new sponsor for the event after zetes was convicted of violating the uni versity code of conduct at a hearing that took place march 9 i had a luncheon with zetes on friday and by that time we knew they would be off-campus next year cohen said he met with representatives of theta delt earlier this month about the possi bility of the fraternity sponsoring the good scholar election charlie dyreyes 00 said theta delt was approached by cohen because of their history of philanthropy we've had a pretty good service record in the past dyreyes said we've held a lot of philanthropic events cohen said theta delt was an appro priate candidate for several reasons they were there at a time i was looking around and they really raised a very substantial amount of money in previous elections he said cohen pointed out that in the three years theta delt has participated in the good scholar election the fraternity has raised about 3,000 each year in comparison most other fraternities and sororities raise 200 to 300 per year dyreyes was enthusiastic about theta delt's sponsorship of the event it's a very good thing he said we will continue with the great tradition that zetes started and hopefully
