After a long break away, like this year's one month winter break, brothers are always excited to come back to school and get together to catch on the adventures of the break and the goals for the upcoming semester. On January 30, 2013 the Cook AZ brothers met up in the Cook Campus Center, our unofficial home, drank some root beer floats, enjoyed some '50s music and discussed the excited upcoming events the semester. Spring 2013 is going to be a wonderful semester, if the big little tackle hug in the picture below states anything.

Roundtable interviews were held the Sunday at 9:00am on February 3^rd in our chapter meeting room. This interview is the next step in the North Carolina Chapter's recruitment process for new brothers. Everyone who attended Rush events was invited to come to Roundtable on Sunday afternoon for a formal interview. The applicants proceeded to sign up for an interview time by contacting our Censor. 33 brothers greeted the visiting students with a variety of snacks. The event began with a slide show of chapter activities, and then interviews began...

On Tuesday January 29^th, we held our first Rush event in the Bragaw residence hall activity room.  We had 6 potential candidates come out at 6pm to get to know us and receive applications.  Our committee heads and officers spoke on our many activities, and then we showed a slide show of activities. We enjoyed baked ziti prepared by Censor Jamie Parham and deserts made by brothers...

To encourage fellow students to attend information sessions, we set up our boards on the brickyard January 29^th, 30^th and 31^st. Brothers stood at the boards in between classes so that if a student had questions about Alpha Zeta they could answer them. Two to six brothers stood by the boards for each ninety-minute shift from 9:30am to 3pm.

On January 31^st, ten brothers met around 8:30 at Western Lanes across from campus to enjoy a night of bowling. Each brother had a great time and made many memories. At this bowling alley, each person has to record their own scores which makes it much more interesting.

The North Carolina Chapter loves fellowship and food. Before the meeting on Wednesday January 23^rd, thirty brothers shared a wonderful meal including deviled eggs, pigs-in-a-blanket, fried chicken, green beans, cup cakes and other delicious dishes.  Everyone was responsible for bringing a dish. We enjoyed catching up with each other about winter break activities...

It’s the first week of the semester and the second week of rush and everyone at the Cornell Chapter knows what that means…BROOMBALL! Over the years, broomball, which for those of you who don’t know is sort of like hockey without skates, has become a tradition for the house and a way to recruit new members. Who doesn’t enjoy sliding around on ice, in the middle of winter, especially in upstate NY!

The effort, dedication, responsibility and hard work become part of the merits and characteristics that describe an honor student. The Faculty of Agriculture in the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez Campus wanted to reward the honors of their students. The faculty organized an activity in where the honor students of all departments were presented to celebrate this important goal and to receive a certificate for the good academic performance during the academic year 2011-2012...

Alpha zeta has always been transmitting agriculture knowledge and teaching in the practice how to work with our lands. This important task is not only for the benefit of our students, it’s also a tool for our community that is always disposed to learn participating of our activities. This time Alpha Zeta was helping an organization called ENACTUS to prepare a vegetable garden in an Elementary School called Felipe Odiott in Añasco Puerto Rico. ENACTUS has different projects that have social, economic and environmental impact as its purpose that affect us today...

On January 10^th 2013, three members of the Cornell Chapter of Alpha Zeta attended the New York State Agricultural Society meeting held in Syracuse, NY. The day was filled with many networking opportunities, inspirational speakers and local food that was donated to the Ag Society.
