In the past 5 months the Delta Zeta Chapter has participated in numerous volunteering activities which include The Go Far race, High point University’s Halloween Carnival, and The Special Olympics. The Go Far Race is a 5K race for children and adults to encourage them to be more active. The Delta Sigs handed out water to the runners and congratulated the runners at the finish line. The High Point University Halloween Carnival is an event that the University holds to give out candy to the children of all the surrounding elementary schools during Halloween. At the Halloween carnival the Delta Sigs handed out candy to the elementary school children that came. The Delta Sigs also congratulated children at the special Olympics event as the arrived.  The Chapter currently has 13 Pledges.

With more college campuses across the country going tobacco free, today’s younger generation has fewer places than ever to light up. The latest school to go ’smoke-free’ is High Point University. Starting June 1st, the school’s campus, indoors and outdoors, will be smoke-free. Students will be forced to leave campus to smoke. The ban shouldn’t come as a surprise to students because smoking has been banned inside residence halls and buildings for years.

The Delta Zeta Chapter, at High Point University - in conjunction with the University - has established the Delta Sigma Phi Scholarship Fund. The Chapter’s focus on scholastic achievement continues and each year, a Delta Sig undergraduate will be awarded $1,000 towards their Tuition. The recipient will be chosen by the Alumni Association, based on academics, need, and service to the Fraternity. We have received $5,850 of the $20,000 required to establish the Fund.  Contributions can be made directly to the University, in the name of the Fund by contacting Nikki Hayes at nhayes@highpoint.edu or 336.841.9044

We thought that you would like to know that all day today (Tuesday, September 16, 2008) the host and crew of Good Morning America Weekend (ABC TV) were on the High Point University campus doing a piece on HPU for this Saturday’s broadcast.   The show will air from 8am to 9am (EDT) on Saturday morning (check your local listings to confirm the time in your area).  High Point University has been in the news lately a lot—US News and World Report, Forbes Magazine, CBS Evening News, Fox TV, NPR, and the Associated Press.

This site can reunite fellow classmates who graduated from High Point University. It’s a great way for everyone to say hello.

Dear Alumni Brothers,

Sorry it has been a long time since our last letter; we have all been busy and getting adjusted back to school. We would like to thank all of you who attended our 50th Anniversary was a great success and it was great to see you all. We are pleased to inform you that we currently have seventeen Brothers, four Pledges and we are expecting a large spring class. The University has gone through many changes since you have been back, the campus looks great. Presently we have two brothers living in our new campus owned house at 802 Woodrow Ave, this is located directly across from our old house. The majority of the other brothers live on campus.

As you may know or may not have heard, our large sphinx that has been on campus since 1957 was stolen and destroyed by Marketplace management. That sphinx was created by a Beta Lambda Alumni brother who worked for High Point College at the time. The employees of Marketplace management have admitted to taking it and there excuse was “It was in our way.” They took our property with out consulting or even telling the University or the Chapter. We have asked the University for some help regarding our sphinx and are awaiting their response.  We are now pursuing legal matters regarding the theft. We would really appreciate any help possible; we will keep you informed with more information once we receive it.

Seeing over 200 Alumni in High Point to celebrate 50 years of Delta Zeta achievement was an overwhelming experience. I have to say that I have not been involved with a more rewarding project. Over a year of planning and involvement from numerous volunteers ended in a truly memorable weekend.

I hope the next 50 years are as rewarding as our first 50 years.
