The North Carolina Chapter of Alpha Zeta had the pleasure of
adding nine new Brothers to our chapter this past fall semester. Each candidate
went through the same traditions as all the Brothers before them and learned a
great deal about our chapter, our state's agriculture, and Alpha Zeta. The
purpose of New Member Education Week is to teach prospective brothers the
importance of teamwork to accomplish a common goal. We started the week with
retreat which allows the Big Brother’s to bond with their little and for the
candidates to get to know each other as a candidate class. We all participated
in a service project the next morning doing various projects around the camp,
which really helped the director of the camp to prepare for camp this coming summer.
As we continued through the week the candidates went through a multitude of
ceremonies and learned about the love that we as brothers have for this
fraternity and for each other. These nine Brothers are all dedicated and
passionate individuals who are going to excel in Alpha Zeta and continue to
promote agriculture!
