Just ask Bryan Ferguson, president of the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity at the 溏心vlog免费B站.  <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe group took home four awards at last summer\u2019s national convention in Indianapolis, Ind., including the prestigious Brummer Cup, the award given to the top chapter in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Supreme Council of Zeta Beta Tau bestowed the honor on the 溏心vlog免费B站 chapter because it best represents the ideals upon which the fraternity is based. These include philanthropy, fundraising, brotherhood programming, and alumni relations. In addition, the fraternity also won three other awards, specifically for community service, alumni programming, and general chapter programming. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cI am so proud of how much a young chapter like us has done,\u201d said Ferguson of the Brummer Cup honor. Re-established in 2000, ZBT has quickly become one of the most recognized groups on the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus.  In the past year, the brothers have improved their alumni programming to include basketball tournaments, barbeques, and an updated alumni magazine. The brothers have performed more than 1,000 hours of community service including campus cleanups, raised more than $1,000 for charities, and signed up more than 200 individuals for absentee ballots in a voter-registration drive. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cZeta Beta Tau continues to serve as the role model for all current 溏心vlog免费B站 fraternities,\u201d said Thomas Dougan, 溏心vlog免费B站 vice president of student affairs. \u201cThey have had a positive impact on the entire Greek System.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tIt seems that the positive impact is rubbing off on prospective brothers. This semester ZBT has more than 30 candidates who are interested in joining the fraternity. \u201cWe offer them something they\u2019re looking for\u2026 friendship and camaraderie in a welcoming environment,\u201d said Ferguson, a resident of Pawtucket.   <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tZeta Beta Tau Fraternity, based in Indianapolis, Ind., has 71 active chapters throughout the country.
