PARENTS' DAY
ACTIVE MEMBER SPOTLIGHT - JACOB FITZGERALD
Jacob Fitzgerald is a Senior Healthcare Marketing major from Petal, MS. A fun fact about Jacob is that he has not missed a Southern Miss home football game since 2002! He has been selected as our Active Member Spotlight because he fulfills all of his obligations as a Delt. Jacob is unbelievably busy with how much he is involved with the Fraternity and on/off campus. He currently holds positions on the IFC Executive Board, Southern Style, Guide, Student Government Association, and 2 year employee of Fastenal Company. As the Vice President of Public Relations for the IFC Executive Board, he is in charge of directing and delegating all marketing and public relations initiatives for the Inter-Fraternity Council. On Southern Style, Jacob was an orientation leader and assisted in recruitment and retention initiative for the University. While serving 2 consecutive years as the Guide, he oversaw the new member education, ritual education, and member education along with the duties of The Ritual. Jacob is also currently on SGA. For SGA he directs and delegates public relations and marketing initiative and assists in election duties during homecoming. He is truly an inspiration for the rest of the active chapter and the members that are yet to come.
POTENTIAL NEW MEMBERS
SPRING GRADES
The 2014 spring semester grade report was phenomenal! The Chapter GPA was an overall 3.067! We ranked 3rd out of the 9 fraternities in IFC. We missed 2nd place by only .02. Our Vice President of Academic Affairs, Jonathan Lawler, took it upon himself to encourage the chapter to push past boundaries and make better grades. Lawler had study sessions twice a week while actively checking on each member individually throughout the semester. The 2014 Spring pledge class had the highest ranked GPA average coming in with a remarkable 3.4! The Men of Zeta Chi worked tremendously hard for an increase in GPA, so we hope to see the Chapter's GPA only increase from here.
