florida. Located on 34th St. in Gainesville is a wall that lines the road where students all over the city come and paint advertisements, pictures, and even proposals. We decided to go with an Alpha Zeta theme painting a huge A and Z on the wall and each of the members who attended wrote their own name. In our group there were some more talented graffiti artists than others, however our finished product is one to challenge some of the best artists. The wall gave us the opportunity to show our creative side and have fun outside with each other away from the midterm grind.

Cornell Chapter Habitat for Humanity Build Day

Originally posted by Emmaline A. Long

This past Saturday (10/1), the Cornell Chapter participated in a Habitat for Humanity build day in a local community. Seven actives, 2 alumni, and 1 pledge attended. They worked hard all morning to put drywall in the basement and paneling in the ceiling. It was a great way to put our skills to work for the community.

Lost in a Maze of Maize

Lost in a Maze of Maize

Originally posted by Emmaline A. Long

This past Friday, (9/30), the Cornell Chapter attended a corn maze with two other campus organizations. Collegiate FFA and Hortus Forum (the undergraduate horticulture club) attended with us. Everyone met at the AZ House and headed to the maze together. Many members of AZ are a part of the other organizations and we thought it would be a great way to mingle with other "aggies". Around 15 actives attended, 1 alumni, and 3 pledges, along with many others from the other organizations. Everyone had a great time despite the mud and we really look forward to organizing events like this with other agricultural organizations in the future!

Cornell Campus Scavenger Hunt

Cornell Campus Scavenger Hunt

Originally posted by Emmaline A. Long

One of our new member events is a campus scavenger hunt to learn about how AZ at Cornell has impacted the campus, mostly in the Ag School. It was held this semester on 9/27. New members got clues to different buildings on campus that are important to AZ and met actives at each building to hear how it was important. At one stop, two alumni surprised the new members with hot chocolate. The night concluded on the Arts Quad by the statue of our college's founder.

UF vs. Alabama Football Game Social 10/1/11

UF vs. Alabama Football Game Social 10/1/11

Originally posted by Claire D. Page

Another gorgeous day in Gainesville turned into a chilly night at a Gator game. Members of the Florida Chapter met up earlier in the week to get football tickets together for the game against the University of Alabama. Everyone one was in the seats and ready for the 8 p.m. kick off. The stadium was the loudest it has ever been even though the Gators lost members stayed until the very last second. The Florida Chapter even visited with some fans during halftime taking a picture with a gator and die-hard fans they found in the stands. Everyone enjoyed the game and the opportunity to hang out and be with friends even if it was a tad colder for us Florida members because "in all kind of weather we'll all stick together for F-L-O-R-I-D-A!”

UF Intramural Indoor Soccer Game 9/28/11

UF Intramural Indoor Soccer Game 9/28/11

Originally posted by Claire D. Page

Our intramural indoor soccer team for the Fall semester had their second game of our season. Though we may not have a perfect record members enjoy coming out other week on Wednesday for our games. Luckily for the ladies, we had extra people for substitutions but our three hard working men stuck it out the whole game. We had some new players this week that were just learning the rules of the game and they seemed to be the stars of the field. The game was a tough game but our members stuck through it and gave it their all. Even though we lost our members had a blast and can't wait for the next game.

UF Pledge Rush Events and Interviews

Originally posted by Claire D. Page

The Florida Chapter of Alpha Zeta holds a series of rush events each semester to allow potential members the opportunity to interact with current members and find out a little bit more about what Alpha Zeta is at UF. The rush events for this year consisted of our annual event Bat Watching with the Chancellor, and a few new events like Swing Dancing and a Road Clean-up. The events were a great time for potential pledges to get a feel for what events we do and see if they like how they fit in our chapter...

NC Roundtable Interviews

Originally posted by Madeline N. Dabolt

On Sunday September 11th, the brothers of the North Carolina Chapter of Alpha Zeta met to interview our potential candidates.  We all met at Weaver labs at 11am in business professional dress and brought breakfast or brunch items to share.  We started the day by welcoming the potential candidates, showing them a slide show presentation of some of our activities, and singing the AZ friendship song.  These interviews gave us an opportunity to get to know these talented individuals and a time for them to ask us questions...
