NEWEST STORIES
Good Eats
A new partnership with Homestead Bakery is a huge success for the Spring 2022 school year. Lunch and dinner are provided to each of our members during the school week. This assures we will are fueled up to continue our great successes in both academics and in the classroom!
Goodie Bags
During the Fall 2021 Finals Week, many members found the time to make goodie bags to hand out to deserving Baker faculty and staff. We wanted to make sure they knew their hard work did not go unnoticed.
This concluded a record-breaking semester of service for the men of Zeta Chi as they managed to collect almost 200 hours of serving the community!
Something to love about our fraternity is the fact that we take our studies seriously. You can catch many Zeta Chi men scattered across campus during the day making sure they stay on top of their school work!
OLDER NEWS
We welcome some great additions to the family!
During Brotherhood Week of Fall 2020 the active chapter was able to join together and paint a new coat in Front Room, all the way up to the Country Club lobby. Thanks to teamwork, organization, and amazing planning by our House Manager Liam Barnsby, we were able to finish the job in less than five days!
Back to Back Champs!
On November 7, 2020, the men’s cross country team defended their conference title from a year ago and won the title again on their own course! In total, there were five Zeta Chi’s that earned medals and All-Conference honors. Sophomore Jackson Caldwell was the individual champion, with freshman Caleb Wright, junior Jacob Cofer, senior Liam Barnsby and junior Ty Packard finishing 6th, 8th, 9th, and 15th in the conference. This was more than enough to win by a huge margin and earn another trip to the national meet in April, where Wright, Barnsby, Cofer, Packard will be joined by junior Maxx Bradley and compete for a national championship!
On October 24, 2020, the active chapter of Zeta Chi participated in our first ever Walk-A-Thon for Children’s Mercy. Starting at 4am, and ending at 5pm, the men of Zeta Chi relay walked from 903 Eighth Street to the front steps of Children’s Mercy Adele Hall Campus. With the help of generous donors, we were able to raise 2525.25 for Children’s Mercy! In addition to that, our Crewnecks for a Cause campaign earned $300, for a grand total of $2825.25 that will be donated to Children’s Mercy Hospital! Without the help of the active chapter, alumni, family and the Baker community, we would not have been able to make this happen!
On November 3, 2019, the active chapter of Zeta Chi had the privilege of initiating six new members into the Brotherhood. In the front rows, from left to right is Jackson Caldwell, Neill Bates, Simón Santiago, Kysn Paepke, Jezeriah Simpson, and Adam Miles. Congratulations men and welcome to Zeta Chi!
On October 18, 2019, Zeta Chi hosted our annual Boohaha Halloween party at the house. There were so many great costumes on display that night.
