Chapter Mascot

Beta Zeta's mascot is the Gecko. We are looking for information about when and why the Gecko was choosen to be the mascot. We are fairly sure that the decision pre-dates the Geico Gecko.

In Fall 2009 the Chapter bought a full-body Gecko costume/suit. Brothers take turns wearing the costume around campus to promote Information Nights and Rush Nights, and to generally get people's attention.

Chapter Chant

Beta Zeta's chant is a call-and-response style chant based loosely on a University of Georgia Redcoat Band drum cadence/chant.

Chapter Events & Activities

Chapter Meetings

Beta Zeta Chapter meetings are typically held Monday nights during the semester at the Student Learning Center (now the Zell Miller Learning Center) which is located on the University of Georgia Campus.

Honor Cords

Each semester, the Beta Zeta Chapter sells honor cords to graduating seniors. Orders for honor cords come in from across the country. If one would like to purchase honor cords online, brothers would email the chapter directly.

Concessions

Every year, the chapter works concessions during the UGA home games at Sanford Stadium. Considered a wildly successful fundraiser, the chapter is able to raise a large amount of money during games in which attendance can reach 90,000+. Recently, the Beta Zeta Chapter has worked with Epsilon Theta (Georgia Tech), Gamma Delta (University of West Georgia) as well as Epsilon Nu (Kennesaw State) to work concessions. The three chapters would be able to get a portion of the money raised during the game. The chapter also works concessions at various basketball, baseball, and gymnastics meets. Together with Honor Cords, these games make up the spring fundraising line-up.

Past Events and activities

2008 Midsouth Regional Conference

In the Spring of 2008, Beta Zeta was the host for the 2008 Midsouth Regional Conference. It was a wildly successful event in which brothers from all over the midsouth region traveled to Athens. It was an excellent opportunity for brothers to not only bond, but to also learn from one another, sharing the triumphs and challenges that their respective chapters faced. The weekend featured a "tripod relay," roundtable discussions, benefit concert, and a catered banquet. Brothers also had the opportunity to experience the unique city of Athens, GA.

2008 Stone Mountain Inter-Chapter Event

In December of 2008, the Beta Zeta Chapter held an inter-chapter event at Stone Mountain Park in Georgia. The chapter invited the other chapters within the Metro-Atlanta Area for a night of apple cider, smores, Ice-breakers, and a Christmas themed laser show. Brothers from the Gamma Delta, Epsilon Nu, and Epsilon Theta Chapters were in attendance, marking this event as the first event outside of National Convention in which all Metro Atlanta Chapters were gathered together for an event.
