I hope you have heard the great news of Missouri State University accepting applications for new colonies. This is the opportunity we have been looking/working for since the start of the Association. Our guest speaker this year will be Regional President Larry Eby. Larry is very familiar with the colonization process and Zeta Chi. He will bring current information on our situation. This will be a very informative meeting for the future of Zeta Chi.
