Gamma Zeta Chapter, Spring 2012

Chapter History

The Gamma Zeta Chapter has been active for 17 years. Most of the history is unknown to members of the Chapter.This is due to the fact that the chapter historical documents were stolen from where they were stored in a storage locker. Sherry (ΓΖ ) and Kevin Rogers (ΓΖ ) are two Brothers of the Alpha pledge class who have helped the Gamma Zeta Chapter discover it's history.

In 1996 The Gamma Zeta Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi had their own floor in the honors college dorm Reynolds. Brothers inhabited the 2nd floor which made it easy for everyone to plan events and meetings. Brothers who lived on the floor claim that their favorite aspect of the fraternity was coming back from class and spending time with their Brothers in the dorm.

Chapter Events & Activities

Founder's Weekend

Gamma Zeta celebrates the Chapter's founding with a birthday party, including cake, each year.

Other Event or Activity

In the past 3 semesters in a row, the chapter has held a service event called Bowls for Bovines. In this event we collaborate with the Western Carolina University ceramics students (the WCU Mudcats) to make and sell bowls to raise money for Heifer International. Heifer International is an organization whose goal is to help end world hunger and boost the economy in impoverished areas around the world. The money we raise from Bowls for Bovines goes directly to this organization to purchase a livestock animal for a family (or multiple families when we do really well!) in these areas.
