As Alumni VP of the Zeta Sigma Chapter, it just occurred to me that this is
my chance to start a Zeta Sigma Alumni Association. Ever since pledging at
the beginning of Fall 2001, I have contemplated this idea, especially being
Historian (which suited me naturally). A list obtained somewhere along the
line lists 269 Brothers, of whom 12 have bad addresses. Since their chapter
numbers are low and/or I know them to be early members, those are probably
deceased. 134 are in Delaware or Maryland, with the rest in NJ, PA, & NY,
predominantly. We just crested the 603-Brother mark. Many of the remaining
300-some are available from yearbooks (I've done that) in name, but how
would I find them? One of our restarter alums has maintained contacts with
many, but there may still be gaps.
Anyone who has started an Association in a predominantly male but
balancing-out (it should take several decades at least) chapter, or anyone
with experience in getting involvement going in a new Association, please
contact me.
Zeta Sigma restarted in Spring 2001 as a co-ed chapter & recently initiated
its 7th female Brother (2 transfers in the previous regime bring us to 9).
In LFS,
Michael Gallagher
Zeta Sigma Historian & Alumni VP
