ZBT would like to congratulate its departing Senior class on successfully completing their undergraduate careers. We wish them good luck on their future endeavors and hope to see them soon.

ZBT would like to thank all of its parents for coming to Brandeis and spending the weekend with us. We had a wonderful time with all of the parents and look forward to our Third-Annual Parents Weekend in 2008 next year.

This last weekend ZBT hosted its first Alumni Weekend in several years. Brothers from the last 20 years of the Epsilon Phi Chapter returned to Brandeis to visit the still growing chapter. We are excited to host another alumni weekend next semester and look forward to making this an annual event.

This last summer, two of our brothers, Jesse Goldberg, and Robert Geiman, endeavored to create a new ZBT table for our common room and future residence. Their table is now in a competition for best table of the month, against many others from other schools around the country.

Please help us out, we need your vote!!! Support Brandeis, Support Greek Life, Support Zeta Beta Tau!!!

This semester our chapter had our first annual parents weekend. We felt that it was about time that our families were given a chance to witness the choices we've made as we enter adulthood, as well as share our fraternal experiences with them. First, we held a reception for the brothers' families so that they could meet all of us and ask any questions that they might have had about the brotherhood. Next, the chapter took their extended family out to dinner, to Vinny T's. Every Zeeb contributes to the brotherhood by virtue of his character, which is built from his entire life experience. It was great for all of us to gain some insight into how we've arrived at this point, as Brothers of Zeta Beta Tau.

For the last three days, brothers pushed around a 6-foot circus ball, and asked students, faculty, and anyone who passed by to sign it. For every signature, our sponsors agreed to donate to the Children's Hospital of Boston in Waltham via the Children's Miracle Network, our national charity. Sponsors included Alldone.net, Chimblo Real estate services, and Kaplan. The event was a great success. All told, we acquired just over 2000 signatures, raising almost $2,500 dollars for the Children's hospital. As a brotherhood, ZBT is at the forefront of establishing a relationship between Greek life and the Brandeis community. Get on the ball is helping both the children of greater Boston and the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau move forward to a brighter future.
Check out these two articles on the event, published by Brandeis Newspapers:

With the help of staff, students, teachers, and brothers, ZBT has raised over $500 to help the Doctors Without Borders Foundation. The Doctors Without Borders Foundation is an internationally acclaimed charity organization that helps provide financial and medical aid to many countries around the world.
