THE ZETA PHI PAGE 2 CARRYING ON TRADITIONS OF SUCCESS Zeta Phi Excels in Service and Campus-Wide Activities Z eta Phi Chapter continues its long legacy of success in a wide variety of areas. We ended the spring 2017 semester with second place in grades among all IFC fraternities. We finished with a 3.26—well above the all-Greek and all-university campus GPAs. We look forward to a return to first place this fall! .1K TO BENEFIT TRUE NORTH Philanthropy Chairman Alex Minter '20 worked hard to plan Zeta Phi's first-ever .1K benefiting True North, a local shelter for victims of domestic violence. This event happened in late October, and was open to all members of campus and included games and food for all. WELCOMING 40 NEW MEMBERS We are happy to report that 40 young men from all over the country have decided to be a part of our brotherhood.
