As a semester filled with many assignments and tests reached its end, our Alpha Zeta Chapter encouraged its members to do the best, and at the same time to have a relaxing moment sharing ideas with each other in a get together.  After working in all the activities and academic priorities of the semester, we had a great time with this event. We participated in a BBQ in one of our alpha zeta member’s house. During the activity we had hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, coke and other delicious food varieties. While enjoying these delightful entrees, the members exchanged ideas, laughter and had a fun time.
