Hello Readers!I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving break and is not ready to pull their hair out from stress! Only a month has gone by since the last post and
SO much has been happened. Zeta Pi knows how to keep busy and have fun while doing so!
First off,
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PI PLEDGE CLASS ON BEING INITIATED! We are extremely thrilled to have them as apart of our brotherhood and we look forward to what they have to contribute to the fraternity.
As part of the pledge experience,one of the requirements is to make a
"family tree" with of your Delta Sigma Pi family and present it to the big. It was a way for the pledges to see their family lineage and to see where they fall in the family tree.
Pictured below is Kat Kendrick being presented her tree by her little, Megan King. 
One of the most highly anticipated events of the semester occured on October 21 at Moriarty's Pub.
DATE PARTY was a way for brothers to get dressed to the nines and have a fun time out on the town! The Social Events chair Bill McCann did a top-notch job planning the event, and it was definitely a night for all that attended to remember!
Brothers from the Fall '09 Xi Pledge Class having a blast at Date Party!Another fun event that gave the seniors the opportunity to enjoy one another's company while sampling delicious cheese and wine was the
Wine and Cheese Night hosted by the C8 girls Kaitlin McDermott, Katie Perst, Amy Failing and Maura Gilligan. It was a great way for the seniors to take a night off of Policy meetings and to enjoy one anothers company!
Brothers Laura Bienkowski, Mariel Edwards, Adrianna Exler and Annie Fritz are enjoying some Kerrygold and Franzia!One way that Zeta Pi raises money to put on these fantastic events is by the way of the
Delta Sigma Pi Guest Bartending at Bayou and Cactus in Manayunk! DSP's finest ladies come out to hand out shots and keep the beers coming for all of the thirsty and paying customers (and boy do they pay). Thanks to the VP of Fundraising Mariel Edwards, the Bayou event is one of our most high-earning fundraisers and without her organization and everyones enthusiasm, we would not be able to put on most of the events that we do!
Brittany Yurkoski and Danielle Smith handing out shots in support of DSP!Finally! Low and behold, the night pledges and brothers alike were anticipating since the beginning of the semester! Initiation was held on
Friday November, 20 and as usual, our Chancellor Adriana "Nani" Exler did a superb job of preparing the initiation team and making sure the ceremony went as planned. Of course, the post-initiation festivities were a night for all to remember. It was a great way to bond with the new brothers and it was a fun time for all. Thank you Megan Kotalic for hosting the event!
Brothers enjoying the post-initiation festivities!Even though the semester is just about to come to a close, here are some of the events occurring for the remaining few weeks!
PRETZEL SALES AT THE NEXT HOME SJU BASKETBALL GAME! Support DSP by purchasing pretzels at one of the numerous pretzel stands located around the Hagan Arena!
FORMAL-DECEMBER 10! The most popular brother event of the year! Stay tuned for pictures!
Until next time!
Fraternally,

After recruitment week, we're very excited to expand the chapter with 17 new pledges.
Brothers have also been busy participating in numerous events. We had a great turnout for Philly LEAD this year and everyone had fun learning all about DSP in the city of Brotherly Love. We've hosted professional events and even got to see some familiar faces (DSP alums) back on campus to speak about their professions. 
Behind the scenes, the executive board has been hard at work planning events and coming up with ideas to make this semester the best yet. We've had a yummy fundraiser at Kiwi yogurt and guest bartenders showing their support at the Bayou. Coming up there we are making plans for wine and cheese, date party, senior's night, and formal.
