 LOCK HAVEN, PA - On September 25, 2024, the Mu Zeta Chapter of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity at Lock Haven University showcased their creativity and community spirit by participating in the university's annual Homecoming Golf Cart Parade. The chapter's inventive float design and enthusiastic participation added a sweet touch to the festivities, embodying this year's theme of "home SWEET home." In just three days, the brothers of Mu Zeta transformed a standard golf cart into a charming ice cream truck, complete with Phi Mu Delta accents. This creative endeavor not only demonstrated the chapter's ingenuity but also fostered brotherhood through collaborative effort. Adam Ferry, a leader of the Mu Zeta Chapter, described the experience: "We had three days to decorate the cart along with the other clubs and organizations on campus. On the last day, we drove our cart in the parade through the main parts of campus. We threw out candy to other college students and local community members that lined the roads." The parade route took the Phi Mu Delta "ice cream truck" through key areas of the campus, allowing the brothers to interact with a diverse crowd of spectators. By distributing candy to fellow students and Lock Haven residents, the chapter spread joy and strengthened ties between the university and the local community. "We bonded through creativity and made lots of kids smile with gifts of candy," Ferry added, highlighting the dual impact of the event on both the fraternity members and the community. This participation in the Homecoming Golf Cart Parade exemplifies Phi Mu Delta's commitment to campus involvement and community engagement. It provided an opportunity for the brothers to display their Phi Mu Delta pride while contributing to the festive atmosphere of the homecoming celebrations. Sam Waltemeyer, Executive Director of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity, praised the chapter's initiative: "The Mu Zeta Chapter's participation in Lock Haven University's Homecoming Parade beautifully demonstrates how our brothers can combine creativity, teamwork, and community service. Their 'sweet' contribution to the event embodies the spirit of Phi Mu Delta and enhances the collegiate experience for all involved." Events like these showcase the positive impact Greek organizations can have on campus life and community relations. The Mu Zeta Chapter's involvement in the Homecoming Parade is just one example of Phi Mu Delta's ongoing efforts to foster strong ties between its members, their universities, and the surrounding communities. |
