Zeta Skulls Magazine March 2014 | Page 9

Get STOKED Zeta Magazine Stoked (adj). To be in a state of happiness, excitement, anticipation, pride, and optimism. This year, with new greek life rules that prohibited Rush Week posters or flyers, Zeta Chapter was faced with the dilemma of finding a way to advertise upcoming events and get freshmen excited about rushing Phi Kappa Sigma. Luckily, the Zeta Chapter have several creative brothers who finished multiple designs for a rush week T-shirt. The resulting designs were voted on and the final design was chosen. The chosen design is a play on the word Stoked, the three middle letters being our Fraternity letter s and the crest. With help from the Alumni Corp. the brotherhood was able to purchase the Tshirts, which we all wore with pride through rush week. We are proud to say the T-shirts were a success, and we have decided to make this an annual thing, with a design competition each year- to maximize the creativity of our extremely talented brothers. Thank You Alumni Corp for your kind and generous donation and help!

Here is the list of events: Monday: House tour and meet and greet Tuesday: Dodgeball Wednesday: Poker Night Thursday: Burgers and Brats Live Band (Unfortunately the band cancelled because of the snow storm, but the potential new members candidates were treated to a selection of meat products donated by owner of Nello’s Specialty Meats, Nello Loiacono, father of our academic chair and in house photographer Matt Loiacono’15) Overall, the week went very well and we are proud to have an incoming pledge class of 7 wonderful potential new members!

We wanted to take this time to thank you for your continuing and generous support across the last few months. Fratsgiving in November was a great hit with our fantastic alumnus chef, Dave Zuckerman. We received several compliments from brothers and rushees alike. We also wanted to thank you for your extremely generous help during our Rush Week. We currently have 7 prospective new members who are some of the most dedicated this brotherhood has seen in years. We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you again for all you have helped us with, both in terms of finances and mentoring. We look forward to maintaining this strong relationship in the future for years to come.
