Back to the Future: Tradition, Reception, Legacy

COMPLETED SESSION
Facilitator: Alan van den Arend

How do we balance debts to our shared Fraternal past with the needs of our common institutional future?

In each instance, we will investigate the affordances and constraints which these frameworks provide for us as engaged members of both our local chapters and Zeta Psi internationally. Our object will be a richer and deeper connection with the Fraternity’s past, a stronger commitment to its present, and renewed vigor for building its future in the 21st century.
