| As for Alpha Sigma... |
| Established in 1924, the Alpha Sigma chapter is host to some of the most active and high-achieving sorority women on Florida State University's campus. We're known for our diversity, visibility, and motivated attitude, making Delta Zeta a true stand-out at FSU. Take a look at some of Delta Zeta's involvement: Lady Spirithunters The Golden Girls Dance Marathon Chairpersons Student Government Senators Theatre Orientation Leaders Batgirls Golden Key Greek Ambassadors Cheerleading ...and many others. Delta Zeta has also seen much success when it comes to competing on campus: 1st Place: Dance Marathon 2001, 1999 1st Place: Homecoming Skit, 1998 2nd Place: Children's Miracle Network Lip Sync Contest 2nd Place: Kappa Sigma's Margaritaville Our accomplishments reach off campus, too: Intern at the Late Show with David Letterman Member of the Tallahassee Ballet Tallahassee Thunder Lightning Girls "Spring in New York" NYU Musical Theatre Program Every year, we contribute to our national philantropy by holding an event known as the Fratman's Classic. The fraternities of FSU are invited to compete in events such as tug-of-war, canoe races, and volleyball at the Seminole Reservation until one fraternity is named champion and gets to take home the coveted Fratman's Classic Oar. We also crown one fraternity man, who has proven himself to be an ambitious campus and Greek leader, Delta Zeta Fratman of the Year. Last year's recipient was Lamba Chi Alpha's Kevin Collins, and the previous year's winner was Delmar Johnson, Florida State University Student Body President. Speaking of fraternities, DZs also know how to have a good time, which is why we have numerous fraternity socials and date functions throughout the year. From Crush to Rosen Ball, Delta Zeta and our guests always enjoy themselves. We also participate in events like Greek Weekend, which involves all of FSU's and UF's Greek community. |

| And let's not forget our DZ families! When Florida State holds Parents Weekend, Delta Zeta has our own Parents Weekend, holding special meals and a football block with our visiting families. We get to share with our loved ones what we do while we're away at school and living the DZ lifestyle, and we get to let them know how much we appreciate them. |
