Early Fraternity Life and Career
Debby decided to attend the University of Georgia and began her college career in Fall of 2004. She was a member of the nationally acclaimed Redcoat Marching Band that football season. One night in Spring 2005, after finishing a women's self-defense class, she was wandering around the Tate Student Center looking for someone she knew who could loan her enough money to pay the fee to get out of the parking deck. Little did she know she was about to find something much more valuable than money. To be continued... (with equally corny cliff-hangers)

One of my current projects is creating, compiling, and adding to the wiki a list of all the different t-shirts Beta Zeta has created over the years. It's a wonderful way for me to share my knowledge and experience, and to help preserve Chapter history. (And of course it is great for reminiscing on good times.) Check out my progress, and add your shirts to the list, at List of Beta Zeta Chapter T-Shirts. (Debby 13:09, 23 November 2011 (PST))

Other Interesting Facts
- I spent 6 wonderful years in Beta Zeta, and have happily transitioned into life as an Alumni Brother.
- I welcomed 12 initiate classes into Beta Zeta and watched equally as many Brothers transition into Alumni.
- I still have my Initiate Folder from when I rushed in 2005. I still have all the notes I have ever taken at Grand Chapters and National Conventions.
- The stars must have aligned when I rushed because VP of Chapter Development Kyle Williams and International Super Star/ Director of Expansion Ryan DeGuzman rushed in Spring 2005 as well.
