It’s an exciting year at Zeta Deuteron! September 23, 2017 We are celebrating our 150th anniversary of the chapter for this entire school year 2017-2018! This chapter was founded on February 29, 1868. The ZD brothers bought this house in 1921. It has gone through a lot of changes, but ZDs have been on this property since then! We began the summer 2017 by hosting the brothers of WKU in July for the second year as they rode bicycles from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer’s. Alexander Lockhart Nelson house picture from 1927 as it looked when Fiji bought it. He was a math professor while Robert E. Lee was president of what was then Washington College. Young Alumni Weekend on Saturday, Sept. 16. Following the next day with our 21st annual Neighbors Picnic thanking the community for being patient living by a fraternity. October 6-7 is Parents and Family Weekend. All of Lexington is alive with parties, games, dinners and other events welcoming those who make it all possible. Our new event will be on Saturday November 4 when we honor older ZD alumni at The R.E. Lee Hotel with dinner and dancing beginning about 6pm at the house and moving to the hotel from 8midnight. The cost if $40 per brother which includes one guest! We can take cash, check or charge/debit. Please R.S.V.P. All funds will be used to enhance our 150th year-long celebration with surplus going to new sports equipment, furnishings and household expenses. SAVE THE DATE – Our year-long celebration culminates the weekend of April 26-29, 2018. While there are many activities and separate class functions that weekend, we will be here so please come by! That weekend is W&L Alumni Weekend, ZDs annual Norris Pig Dinner and now our 150th anniversary celebration with lots of live music and food. Every additional donation, large or small, counts! \r\nWe’re looking for photos, certificates, memorabilia that we can scan, photo or copy to add to our ever-increasing memory books! We especially need items prior to the 1984 fire. We’ve made banners to hang and to sign. All brothers visiting during this school year, please sign the banners with the white background, your year and a little note if you’d like. In the meantime: • Watch for our ever-evolving Facebook, LinkedIn, website and newsletter updates. • Make sure you have your updated contact information to me or to the W&L Alumni Office. • Tell us what we can do to make this event the best it can be! Please contact me, or any of your ZD brothers for more information.
