Special - A Zete Abroad, Andy Webb in the Former USSR |
 |
Depending on who you ask, there are seven
Central Asian whose names end in 'stan'. These
remain some of the most war-torn, dictator-ruled,
inaccessible destinations on
earth and for that reason remain largely off the radar
of most Westerners. I recently returned from an
eight month stint living and working in two of these,
Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and was asked to write
up my experiences for the UpZete.
I was based out of Bishkek, the Kyrgyz capital of
roughly one million people, located virtually on top of
the Tien Shan mountain range. I was working there
as a researcher for an NGO, which is building
universities across three former Soviet states in
remote, mountainous locations.
There are a few impressions from my time there that
will stick with me forever. For example, right or
wrong, Central Asians remember the cold war and the
Soviet empire in a way very different than we do in
the West. Five of the Stans, including the two I was
in, were conquered by the Bolsheviks in the 1920s
and thereafter incorporated into the USSR until it’s
dissolution in the early 1990s. There are many in this
part of the world who remember the Soviet Union as
time of strength and prosperity, and of course the
facts don’t bear this out, but this group comprises
mostly an older generation whose formative years
were spent in the very controlled Soviet education
system which followed the Stalinist purges. These
are also the individuals most affected by the rampant
poverty in this part of the world.
The mention of Third World poverty tends to evoke
images of ravaged African states, but there are other
versions of this story, and I was witness to much of
it in Kyrgyzstan, which is one of the poorest
countries on earth. On every street corner in the city
you see “babushkas,” the Russian term for
grandmotherly women, begging for one-Som notes
(the equivalent of about two cents). The elderly in
the former Soviet periphery worked for decades
under the promise of a Soviet pension, which
evaporated with the USSR itself.
I should also note that I have a new respect for
foreign correspondents that go into the hot spots. I
tried to snap off a few photos during a political riot in
Bishkek and was rewarded with tear gas and noise
grenades.
For the better part of my time, I was anchored to
the city, either Bishkek or Almaty (which is a great
city by the way), but I did on occasion get out into
the mountains and countryside villages. As large as
the culture shock was for me, moving from Canada to
Central Asia, there was an even greater disparity
between city and country life in Central Asia. In a lot
of cases, especially in the summer, the locals
continue to live a pastoral life very similar to that
lived by their forefather a hundred years ago. They
live mainly off the land, they raise and sell sheep,
and entire families live in Yurts, which are not that
unlike Tepees (see photo). The main intrusion
of civilization into the Central Asian pastoral life is
vodka, which is everywhere, and is drunk by men
with everything. When I was up on a mountain
plateau pasture, we had vodka with every meal, and
a full bottle each time! Once you open a bottle of
vodka in this part of the world, you never re-cap it.
To cut the vodka, they also drink a lot of “kumiss”,
which is fermented mare’s milk. It tastes a lot like
you're drinking strong cheese.
I should say, before I sign off, that in an indirect way
I really have the Washington Scholars program, and
thus Admiral Carey, to thank for my ending up there.
My summer in DC was life-changing, and set me on a
an entirely new path, which led to grad school, my
stint in Central Asia, and eventually to my current
job at the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs in
Ottawa.
If anyone has any questions about my time abroad or
what I’m doing these days, don’t hesitate to get in
touch!

Executive Directors message: Manage the Risk |
 |
All of you know that risk management is a huge issue
in the fraternity world. Some feel we talk about it
too much, but the fact is we don’t talk about it
enough. Fraternities have proven to be risky
operations in the insurance world. The fact is
fraternities are the fourth riskiest entities to insure
behind toxic waste clean-up, asbestos removal, and
traveling carnivals. While we can be pleased that at
least we beat the Carnies, that we are even in the
top ten is ridiculous. Insurance companies base risk
(and thus insurance availability and premiums) on the
number of incidents and potential and actual pay-
outs. Fraternities have reached the rarified ranking
of number four because we have too many costly
incidents.
The sad thing about incidents in the fraternity world
is that many are easily avoided if common sense
could actually be common. The fact is, most
incidents involving fraternities come from bad
decisions, not unavoidable circumstances.
We Zetes pay a pretty large individual premium for
our liability insurance. The premium is high because
of the many incidents in the fraternity world and
because Zeta Psi has more than its equivalent share
of claims for a fraternity of our size. We can reduce
premium by doing two simple things – following our
Risk Management Policy and using common sense!
What is “risk management?” Simple – it’s “managing
your risk.” We all acknowledge that college students
engage in risky behavior from time to time. The best
way to limit risk is to have you sit in your room and
never do anything. That not being practical, we
need to identify where risk comes from and see what
we can do to reduce it. Our Risk Management Policy
derives from proven methods of reducing risk!
If every chapter follows the Zeta Psi Risk
Management Policy and uses basic common sense we
will reduce harmful and costly incidents, our
insurance premiums will go down, and we’ll be a
better fraternity. It’s all in our hands.

Update - Zeta Psi Lobbies for CHIA! |
 |
In recent months there have been nearly half a
dozen fires at fraternity houses - destroying
properties and taking the lives of students. Zeta
Psi has been fortunate that none of those fires was
at one of our houses and that no Zete's have been
hurt. YET.
LAST MONTH, we told you about the Fraternal
Caucus and GREEKPAC, and their efforts to lobby
congress to change the discriminatory tax laws that
are directly limiting our – and every fraternity’s -
ability to install this vital, life saving equipment. Our
goal is passage of the Collegiate Housing and
Infrastructure Act (CHIA), which will allow tax-
deductible gifts and assets to be used towards
critical fire-safety improvements for our student
housing.
THIS MONTH, we want to highlight what we’re
already doing as part of these efforts to make a
difference and SAVE LIVES! First, several Zete
Undergrads are participating in the annual North-
American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) Lobbying
program on capital hill this April 15 – 18.
Undergraduate leaders from nearly every Fraternity
and Sorority, along with their alumni leadership, will
be directly lobby congress on behalf of the CHIA.
Armed with intensive training from the NIC, these
lobbyists – including several Zetes, will help increase
support of this vital legislation. As an added benefit,
the Zete undergrad lobbyists will join in a DC Elders
Lawyers and Lobbyists Luncheon at the end of the
program.
In addition to being ‘on the ground’, Zetes also make
up a big portion of the organizing committee for the
Fraternal Caucus, and through the huge ‘inside the
beltway’ presence of the Washington Scholars, Zeta
Psi continues to be one of the leaders in this fight.
Stay tuned for more information on this effort in the
UpZete!
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Please take a moment
to register at the fraternal caucus website (by
clicking below) and use the website to send three
letters from your desktop to your Senators and
Member of Congress. This quick and easy effort on
your part helps us demonstrate the NATION-WIDE
support for this effort. It takes 5 minutes of your
time but can help save a life!

chapter in attendance along with both the Zeta Psi
Executive Committee and Zeta Psi Foundation Board
of Trustees, the headquarters staff, and guests.
Executive Director Dave Hunter spoke of what it
means to be a Zete and the chapter Phi, Austin
Carson, made comments on behalf of the chapter.
Phi Alpha Greg McElroy gave a heartfelt history of
Zeta Psi in the Southern United States and then
called all of the new brothers from Georgia forward
for the presentation of the Beta Sigma Charter. Zeta
Psi is back in Georgia for the first time since 1865!

Who Recruited you: Alan Levinson, Beta Tau '90 |
 |
Going to Tulane University in New Orleans in 1986
was a fantastic adventure for me. I arrived in my
new city, wide eyed at all the sights and sounds of
Bourbon Street and the French Quarter.
My father was an AEPi member during his college
years, and during Rush week I checked out that
house, but did not feel the same friendship or
camaraderie that was immediately apparent on the
steps of the Zete house at 716 Broadway.
Other Zetes (Brother Ed Sitts, and Eric "Rabbit"
Evans) have mentioned the diversity and genuine
friendship in their stories, and that was very true for
me.
It was only after attending several of the Zete Rush
events that week that I found 2 friends I
was "supposed" to meet on campus: Bill Joy, my
eventual Big Brother, is a family friend of one of my
high school friends back home in Maryland. David
Osofsky, my eventual Pledge Brother, and his family
know my grandparents living in Jacksonville, FL. Prior
to leaving for New Orleans I must admit I did not
even write down the names of the "family friends"
thinking it would be inconvenient or improbable that I
would meet them on campus, let alone become
lifelong friends and Brothers.
Now it is 20+ years later, and I still have fond
memories of my college days as a Zete. The pictures
posted on the Beta Tau web site from recent years
may show new faces, but the parties and good times
depicted are a constant.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
In Tau Kappa Phi, Alan "Big Cheese" Levinson, Beta
Tau, 1990

New Star Points Website & Awards! |
 |
The Zeta Psi Star Points program has launched its
website at www.zetapsi.org/starpoints, and all Zete
brothers are encouraged to visit. The same webpage
can also be accessed from the www.zetapsi.org
homepage under “service”. The page gives
information on Star Points, as well as contact
information for members of the Star Points
committee, tips for beginning Star Point as an
individual and as a chapter, and access to the
undergraduate manual. The program is designed to
improve upon the Zete experience and to help spur
personal growth throughout an active’s
undergraduate career, preparing him for the real
world.
Over the next few weeks, the first Star Points pins
for levels two to five will be awarded, along with
certificates for levels one to five. Each brother
achieving the full status of one of the points as
described in the manual will be able to wear the
respective pin of his current level at all formal Zeta
Psi functions including LTI and our International
Convention, as our ritual and tradition allow. For
more information on the pins, or to find out how to
receive one that you or a fellow brother has earned,
contact your Star Points Committee Regional
Representative or visit the Star Points webpage.
The best attitude that a chapter or brother
can take is to learn about Star Points by doing with a
focus on what can be accomplished “now”. Many
actives will be happy to find that they have already
completed most of the requirements for the first few
points, and can get credit for them right away. Star
Points Committee Regional Representatives are
available for more personal guidance in how to fit
Star Points into a particular chapter or into one’s
personal undergraduate experience.
Certainly there is a lot to gain from Star Points, and
the Star Points Committee is dedicated to making the
program a success.

Phi's Profile: Thomas Hranac, Omicron/Nebraska Wesleyan '08 |
 |
Profile by Rob Trombley, Xi/Michigan '05
Thomas Hranac, Omicron ’08, phi of the
Omicron
chapter has done an excellent job leading his chapter
this year. During the fall semester the Omicron had
outstanding recruitment, initiating 19 new brothers.
They had many great recruitment events including a
pig roast, a poker tournament, a dodge ball
tournament, and an awesome event known as Zete-
golf. Zete-golf has 18 holes marked by an x and
played with wiffle balls. They generally pair up into
groups of 4 mixing brothers and potential recruits,
allowing recruits and brothers to get to know each
other. Thomas believes that the recruitment training
sessions that Omicron alumni participated in were
pivotal to their success during recruitment. Upcoming
events for their winter recruitment include attending
a hockey game and laser tag.
Thomas was also recently involved in the
reactivation of the Lambda Psi chapter at the
University of Wisconsin. He and 13 other brothers
from the Omicron spent a weekend in Madison
initiating 8 new brothers into the bonds of Zeta Psi
fellowship. He said that it was a great experience for
many of the newly initiated brothers who were able
to participate in the reactivation.
This year the convention hosted by the Omicron will
be held in Lincoln, Nebraska. While some may not be
drawn by a convention in a small town, all who
attended the last convention there said it was one of
best. Zetes literally take the town over, and it is
impossible to walk down the street without running
into another brother. Thomas and the Omicron alumni
have been working hard to make the ’07 Convention
the best ever.

Alumni Profile: Curt Worsey, Tau Gamma/Purdue '80 |
 |
Profile by John Herzog, Alpha Epsilon/Illinois '07
Zeta Psi is committed to producing some of
the most
motivated, intelligent, and well rounded college
graduates on the continent. When describing the
accomplishments of board member Curt Worsey, this
is an understatement. Curt has shown a high level of
success in his professional career, and his
involvement with Zeta Psi over the past 26 years.
Upon graduating from college, Curt began working for
a business and IT consulting firm now known as
Accenture. Due to his attention to detail and
organization, Curt quickly climbed the corporate
ladder. In just eleven years, he became a partner of
the company. Curt said he enjoyed his time with
Accenture, and held his position until 2003.
During Curt's tenure, Accenture experienced
tremendous growth. When he began working there in
1980, Accenture was a local company in California.
Today, Accenture has offices in 49 different
countries. They are well known and respected for
their technology and outsourcing capabilities
worldwide.
Curt left Accenture after Twenty-three years and
has been enjoying his retirement. In addition to
leisure activities, Curt says that he likes finding
struggling businesses, and putting them back on the
right track.
In part, Curt contributes his success in the work
place to his membership in Zeta Psi. Curt joined the
Tau Gamma chapter during his sophomore year at
Purdue University. When asked about his time as an
active member, he explains that it helped him learn
how to be accountable for his actions. "I think it
gives you a sense of responsibility," he said. "A
fraternity is similar to a business. Everybody's got to
pull their weight. You have to recruit new guys, pay
your bills on time, and socialize with the members to
maintain brotherhood. I feel that these are skills you
don't get just hanging out at the dorms." he said.
While Curt was learning skills that benefited him later
in life, he was also enjoying his time at the Tau
Gamma chapter. "I made some of my best friends
through the fraternity." he said. "I had a few stand
up in my wedding, and I still keep in contact with
them as much as possible."
Today, Zeta Psi continues to play a significant roll in
Curt's life. He has been a board member for three
years. He is also the chairman of the strategic
committee. The purpose of this committee is to
insure that incoming money is used to educate
current and future members of the fraternity. This is
accomplished by offering several scholarships, as well
as funding LTIs for brothers across the nation.
Curt is also aware of current events at the Purdue
chapter. He expressed his enthusiasm about getting
a new house for their members soon. He also wants
to make sure that the Purdue chapter recruits well
and remains strong, just as it was during his college
career.
Clearly, Curt Worsey is incredibly successful. He has
a model work ethic and his devotion to his endeavors
is second to none. Thanks to his current
contributions to the education board and the Tau
gamma chapter, he is insuring that a future
generation of Zetes will experience similar good
fortune.

A Valentines Day Message from our Phi Alpha CXXXI |
|
At the request of our ubiquitous UpZete Editor, Dan
Backer, I will address the theme of love on this
holiday. In that context, I will address four common
expressions of love: familial, carnal, tough and
brotherly.
Familial love is what we are all born into and the type
of love over which we have little or no control. The
love that each of us has as sons of parents knows
no limits, as the life that was given to us on this
planet would not have been possible without the
union of our fathers and mothers. Many of us also
experienced the love of our bothers and sisters in our
families, as well as many of our other relatives. The
bonds of familial love are strong and real—from crib
to grave for most of us—but can also be divisive and
even become cause for much strife and the flip side
of love, which of course of is hatred. Hopefully, that
flip side is rare.
Carnal love, the kind most commonly viewed as
embodying what we are conditioned to believe
is “Love” by Madison Avenue and the creators of
Valentine’s Day, is physical love. It is in this context
that the term “making love” was conceived. When
one is fortunate enough, like I have been, to find
that perfect match within one’s life quest, carnal
love can and often does develop into an emotional
bond between two human beings that is stronger
than any other love relationship that can exist, one
that can also be characterized as “True Love”. It is
my hope that many of you reading this enjoy that
special kind of love in your lives.
Tough love is a tricky one. It typically requires the
giver of love to create an adversarial set of rules or
circumstances directed to receiver of that type of
love. Animosity then can result, often turning into
hatred. This type of love most often manifests itself
between parents and children, as when parents
withhold privileges from their children for
transgressions, possibly even forced removal from
the family unit for more egregious acts. But those
sanctions can and often are removed when or if the
transgressor shows that he or she can conform to
acceptable standards of behavior. Tough love also
happens at the fraternity chapter level when a
member is incapable or unwilling to adhere to rules,
regulations and propriety of his fraternity chapter,
and he is asked to leave the chapter or have his
membership taken away.
And there is brotherly love, the kind that fraternity
membership can and should be. It is that love which
is expressed in our rituals, practices, our motto and
in real fact when this experiment of fraternity
brotherhood is done right, as should always be the
case. This kind of love is not of course the same
as “being in love”, as that is the purview of
Valentine’s Day themes. But few of us who have had
the privilege of true brotherly love can doubt that
that we have in fact loved our fellow Zete Brothers.
Witness the part that fraternity brothers play in the
turning points of one’s life: weddings, family
celebrations and funerals. I have been fortunate
enough to have loved many Zete brothers during my
nearly forty years since I was initiated—not only from
my own Phi Chapter, but from so many other
chapters throughout the USA and Canada. To many
of these Zetes, I have said the words “I love you”
without embarrassment, because brotherly love is
every bit as important to me and others as those I
have listed above, though different from the love of
my wife and children, as well as the many relatives
within my immediate family.
At this year’s Valentine’s Day, allow me to express
my brotherly love to all those who, like me, have
been fortunate enough to experience loving
relationships through their lives, both personally and
through our Zeta Psi fellowship. But to those who
haven’t yet purchased Valentine’s Day cards, flowers
or candy, or other expressions to those with whom
you are “in love”: get it done; the clock is ticking!
In the bonds of brotherly love in Tau Kappa Phi,
Greg McElroy, Phi Alpha CXXXI
