It finally feels like fall here in Florida and that means it’s corn maze weather!  This weekend some of the brothers from the Florida Chapter went out to a local corn maze for a night full of fun and fright.  They enjoyed the homemade haunted house and running from clowns carrying chainsaws in the maze.  It was an a very affordable social and more importantly, another opportunity for our brothers to come closer as one big AZ family.  Even better, this corn maze is owned and operated by a ...

Pledges set out to complete their next service event on Thursday, October 23rd, at the Alachua County Humane Society. From 4:00pm-6:00pm, pledges helped the humane society out by working in their thrift shop. They then got to play with the cats in the cat ward and gave them the "playtime" and affection that each of the cats need. -Maya Halay, Pledge Class Service Chair

On October 18th, 2014, the Pledge Class went to the Jungle Friends primate sanctuary for their third service event. Fully aware that they would have to wear close-toed shoes and keep hats and sunglasses away from the mischievous monkeys, pledges set out to do a number of odd jobs around the sanctuary. From 10:00am to 2:00pm, they helped prepare afternoon meals, cleaned monkey enclosures, and did yard work around the area. Afterwards, pledges were rewarded with the privilege of getting to ...

The Pledge Class had their second service event on October 10th from 5:00-7:00pm. They went to Norton Elementary and helped work the annual Fall Festival that the school puts on.

  The Pledge Class had their first fundraising event this past weekend. Each pledge is required to complete 5 hours of fundraising. They volunteered at a concession stand for the University of Florida's Lacrosse Tournament. They prepared and sold hot dogs, popcorn, pretzels, hamburgers, drinks, etc. The shift was from 9am until 5pm, and even though it was long, they split it up into two four hour shifts so each pledge had an opportunity to volunteer.

 On Saturday, September 13th, the Florida Chapter hosted a tailgate for the Florida versus Kentucky football game so brothers could hang out while sporting their orange and blue.  During the event, refreshments were provided so all the brothers had to do was show up and have a good time. The event lasted about two hours so brothers could go to their regular tailgating areas or visit with other friends before the big game.  Although the Gators lost, the brothers of AZ started the day off ...

 On Saturday, September 6th the Florida Chapter headed out to one of the hidden gems of the University of Florida: Lake Wauburg.  We participated in a four-hour team building challenge course to help us get to know each other and grow better relationships.  We were broken into two teams and worked through some great yet rigorous activities wherein we had to overcome everything from talking blind folded brothers through obstacles, to getting through a giant “spider web” without touching it. ...

The Zoológico de Puerto Rico Dr. Juan A. Rivero needs much help dealing with their green areas and other labors. Dependant on the Government for its founds as part of the division of Parques Nacionales, it lacks personnel it needs and is therefore sustained in a great measure by the help of volunteers. Knowing this, members of Alpha Zeta took it upon themselves to give a hand to the personnel that so desperately need it.  The Zoo is trying to reestablish its seedbed area, but it was covered ...

The Cal Epsilon Chapter held a meeting on October 8th and invited the perspective new members to attend to learn more about Alpha Zeta. We had 38 perspective members attend the meeting.
