At Success After College, students listened to a one and a half hour panel answer questions about what life was like after college. This was to benefit students who are about to graduate. Phi Sigma Pi co-sponsored four specific forums. Alpha Zeta was in charge of providing moderators and greeters for the following sessions: job interview etiquette, grad school, 401K discussion and how to get ahead without stepping on toes. Each session needed at least 3 Brothers. Two brothers were needed to greet guests as they came into the discussion and one Brothers was there to moderate the session and encourage panelists to speak on specific issues by prompting the panelists with specific questions.

Over 400 people attended the dinner, which was held in UNC’s “Pit” or central gathering area on campus.
