Read More...Zeta Phi Rho is a brotherhood that extracts the full potential of its members and molds them into the leaders you see today. Leaders who are ready to contribute to society and make a difference. Leaders who remember those who have inspired them, and in turn will inspire others. Leaders who are known as the Distinguished Gentlemen of Zeta Phi Rho. Zeta Phi Rho is a young fraternity rapidly expanding in every direction - physically, structurally, strategically, culturally, philanthropically. We break fraternity stereotypes. Our 8 chapters in southern California, governed by our Distinguished Council, provide a huge network of brothers in constant communication with each other. We are a diverse group of brothers driven by our philosophy - commitment to character, leadership, academics, and the community.

A new year. A new decade. What better time to explore what it means to be a Zeta? BE EPIC.

[WHAT IS ZETA PHI SKID RHO?]Zeta Phi Skid Rho is the keystone annual philanthropy event for Zeta Phi Rho
Fraternity at the University of Southern California, Gamma Chapter. At this
Thanksgiving season event, we make lunches for the homeless living in the Skid
Row neighborhood of Los Angeles. Not only do we make a huge amount of lunches
for the homeless, but we also unite students from different interests together
for a great cause and consequently create awareness of the ongoing poverty in
Los Angeles.
This year we want to stress the importance of philanthropy not just as a
solitary event, but as a mentality to be adopted for a lifetime. We hope to
inspire people to live a lifetime of philanthropy by expanding our event into a
week-long affair intended to raise awareness for our cause.
It’s at Founder’s Park. Here is a campus map:

Also on April 15, 2009, Roberty May, Alex Tao, Vernon Roque (MGC Representative), and myself attended the Multicultural Greek Council end of the year banquet at the Bungalow Club on Melrose. The food was delicious and the venue was kind of exotic…hahaha
We were deeply honored when we received MGC FRATERNITY OF THE YEAR!!! I know there was fierce competition, so we really appreciate this award. In addition to the certificate distinguishing our award, we will also receive a Goblet like trophy where our fraternity name and 2009 will be inscribed. Each year, the trophy will be passed on to the MGC Fraternity of the Year. Of course, Zeta Phi Rho will be first on the trophy- I am sure we will have it for many years to come…
Vernon Roque also received an award: “Expert Sandwich Maker aka Most Breaded” for his efforts with Zeta Phi “Skid” Rho. He will be holding a number of workshops detailing the proper art of making sandwiches.
What a year!
On April 15, 2009, Izachar, Vernon and I attended the annual Community Service Awards Banquet Dinner hosted by the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences as well as Government and Community Relations. It was held at the Founders Room at the Galen Center.
It is a great honor receiving the USC Student Organization Volunteerism Award! For our efforts with Zeta Phi “Skid” Rho and our mentorship in Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters, we received a plaque and a $250 check to the nonprofit organization of our choice. We decided we will donate this money to Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters for their Bowl For Kids Sake event on April 25, 2009. During these economic times, we hope this money will contribute to sustaining programming and facilitating more matches.
Our USC Zeta Sisters are true warriors- TROJANS!
On April 4, 2009, the Zeta Sister Chair (me) and 6 Zeta Sisters: Samantha Chan, Chanel Honda, Kristin Jung, Christina Manh, Tina Sun, & Rachel Yuan went down to UCSB for the annual Zeta Sis Games to show who’s boss.
There were a number of games including tug-o-war, balloon popping, dodgeball, and an intricate relay race. We were victorious dodgeball champions!! Overall, we placed 2ND amongst all the chapters.
I commend our Zeta Sisters for giving their all; while other teams subbed Zeta Sisters, ours played just about every game.
Like I always say, USC Zeta Sisters are like NO OTHER!
Hope everyone had a safe, relaxing and fun spring break! On behalf of the brothers of Zeta Phi Rho Gamma Chapter I’d like to sincerely thank everyone who attended the dessert social at the Greenhouse on March 11th. Collectively we brought together a delightful variety of desserts, ranging from classic chocolate chip cookies to unconventional delicacies like homemade red velvet cake. The desserts combined with the light conversation and laughter that followed helped alleviate a lot of the midterm season stress many bros and sisses were experiencing.
However, amidst the lighthearted fun of the social, I wish to address the upsetting event that occurred near the beginning of the social. Four criminals were involved in the shooting of an LAPD officer. By the end of the night, all four criminals had been apprehended. Given that the Greenhouse was just blocks away from the scene of the crime, we saw the LAPD drive in searching for the suspects before we even knew what was going on. USC DPS did a good job of notifying students and members of the community, utilizing both texts and email to get the word out. I want to assure you all that the attendees of the social all stayed inside and were safe and sound, transforming otherwise wasted time into valuable bonding time over the critically acclaimed film, “Slumdog Millionaire.”
For those of you who weren’t able to make it to the social, don’t worry. We have a slew of events in the coming weeks including family-specific events, so stay posted! Spring break may be over, but the socializing isn’t. Stay safe everyone!
