Overview In hindsight, it has been a great year for the Zeta Sigma Chapter. We’ve welcomed 12 new members (with a 92% retention rate), hosted a wheelchair basketball tournament, held our first ever Pie a Pi Kapp, elected our first ever Rose Queen, produced our first ever fraternity composites, won Greek Week and finish 3rd in Chi O’s Wish Week, had an alumni recognized in Thirty Under 30, participated in IM sports with sororities, set higher standards for our officers, and more. More importantly, we recruited quality men, each of whom can contribute and further advance our chapter. Likewise, we also had plenty of struggles and plenty of worries; it was a stressful year with large demands from all of our members. However, what began as 16 brothers soon turned into 28. We made plenty of mistakes, but we made sure to turn them into opportunities for growth. All in all, we have high hopes for next year and have already begun preparing. Now that we are allowed to customize our house, have composites to hang, a projector to show off, and plenty of other new props, as well as improved member experiences, our brothers are rolling into next year with plenty of confidence and a great deal to look forward to. “With having the house and the group of men that we do, I am confident that this chapter will achieve their goals and keep alive the views that my fellow founding fathers and I had.” – Thomas Cartwright
