Zeta Beta Tau - Founding Father Testimonials
Here are what a few of our most recent founders have had to say about their experience:
- “My experience being a Founding Father has been the most rewarding one of my life. The lessons and skills I have learned through this experience are ones that will be applicable throughout the rest of my life. Among the plethora of great things that have happened since I became a Founding Father, arguably the most rewarding one is knowing that I have left a legacy at New York University.
Corey Brill, President and Re-Founder, Gamma Colony at NYU
- “Becoming a Founding Father has allowed me to take part in much more than just a traditional "fraternity experience." As the Alpha Mu Chapter's inaugural President, I have been fortunate enough to take part in all stages of our organization's development, from colony recognition to our soon-to-be chartering. While other students at UW become pledges and eventually executive officers by their junior or senior years with one of the other 30 houses on campus, our 11 Founding Fathers were forced to take on valuable leadership positions from day one as full and equal brothers (mostly as freshmen). As a third year business student at the University of Washington, the entrepreneurial, sales, delegation, and time management skills I have developed over the past few years have propelled me far beyond the capabilities of my classmates. Similarly, the listing of "Founding Father" on my resume has proven to be the main topic of conversation at all of my interviews. I would highly recommend all qualified candidates to take advantage of this extremely rare opportunity, as it allows you to leave a lasting legacy at your college or university.”
Bryan Kornswiet, President and Re-Founder, Alpha Mu at Washington- Seattle
- “Being a Founding Father has been one of the most surreal moments of my life. The whole experience was an adventure from working to find a solid group of fifteen guys and recruiting many more to October 9th, 2007, our initiation date. Nothing has come comparable to the emotions that I felt on the day of our initiations, and my life has been different ever since that date. This brotherhood has been a place where I can feel comfortable with every individual where we treat each other as a family. The experience as a founding father has been so extremely special and rewarding that I will remember this time forever.”
Jason Krane, President and Re-Founder, Gamma Lambda at Hartford
