EAST Syracuse university 1980's Top Chapter continues "Onward and Upward" The Brothers of Delta Zeta Chapter, at Syracuse University, extend greetings throughout the House of Alpha. The past few years have been very good for our chapter. Working hard together, in the chapter's tradition, to make accomplishments and achieve our fraternal objectives has paid off. We were chosen Eastern Regional Chapter of the Year for two consecutive years (1979 and 1980), and attained the much coveted "College Chapter of the Year" award at the 74th National Convention in Chicago. Delta Zeta is continually striving to uphold the ideals of manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind which constitute the very foundation of our House. Bringing in good Brothers (since our reestablishment in 1973 on the S.U. campus), and preparing them to assume leadership roles has been and will continue to be our tradition. In keeping with our fraternal goals of scholarship and service, the Brothers of Delta Zeta implement a comprehensive calendar which reflects the same. First, summer activities included voter's registration drives, car washes, conventions, etc. The Fall semester brought the "Oh! Alpha Day" Block Party. The Block Party, held in opening week of the school year, is an event used to welcome incoming and returning students alike. It features live entertainment and exhibitions, along with displays by various student organizations. On Parents' Weekend there is the
annual Fashion Show. Last year's show titled "Spectrum International — A Bazaar of Fashion & Dance," proved to be a success. The show revealed stunning fashions created by designers from Syracuse University, the Syracuse community, the Boston area, and area stores. The show also introduced talented individuals from the campus and community who modeled clothes from the various sources, as well as members of a creative dance troupe. The Spring brought our third Minority Career Conference. The major purpose of the conference is to provide career-seeking minority students from Syracuse University and other area campuses an opportunity to interact with recruiters from various companies. Workshops are also provided to orient students to campus services, career preparatioin and career awareness. The Conference is then followed by a Cultural Night featuring performances of cultural significance. Spring will also bring our tenth annual Founder's Day and Sweethearts Ball (in April) at the Hotel Syracuse. The Ball is the highlight and culmination of our activities for the academic year. Here, the annual Paul Robeson Scholarship is awarded to a Syracuse high school senior. Other awards are given to Brothers and sweethearts in recognition of academic achievement and their sacrifice to the Alpha spirit. Throughout the year the Chapter usually gives several benefit parties and other fund raising projects. Individually, the Brothers of Delta Zeta are also involved in numerous community services and activities. The social and service activities sponsored by the Chapter throughout the years and those still to come, demand an untiring commitment on the part of the Brothers. Yet, the
