After completing pledge education, bonding as a class, and raising $165 for the ASPCA, the Zeta class was initiated by the Olynthius Chapter on November 19, 2016. The class included 18 brothers, including honorary brother Roberta Buckberg. They’ve already begun making their mark on the chapter, and we can’t wait to see what these amazing brothers do next!
