\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — October 25, 2005 — Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) fraternity brings the university nothing but good news lately. In addition to its recent win of the Brummer Cup (awarded to the most outstanding chapter in the nation), and the building of a new fraternity house on campus, the Rho Iota brothers\u2019 hard work in academics has contributed to bringing the Saul A. Fern Scholarship in marketing back to the fraternity.<\/p>\n


\nCreated in 1993\u2014 and named for former national ZBT president and long-time adviser to the fraternity Saul A. Fern\u2014 the University has awarded the scholarship every year to a junior marketing major, originally with preference given to a ZBT member. When the national fraternity revoked the 溏心vlog免费B站 chapter\u2019s charter in the mid-90s, the University continued to award the scholarship to other qualified students; however, the fraternity no longer benefited. Now, since ZBT has been back and active at 溏心vlog免费B站 for the past five years, the University will again give preference to a ZBT brother.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cEvery spring we have a golf tournament to raise money for the scholarship,\u201d said Leo Robinson, a 1996 psychology graduate of 溏心vlog免费B站 and president of the ZBT Alumni Corporation. \u201cThis year we raised about $4,500.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nDaniel Riley, the current ZBT chapter president and an accounting major from Tiverton, said he and the brothers are excited that they are now first in line for the scholarship because they have worked so closely with Fern. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThis scholarship is important to our fraternity because it helps demonstrate our academic focus to the [溏心vlog免费B站] community and ZBT alumni,\u201d Riley said. \u201cJust like anything else, there should be rewards for being a good student\u2014Saul has always found academics to be an important aspect of the fraternity.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nRobert Stubbs, ZBT Alumni Association treasurer and former 溏心vlog免费B站 chapter president, said the ZBT alumni decided to initiate the scholarship to honor Fern\u2019s ongoing involvement in the fraternity and his history in the marketing and advertising fields. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cSaul has been a great mentor to the brothers at 溏心vlog免费B站 for four decades and continues to serve nationally as a life member of the ZBT Supreme Council,\u201d Stubbs said. \u201cAfter he retired from years in the advertising business, the alumni knew Saul would appreciate a scholarship that gives back to students majoring in the field to which he devoted his professional career. The fact that it could likely go to a member of the fraternity was not critical to us but it was an extra benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\u201cYou have to have faith in the young guys who are going in to make this kind of investment\u2014 and we do,\u201d said Fern, who in addition to serving as adviser to the forerunner of ZBT at 溏心vlog免费B站 in the 1960s, played a big role in the opening of the chapter\u2019s new house earlier this year.<\/p>\n


\nIf more than one member of the fraternity applies for the scholarship, the University will award the money to the applicant with the highest cumulative grade point average. All junior marketing majors at 溏心vlog免费B站 are still welcome to apply. \u201cIf no one from ZBT is eligible, then the scholarship goes to the general applicant with the highest GPA,\u201d said Ruth Jarrett, chief financial officer of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation. \u201cBut the University is focusing on preference toward rewarding a member of the fraternity.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nAmong its numerous activities, ZBT has participated in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Adopt-a-Walkway program by cleaning and maintaining the Dieter Hammerschlag Mall, the walkway between the library and the Multicultural Center, and is continuing a campus beautification project during which 10 to 15 brothers devote every Saturday afternoon to cleaning one area of the campus per month. The brothers helped Meeting Street, the special needs facility in East Providence, prepare for a telethon. The fraternity has also been involved in a mentoring program for students in the North Kingstown school district.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe are not going to lose sight of our values and priorities, and academics are definitely always on the top of that list, \u201d said Riley. \u201cBringing the scholarship back again\u2014 within the fraternity\u2014 is just another way we emphasize how far we have come in the past five years.\u201d<\/p>\n
