It’s moving-in time at the Tau Zeta house. With the freedoms of summer over and the start of a new school year around the corner, we are all very happy to be back in Pullman. The excitement of meeting new members and catching up with old ones sweeps through the house. Eagerly we wait to see what will happen next.
Fire Truck
Arguably the most exciting improvement to Tau Zeta is the souped-up fire truck. For the last three years the fire truck sat unused in our parking lot. Repairs were made last semester and continued into the summer for the fire truck. With new parts and a fresh-looking paint job, the fire truck is worth showing off. It’s not unusual to see a group of Tau Zetas piled on the fire truck driving around Pullman. We are very happy that it’s running again. We would like to extent a thank you to all alumni who donated to help make the fire truck run again.
Homecoming
This year’s Homecoming BBQ will be extra special because it will be the official unveiling of the fixed-up fire truck. This achievement could not have been done without the financial support of Tau Zeta alumni. We will also present a plaque that will be mounted on the fire truck of the top alumni donors.
The BBQ is set for Saturday, October 9th at the Tau Zeta house. Online invitations will be sent out shortly with more details. Tau Zeta alums and their families are strongly encouraged to come out. The BBQ is guaranteed to be a fun time.
Recruitment Update
Thirteen freshmen have signed with Tau Zeta over the summer and are now settled into the Tau Zeta house. This new batch of freshmen is full of promise to continue the Tau Zeta legacy. Members are still working on recruitment to increase our numbers over the fall semester. We have invited potential new members over to the house for BBQs, volleyball games, and other social events in the hopes of signing others. The official informal recruitment process starts next week. We hope to add another handful of members. If you know of any WSU freshmen that would make a good Lambda Chi, please contact Brother Sweeney at (253) 880-2319.
House Renovations
Throughout the summer and last week projects were undertaken to improve the overall appearance of the Tau Zeta house. These include: repointing of the bricks, new tiles placed on the chapter room floor, repainting of game room, new chapter room doors, insulation put in the attic, a drainage system installed in the volleyball pit, and new bark set in the flower beds. Additionally, tile Lambda Chi letters will be placed on the stoop entry way next week. These renovations have massively improved the look and feel of the house. From the outside, the Tau Zeta house looks like one of the better houses on Greek row.
As we progress into another year, we are thankful for the guidance and support of our alumni. We take pride in knowing that we are Lambda Chi’s and the place we live in is filled with deep history and tradition. Through our recruitment process, fire truck repairs, and house renovations we hope to continue the rich tradition of Tau Zeta.
