Message From President

Dear Brothers,

As we pass the half­way point of the 2010­11 school year Iwould like to wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2011.

2010 was a great year for Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity. We initiatedover 800 men this fall alone and are on pace to cross the 1500mark for the first time in over 20 years. We opened three newcolonies in the fall and have many leads on campuses for theSpring. Our new strategic plan is in place and we are poised to dogreat things in 2011 and beyond.

I am proud to report that our Executive Director, Laurence A.Bolotin, Alpha Zeta (University of Florida) ’01 has done a superbjob of recruiting and hiring a fantastic staff. For the first time inyears we have the resources to have a professional staff member, other than a chapter consultant,fully dedicated to chapter affairs and we are actively pursuing a more well­rounded chapter servicingprogram. In addition, the National Permanent Endowment Fund; the Fraternity’s housing arm, hashired a staff member who is working to improve upon and enhance the resources we offer tochapters and colonies in pursuit of housing.

Fall 2010 also marked the debut of The Journey, ZBT’s new membership development program. Ournew brotherhood program experience is not a one size fits all program. After over a year­long studyand input from undergraduates and alumni our new program is being tested at several chapters andso far the feedback has been excellent. The Journey program is off to a great start and the additionalinput provided to staff from the test Chapters will be invaluable in the evolution of the programoptions.

Personally, I had the opportunity to travel to the Washington DC area and meet with the Phi AlphaAlpha (George Washington University), Eta Kappa (Towson) and Phi Epsilon (Virginia) Chapters. I amhappy to report that those Chapters are working hard on either becoming or maintaining theirstatus as a Powerhouse of Excellence.

In short, these past few months have been great for our Fraternity but I know that 2011 will bringeven more milestones for our Fraternity.

It’s great to be a ZBT!

A Letter from the Co­Editor

Dear Brothers:

The fall 2010 academic term was an exciting one for our Fraternity.More men than ever before (at least since we’ve kept electronicfiles) have joined ZBT as new initiates. Lives were changed as westarted new colonies at the University of Buffalo, the University ofNorth Carolina­Charlotte, and a city­chapter in the GreaterPhiladelphia region. The joint strategic plan of the Fraternity andFoundation are in place and being implemented. This is just thebeginning to a bigger AND better ZBT for generations to come.

What will make the difference between yesterday and tomorrow?The answer is “you.” As you read through the pages of the DigitalDeltan, you will read stories of how our alumni continue to live the values of ZBT long after theyhave graduated from college. Was ZBT the reason why these men have been so successful? Maybe.Can ZBT take a more active role in ensuring that our undergraduates are prepared for the worldafter graduation? Absolutely. But, we can’t do it alone. We need alumni, like you, to re­ engage inthe lives of our undergraduate men. Opportunities to re­engage are endless. Please take a momentto email Nathan D. Fox, Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, to express your interest. He wouldlove to hear from you at nfox@zbtnational.org.

As we enter into the spring 2011 academic term, we have many exciting initiatives underway. Wewill once again execute a successful James E. Greer, Jr. Presidents’ Leadership Academy andRegional Conclave program, but we will do it in a way that inspires our undergraduates to demandexcellence from themselves and their peers. We will change more lives in our expansion programwhile working closely with our existing colonies and chapters to identify the best and brightest oncampus to join ZBT. And, most importantly, we will continue to evolve our strategic plan into a wayof life that WILL make ZBT a BIGGER and BETTER organization for you, me, and thousands ofothers across the world.

It is GREAT to be a ZBT.

Cordially, Fraternally, and Sincerely,

Laurence A. BolotinExecutive Director

A Strategic Plan Update for ZBT

The 2010­2011 academic year marked the first year of implementation for the ZBT Strategic Plan. With goals focusing on internal and external growth, retention, and alumni development, you canimagine that this was a busy semester for staff and volunteers.

The purpose of any strategic plan is to end better than we began. The good news is that ZBT beganthis process in a place of substantial growth over the last decade. The better news is that, becauseof this growth, ZBT has more resources than ever before to support our undergraduate, and alumnithrough a dynamic fraternity experience.

As we review the first semester of implementation, we ask ourselves the following questions:

1. How do we ensure that while we are building a bigger organization that it also becomes abetter organization?

2. How do we generate a more relevant fraternity experience for not just our undergraduatemen, but our alumni as well?

3. How do we create a sense of excitement and buy­in from the general community to see ZBTas a value­added product?

4. After the undergraduate experience ends, what is ZBT doing to create a true lifelongexperience?

These questions are being answered each and every day. We must keep our eye on the prize: afraternity experience that is a part of our lives from the day we join until we enter the chaptereternal. As we evaluate the success of our first semester of implementation, be on the lookout foradditional updates, ways to get involved and upcoming events. If you have any questions, pleasefeel free to contact Executive Director Laurence A. Bolotin at lbolotin@zbtnational.org.

Held inconjunction with the house re­dedication, Supreme Councilors had an opportunity to meet andmingle with alumni spanning more than five decades. The weekend culminated with the re­dedication held at the chapter house. Guest speakers ranged from chapter advisors to re­foundingfathers to the Chancellor of the University. While speaking, the DU Chancellor recognized thepositive impact that ZBT has had upon the student experience on campus and commended theleadership for creating a relevant fraternity experience.

Thank you for the Digital Deltan. This is the finest piece of small organization electronic news mediathat I have received to date from any organization. It is wonderfully well organized and interestingto read. The pop­up video is an amazing feature. Congratulations to all of the hard working folkswho put this edition together and sent it off into cyberspace to be received and perused by long timeinactive brothers like me.

I didn’t even think I’d even care. I would like to hear from any "old" brothers.

Ronald G. Figel, Alpha Eta (University of California – Berkeley) ’56

Note from the Editors: ZBT had a positive impact on our lives during our college experience and wehope it did the same for you. It is natural to care about an organization which nurtured us,encouraged us, taught us leadership and provided lifelong friendships. You can request a list of ZBTsyou went to school with by contacting the national f

Online the [Digital] Deltan is extremely difficult to go through. Not clear in how to read it; easy toprint but not easy to look at pages you might select–try it yourself. New, user friendly approach isnecessary.

I want to read the [Digital] Deltan live and in color. I do not have the time or patience to readsomething on the internet. Please send me a REAL copy of the magazine. I am sure there are otherbothers that feel the same way.

Ted A. Toback, Beta Epsilon (University of Michigan) ’53

Note From the Editors: We understand the need for a printed version of the Deltan, however due tothe costs associated with printing and mailing to our almost 100,000 constituents (alumni,undergraduates, parents, colleges and universities, newspapers, etc.) we have decided the best useof our limited resources is to produce this online version.

The online version has some drawbacks such as the ability to hold it in your hand, carry it around toread when convenient and easily put it down [although we are not sure why you would want to]and come back to it at a later time. The digital magazine also has many things we couldn’t put in apaper version even if we tried such as audio and video. As things like the iPad become more popularit will eliminate some of the drawbacks.

Following the Footsteps of a Legacy

The importance of legacies to the life andlongevity of ZBT cannot be overstated. It isthrough the special bond of relatives, father andson, uncle and nephew, brother to brother,grandfather to grandson that our Fraternitywithstands the test of time and survives fromgeneration to generation. The opportunity toshare the same fraternal experience with arelative is understood only by those that live it.It is a sacred and respected aspect of ourfraternity and something that will continue tolive on. Those who have had the privilege ofbeing a legacy are the most qualified to share the meaning and importance legacies are to ourFraternity. This is an attempt to take you into the minds and lives of those lucky few who have hadan opportunity to share the fraternity experience with a family member.

Let me take you on a journey. As a young boy I always idolized my father. I wanted nothing morethan to follow in my dad’s footsteps. I found direction and guidance from him and envied his astuteability to live an honest and humble life. I knew early on that my father was a ZBT in college. Ibegan to consume myself in the fairytale life my father must have lived while in college as part of afraternity. I would bother him incessantly about the day to day life of a fraternity man, but true tothe man he was, he refused to share any secrets surrounding this organization keeping to the oathhe took as an undergraduate. From the beginning, my father would always describe his role in thefraternity as a mere pawn. He was no more important than the leg of a table.

High School came and went and soon I was waist high in the college life that seemed so alien to meonly weeks before. ZBT was on my campus and at the time was a top tier Fraternity. They were achapter of 80 men, constantly recruited with the best, were leaders on campus, and were a positiveaspect of the community.

Rush week came and I rushed a number of Fraternities receiving a bid from three, including ZBT.Without any hesitation I accepted the bid from ZBT. The night that I received and accepted my bidwas the same night that I was initiated as a brother of my father’s Fraternity. I was told to listenintently to the many words that would soon be shared with me and that they would be guidinglights for my future. As I listened I began to hear common themes and attributes that were taughtto me as a child. I began to hear my father sharing his many words of wisdom. I felt as if I hadalready been there standing and listening to this exact ritual.

My father would later make a surprise visit to the chapter house coming to the front of the roomwhen the initiation ritual was over to pin me with the same pearled ZBT pin that was worn over hisheart for so many years. The same man that had told me ZBT was not a large part in his life andthat he had done little during his tenure was standing before me crying.

I would go on to become recruitment chairman, president, and become involved on the nationallevel. ZBT is now an incredibly large part of my life. I look back and at one time thought that I joinedZBT because of the quality of men in the Chapter, its ability to shape men in a positive way, and themany

leadership opportunities that it presented. These were all true and they played a large role in mydecision, but they were not the ultimate reason. That reason was my father.

I now had an opportunity to share a unique experience with my father. I found being a legacy wassomething to cherish and be proud of. After speaking to others who had a similar opportunity toshare their fraternal bond with a family member, I began to collect stories that sent a similarmessage.

“My ZBT experience can be defined by the values I learned, experiences I had, andfriends I made. Although special and memorable, my experience was different thanmost ZBT brothers. This is because I am a legacy. I will never forget my two olderbrothers coming up to me after my initiation and telling me, “this is the best decisionyou ever made.” This was so true that I made sure to tell my little brother the samething after he was initiated two years later. Being able to share the ZBT experiencewith my three brothers enhanced mine, but more importantly made us closer byproviding a special bond that we never had growing up. We have a better relationshiptoday because of ZBT.”­Branden M. Engorn, Beta Zeta Epsilon (University of Maryland­College Park) ’04

“One of the greatest things about being a legacy within ZBT was being able to becomepart of something that until then I had only heard the glorified stories, or been able tosee as a visiting high schooler. Being a legacy within ZBT meant I was able to seechange within the chapter over a longer period within the chapter. I was exposed toZBT my sophomore year of high school. It also meant I was able to see how muchcertain things stay the same. The philanthropies, the traditions, the running insidejokes that no one really knows where they came from, but I did. It was very much aunique experience. I was able to share a year as a freshman in ZBT with my olderbrother, Andy, who was a senior. My older brother helped set the example of what a"True Zeeb" should be, and how one should act. He set the foundation that wouldprepare me for my role as president once he graduated.”­Michael T. Lonardo Rho Iota (University of Rhode Island) ’10

“I am UCLA, Alpha Rho class of 1979. My older brother by five years, Greg, was alsoUCLA Alpha Rho. Greg had just graduated, but was around on campus as a student atthe UCLA School of Medicine. Over the years prior to my matriculation to UCLA, I hadseen my brother’s ZBT brothers around our home on visits to San Diego and on myvisits to Los Angeles. I was so comfortable with the idea of ZBT at UCLA, mainly due tomy brother, that I moved straight into the fraternity house as a pledge. As a legacy, Ihad both the confidence that I would be accepted, of course, as well as the knowledgethat it was the right place for me. In today’s world, I believe it is almost unheard of fornew members to live in from the start of rush as the competition for on­campushousing on many campuses requires that most in­coming freshman commit tohousing far in advance of fall rush.”

“ I also followed in my brother’s fraternal footsteps serving as a pledge father for alarge fall class as well as remaining on campus and connected with the fraternity aftergraduation as I earned my degrees from the law school and the business school atUCLA.”­David J. Hirsch Alpha Rho (University of California – Los Angeles) ’79

“Not only was I a legacy – I was a prime legacy at Alpha Rho at UCLA. I don’t think Iwould have been accepted into the chapter unless that was the case. I came acrosscountry from Ohio in 1976 and the Brothers could not have been more accepting ofme with the tradition of following my father – Ed Lux – class of 1951 into the chapter.The tradition of accepting legacies into ZBT must be continued and strengthened. Iunderstand that has not been the case in many chapters throughout the country. Itserves as a bonding of generations and traditions and helps with national fund raisingas well. Legacies should be warmly approached during recruitment and acceptedalmost without hesitation. Unless the 18 year old legacy has committed a seriouscrime, he should be accepted at the local chapter. There’s no need to cut off the armthat feeds and supports ZBT. My perceptions have certainly changed on this issue sincemy college days.” ­Edward M. Lux Alpha Rho (University of California­ Los Angeles) ‘80

“When I started at the University of Southern California in the spring of 2002, I knewno one. Being that it was mid­year, a lot of the friendships that people form asfreshman in college had already crystallized and I feared that I had missed out on theopportunity to develop the relationships that make college so great. During mid­yearorientation I got to talking with another guy about nothing in particular and then thesubject of spring recruitment came up. He mentioned that he was a ZBT legacy andthat was the chapter he was most interested in. As soon as I mentioned that I, too,was a legacy, the dynamic of the conversation changed. Despite the fact that we hadonly known each other for a few minutes we were now fast friends on our way tobecoming brothers. I remember calling my father the next day and telling him howthankful I was that he became a Zebe so many years ago, because if he hadn’t been, Iprobably would not have had the undergraduate experience that I did. After I acceptedmy bid, Ryan was the first guy who came over and shook my hand. To this day, inaddition to all of the memories, we still share that bond of continuing our family legacyin the fraternity.” ­Matt F. Bercovitz Alpha Delta (University of Southern California) ’05

I had a dream to follow in my dad’s footsteps. A man who said ZBT was a mere chapter in his life, nomore important than any other, wept when he had a chance to share ZBT with his son. I now havea new dream. I hope to raise my family with the same precepts and values taught to me by myfather and one day witness a son, grandson, or nephew take part in the same initiation ritual Iwitnessed. I want to leave the same legacy that he has created. Only then will I truly have followedin my dad’s footsteps.

Southern California Area Alumni Association

Zeta Beta Tau’s Alumni Associations

Zeta Beta Tau’s Alumni Associations

The development of Alumni Associations hasbeen a primary goal for the National Fraternitythis past year. A dedication to the lifelongjourney of our members has been revitalizedon the national level. With the direction andguidance of the Director of Alumni & ParentRelations, there is now ongoing support tocreate and maintain a lifetime experience forour members.

This past year has seen alumni activity prosper in areas that include Southern California, NewEngland, New York, Chicago, Tampa Bay, South Florida, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and WashingtonD.C. Below is a summary of activity and events that have taken place in each area.

Southern California had an impressive year. Their goal of creating a website to keep all alumniinformed and up to date became a reality (www.zbtscaaa.com.) Even more remarkable were thenumber of events held and the turn out from alumni in the area. Last year saw events ranging froma sports night at Maggiano’s to the fourth annual day at the races. To sum it all up, the SCAAA hadan incredible year and one that other Alumni Associations will soon be emulating.

Hire on a WHIM: Four Qualities That Make For GreatEmployeesBy: Garrett Miller

Click here to buy

Can you be sure, really sure, that the person you are about to hire is the one? We’re allexperienced that feeling of buyer’s remorse when what we thought we “needed” isn’t as fabulous aswe thought it would be. Many managers have a similar feeling, “hire’s remorse,” after they extendan offer to a prospective employee and get that small but inmistakable twinge in the gut.

Hiring for a new position doesn’t have to be this way. Hire on a Whim breaks down the essentials,not of whom to hire, but what to hire. What mekes these four qualities essential is that no matterhow great a manager you are, these are attributes you can’t teach. As one expert put it, “Theseessentials are part of a candidate’s DNA; they either have them, or they don’t.”

So, before you make that job offer, be sure your future employee has what it takes to be hired on aWHIM.

Recruitment Update

Throughout the fall 2010 semester, ZBT chapters and colonies recruited new members with greatsuccess. Members of ZBT continuously identified, recruited, and ultimately initiated men that upheldthe values of ZBT, men who embodied the Mission, Credo, and Ritual of the Fraternity in their dailylives. Undergraduates proudly represented the Fraternity, drawing a high number of qualityindividuals to our chapters. The unwavering determination of recruitment chairmen, executiveboard members, advisors, and staff was evident as nearly 800 men were initiated by chapters andcolonies!

With the Fraternity in the first year of implementing its new Strategic Plan, every decision, resource,and expectation is in line with a long­term goal. As it relates to growth within existing chapters andcolonies, successful recruitment is the most quantitative data available, and a central focus for allgroups. Fraternity staff members worked with undergraduates across the country to identify theirrecruitment goals for the entire academic year, and reviewed best practices for each group to utilizein order to achieve their goal.

Many chapters and colonies had successful terms of recruitment, a testament to undergraduatesembracing the vision and values of ZBT and being able to convey the benefits of membership tounaffiliated undergraduates. The chapters that recruited the highest number of men to thefraternity are as follows:

Lambda, University of Texas­Austin: 50Alpha Zeta, University of Florida: 36Beta Gamma, Indiana University: 34Alpha Rho, University of California­Los Angeles: 30Rho, University of Illinois: 30Alpha Delta, University of Southern California: 29Alpha Alpha, Purdue University: 25Iota, University of Denver: 25Psi, University of Alabama: 24Zeta Alpha, Florida State University: 23Eta, University of Michigan: 23

The Fraternity also proudly recognizes several chapters in particular for already reaching orsurpassing their annual strategic plan goal for recruitment. These chapters are listed below, with thenumber of initiates listed next to their school name and their strategic goal in parentheses.

Psi, University of Alabama: 24 (24)Lambda, Case Western Reserve University: 20 (18)Zeta Alpha, Florida State University: 23 (10)Eta Delta, University of Nevada – Las Vegas: 20 (17)Alpha Alpha, Purdue University: 25 (20)Eta Gamma, SUNY – Oswego: 17 (14)

Eta Kappa, Towson University: 11 (10)Alpha Mu, University of Washington: 19 (14)

Recruitment was also successful this fall through the ZBT recruitment recommendation network.Various alumni, parents, and fellow undergraduates shared names and contact information forstudents they felt would benefit from membership in ZBT, and whose chapters would benefit fromtheir membership. Many of these individuals are now a part of the ZBT Brotherhood, with somealready assuming roles of leadership to improve their chapter.

The Fraternity also focuses on expansion as a goal of the Strategic Plan. This fall, ZBT establishedcolonies at Temple University (Alpha Beta), the University of Buffalo (Zeta), and the University ofNorth Carolina­Charlotte (Beta Tau), welcoming about 50 men to the Fraternity as FoundingFathers. ZBT is one of the nation’s fastest­growing fraternities, and these individuals continue todemonstrate that campuses across the country can and will benefit from having a ZBT presence.Additional expansion and reorganization opportunities for the spring semester include the Ohio StateUniversity, University of Massachusetts­Amherst, SUNY­Stony Brook, Virginia Tech and more.

If you or someone you know is aware of a high­ quality undergraduate man that would benefit frommembership in ZBT at a campus where there may or may not be a ZBT presence, please be in touchwith the Executive Director Laurence A. Bolotin (University of Florida) ‘01. As the Fraternitycontinues to grow and reach new heights through successful recruitment and expansion, it becomesmore evident that it is great to be a ZBT.

Seattle Tribe

A special group of motorcycle enthusiasts havecome together in Seattle to share their love forthe machine and support their Jewishcommunity. Earlier this year, a pleasant surprisewas realized. They had something else incommon: ZBT. They are called the Seattle tribeand here is their story:

“Our Seattle Jewish motorcycle club is about 20members. Our founder, a Microsoft employee,was a Tribe member from Washington DC,moved to Seattle and organized a chapter in Seattle. Word got out and after five years they are stillgrowing. In addition to taking two rides a year of about a week each, the club is dedicated to doingmitzvahs within the Jewish community. Annual events include acting as ushers at the AnnualSeattle Jewish Film festival and sponsoring an annual picnic for the Seattle Jewish Adult DisabledSociety. Other events include Purim Festival booth (kids and adults get a picture sitting atop amotorcycle) and Jewish Pre­school Day.

The Seattle Tribe is one of about 50 Jewish motorcycle clubs in the US, Europe, Israel, and SouthAfrica. The club is a member of the Jewish Motorcyclists Alliance. The JMA annually sponsors a “Rideto Remember.” Hundreds of riders gather at a selected city. It is a fund raiser to maintain Holocaustawareness.

The picnic is especially rewarding as the disabled participants anxiously wait in the park picnic area.As 10­15 motorcycles round the bend and pull up to the curb, the disabled, their friends, andparents are applauding and smiling. Later, participants are invited to sit on a motorcycle, and wear aTribe hat. All involved have a great time.

A while back at the Tribe’s monthly Sunday morning coffee social, I mentioned toMyles Kahn, Alpha Nu (Muhlenberg College) ’84 that I was going to Denver for afraternity reunion. He said that he, too, was going to Denver. Turns out that we wereboth going to the same event, the Iota Chapter House re­ dedication at the Universityof Denver.

Myles is a member of the Fraternity’s Supreme Council. I am a member of the DU Phi Sigma DeltaFraternity, class of 1962. It was a pleasure to do my part for the reunion. I merely kept emailingand telephoning, urging members from around the country to attend. We had a grand time. Of thehighlights was seeing our class composites on the wall. Nearly a half century later, there we wereonce more peering into our old rooms, sharing stories and memories. Several of us brought alongpictures and souvenirs from the past. I brought a fraternity mug party favor and my Phi SigmaDelta pin that I’ve had all these years. I know that everyone of the 100 plus weekend participantshad memories to share. Now I would like to take you on a trip through the same winding roads and

trails that we, Seattle Tribesmen, havejourneyed on so many times before.

Sunday morning, I awakened at 7 AM tothe patter of rain. Augh. Eight a.m.

friend Bob Kaufman calls to beg off myinvite for his first motorcycle ride. JoshBeloff called the night before saying hehurt his back and wouldn’t be riding.Spousal unit in a semi stupor frombeneath the bed covers says, "It sounds like rain. Are you still going? I don’t get it." I,too, begin to have doubts.

Cuppa joe, banana laden cereal, uncover the machine, look upward at the slow movingclouds dispensing heavy mist, pull out the rain gear, put on the jacket and the full faceshield brain bucket, crank it over, take off.

Crossing I­90 eastbound, the mist becomes serious rain. Am riding in the slow lanesans rain pants. Jeans below the knees are wet. Crap. Pull into the parking lot. Onlytwo bikes.

Within minutes five riders show up and smiles around. Chit­chat as usual. Go for aride? Naw, let’s just sit it out and see what happens. An hour and half and two refillslater, overcast but no rain, three of us take off for the club sponsored picnic at ashelter in Seward Park. Two more bikes are waiting for us. Now there are five andminutes later another arrives. The photographer is awaiting, the disabled and theirguardians enthusiastically greet us. Some have Tribe hats on from last year.

Chabad reps in black, broad rimmed hats and long coats arrive with a portable sukkah.A little help from the Tribe and within minutes it is erected and decorated. We areperhaps about 40 persons in all under the park shelter. A young man named Shalomstands upon the wall and talks about Sukkot, etrog, and more. Food is served buffetstyle. The cake is decorated with the Tribe logo. Wow. The skies are clearing. Anotherwow. Tribe members, wives, visiting Tribe family, guardians, disabled, friends, guests,all friendly faces. Time to go. Another mitzvah and feeling good.”

The Story of the Oldest ZBT Initiate

In February of 2010, the National office was contacted by a man inquiring about the stepsnecessary for becoming an honorary member of ZBT. Upon further investigation it was brought tothe attention of national staff that he was a legacy whose father was initiated in the Alpha Chapterat CCNY. Later that year it was arranged for this man to be properly initiated by the brothers ofAlpha Pi at the University of North Carolina­Chapel Hill. What transpired could not have beenpredicted. Here is the story of a man’s long journey to become a member of ZBT.

“Hi! My name is Bill Tow. I am a ZBT and I am proud ofit. Why did I become a ZBT? It started many years agowhen my dad became a ZBT at the Alpha Chapter in1917. Let’s put on some speed and find 1963. That’sthe year I enrolled at a large Midwestern university witha ZBT chapter. I inquired about legacy admission andwas dismissed. I was attempting to acquire an MA inJournalism. The legacy requirements were gnored and itwas the first and only time I lied to my dad.

We are now in 2010, February to be exact. My wife of35 years, Judith, passed away in 2008 and I wonderedif I could attain honorary membership in ZBT. So I wrote. National received a letterasking me for my background which I immediately wrote and sent to National. Laterthat year I received a letter saying that I was accepted as an honorary member. Shortly after this letter I received my ZBT membership and membership card.

In May National called and told me that Alpha Pi (North Carolina­Chapel Hill) wanted tomeet me. The President of the chapter called and told me I would be picked up andtaken to the Chapter to meet the brothers. I marked the day on my calendar and satdown to re­read the Introduction to our Brotherhood and re­read it again and again. Itsuddenly dawned upon me that dad had brought me up according to all the precepts ofZBT. When the day came to meet my brothers, I was truly inspired by my dad’sadherence to ZBT’s precepts. But the best was yet to come that night. At the time Iwas to be picked up I was ready.

I arrived, the brothers were in the house and it was a great moment ofconviviality. Soon after I arrived the President of the chapter disappeared. I thought tomyself, “I’ve got bad breath!” One of the other chapter brothers re­appeared and tookme downstairs to a dark room. I was curious, anxious, and excited. The brother musthave realized I was restless as he did his best to calm me. I asked my brother, “Whatis going on?” He looked at me with a large grin and responded, “You are beinginitiated!”

I didn’t know what to say. I followed my brother into the ceremony and was initiated

as a brother of ZBT. I was overcome with emotions knowing that I had just taken partin the same ceremony my father did so many years back. I could now fully appreciatethe guidance and mentorship my father offered to me while growing up. A dream allmy life had finally come true. There I was initiated as a 74 year old ZBT Brother. Thatnight I was given the second highest honor in my life, surpassed only by the day of mywedding. It is more than a dream come true that I can now proudly say that it is greatto be a ZBT.”

The events that transpired on that May night went beyond impacting Brother Tow. Those inattendance witnessed one of the most unique events in the history of ZBT that could quite possiblybe exclusive to the Alpha Pi Chapter. The President of the time, Michael C. Black, took time torecollect the event and what it meant to his chapter.

“The brothers of the Alpha Pi chapter at the University of North Carolina at ChapelHill held an initiation ceremony for Bill Tow at our house on September 13 with all ofour brothers and faculty advisor in attendance. Brother Tow is certainly the oldestbrother we have ever had the privilege of initiating, but this initiation was also one ofthe most inspirational ceremonies the brothers had ever witnessed. Brother Tow’senthusiasm for all things ZBT is infectious, and the chapter couldn’t be more proud tocall him a brother. After the ceremony, Brother Tow received the nickname"Tortoise" from his big brother, faculty advisor Buddy Weissman (Xi Chapter, MIT), inecognition that though it took him many years, he finally won the race to become abrother in ZBT. Brother Tow shared a few words with the chapter, ncluding thefollowing, "Aside from marrying my wife, this is one of the most important events ofmy life." The value that Brother Tow places on his membership in the fraternity sets asplendid example of what it means to be a ZBT.”

On that day in May a man who was 74 years old was given an opportunity to share a part of hisfather’s past that he always dreamed of. Brother Tow’s long term commitment to our Fraternity isan inspiration to us all. That day this Fraternity welcomed into our rankings an incredible man whohas since been a great asset. The national staff have grown accustomed to the phone call fromBrother Tow with his signature voice that is both youthful and intelligent offering advice,improvements, and ideas to better this Fraternity. We thank Brother Tow as has truly embodied thefact that it is great to be a ZBT!

What Does Heritage Mean to ZBT

Z.B.T. was originally founded in 1898 as aZionist youth organization because Jewish menwere prohibited from joining fraternities duringthe late 19th century. In 1903, when Z.B.T.became Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity, it maintainedits focus and mission, serving as a way forJewish men to have a meaningful fraternalexperience. Since 1954, ZBT has proudlywelcomed into the Fraternity all men of goodcharacter who understand our history and seekto uphold and live by the Ritual, Mission, andCredo.

Part of the Mission of Zeta Beta Tau is to“preserve and cultivate its relationships withinthe Jewish community.” With this in mind, there are several events, programs, and partnershipsthat have already occurred this year on both a local and national level.

In line with the Mission of the Fraternity, the Supreme Council approved the adoption of MaccabiWorld Union (MWU) as an official national philanthropy for the Fraternity at the 2010 NationalConvention and Leadership School. Information about MWU is available here. Chapters and coloniesacross the country are encouraged to program with their local MWU organization as the relationshipcontinues to grow.

Additionally, ZBT is networking with various high school youth groups such as BBYO, USY, URJ, andNFTY across the country. The goal of developing these relationships is to prepare individuals for lifeafter high school by showing them ways to preserve their Jewish identity in college. Further, ZBTwill educate these students about the opportunity to continue their Jewish involvement on campusas a founding father or a new member of a ZBT chapter or colony anywhere in the country.

On campus, many chapters and colonies have already demonstrated their commitment and pride inthe history of ZBT through various events they participated in during the fall term.

At the University of Georgia, ZBT co­sponsored an event with Hillel at UGA that included a luncheonand speaker series for survivors of the Holocaust. The purpose of this event was to raise awarenesson campus about the tragedy and give students the opportunity to engage in conversations withHolocaust survivors, an opportunity they may never have had.

Zeta Alpha Colony at Florida State University co­sponsored a bagel brunch with Hillel as well. Theirpresence at these types of events allowed the Brothers to engage students in conversation aboutthe relationship between Hillel and ZBT, prompting several men to ultimately join ZBT.

The Alpha Beta Colony at Temple University has worked closely with Hillel on their campus

throughout the fall semester. The men utilize Hillel’s new facility for a variety of programs, includingrecruitment and social functions. They also have a strong presence at Hillel­sponsored functions,truly representing ZBT well and utilizing their relationship with Hillel to identify additional men whomay be interested in joining the Colony.

Bloomington, Indiana was the site of multiple anti­Semetic acts of vandalism this past semester. Inresponse to events, the Beta Gamma Chapter at the University of Indiana co­sponsored a rally withthe campus Chabad that featured the lighting of a 12­foot­tall Menorah. Several individuals spoke atthis event, including two ZBT undergraduates, a representative from Chabad, the Rabbi of a nearbysynagogue, and the Mayor of Bloomington. Several hundred students and community membersattended the event, which drew coverage from a local Fox News station. Free potato latkes andcandy were made available along with multiple tables for donations. All donations received wenttoward the restoration and/or replacement of various Hebrew texts that were damaged or destroyedthrough these acts. The purpose of the rally was to unite the entire Bloomington community,regardless of religion, age, race, creed, gender, and any other potential barriers.

Lambda Chapter at the University of Texas­Austin donated both time and money to the UTChabad. The men specifically sponsored a veryproductive Shabbat dinner after which the Rabbithanked the ZBT Brothers for their “strong ZBTpresence that contributed to the largest UTChabad Shabbat dinner ever.” Additionally,Lambda Brothers are on the undergraduateleadership boards of both Chabad and Hillel.

The recently­chartered Epsilon Mu Chapter at the University of Kansas participated in several Judaic­oriented events this past year. As has become tradition for the Chapter, they joined with KU Hillelfor the annual Rock Chalk Shabbat dinner, working as servers for the meal to roughly 400individuals.

At the University of Connecticut, the Delta Beta Chapter utilizes its partnership with the campusHillel as a venue to hold chapter meetings as well as several recruitment events each semester. Byincorporating Hillel in their program, this Chapter shows its prospective new members therelationship they have and the value ZBT places on its history. Lastly, the Chapter had manyBrothers participate in the Hillel Mentoring Program. For this program, men are charged withwelcoming and integrating a first­year student into the school community. This is a great way formembers to stay active in the Jewish community while increasing visibility for recruitment.

ZBT at Purdue University sponsored the Purdue Hillel “Welcome Back Cook­Out” at the beginning ofthe year as well as the first Shabbat dinner of the semester. Two Brothers were chosen to visitIsrael on a Birthright trip over the winter break.
