Dear Brian,
Tackling problems with chapter development
(recruiting, retention, projects, fundraising, etc.)
looms large over many officer teams. I spoke
recently with a dedicated officer team from the
Oregon Chapter about how to keep the chapter alive
and breathe some life into its future. Read a
summary of the discussion on the AZ
blog.

| Wearing your AZ pin |
|
|
Purdue Chapter Advisor Gary Steinhardt resently
asked: What is the proper way to wear the AZ badge?
Like many fraternal organizations, Alpha Zeta has a
pin, which is the gold letters A and Z, and a badge,
styled after the fraternity crest (see right). The
pin should be worn on the lapel; however, the badge,
should be worn on the left side of your chest above
your heart.
At the minimum, members should wear their pin or
badge to formal AZ events and new member initiations.
