Finding Comfort in Our Community
“In a cold world, you still need your friends to keep you warm.” (The Big Chill, 1983)

As we say goodbye to Coach Paterno, Penn Staters everywhere can take comfort in friends and in the deep sense of community that we are so fortunate to enjoy as Penn State alumni. Looking back, Joe played a role in the best times of our lives – from tailgating to Bowl trips to games at Beaver Stadium.

For many of us, they still continue to this day. Joe’s passing reminds us of what is most important in life: our lifelong connections to those who mean the most, including our brothers.

There are plenty of opportunities to celebrate being a part of the Penn State community with the friends you met there:

THON – February 17-19. You can honor Joe’s wish (a fraternity guy himself) by making a donation to this great cause.
2012 Annual Meeting and Get Together - March 31
Blue/White Weekend – April 20-22
Arts Fest – July 12-15

Annual Holiday Lights Tour
Alpha Zeta was recognized for its time and contribution to the community over the Christmas season. State College residents walked around Burrowes Street to view the Interfraternity/Panhellenic Council’s Annual Holiday Lights Tour. The fraternity was even featured in The Collegian for their outstanding decorations.

The house attracted several tourists with their unique exterior decorations. They set up a live Nativity scene complete with toga costumes and posed under a hut, recreating the night in Bethlehem. The designer of the nativity was senior, Dan Hartzell. He thought it would be cool to recreate the scene he saw at his grandfather’s farm. He wanted to affirm the true meaning of Christmas celebration. Alpha Zeta Chancellor, Shawn Beam said that decorating the house brought the members together by sharing ideas and in working together to make the house beautiful. He hopes for the Holiday Lights tour to become a benchmark that people can look forward to every year at Penn State and at AZ!
