THE ALUMNI AND PARENT NEWSLETTER OF THE IOTA CHAPTER OF ZETA BETA TAU OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER Carson Lance, New IFC Director at DU, Visits Iota Chapter Carson Lance joins the University of Denver after spending seven years of fraternity/sorority advising in the Midwest and East Coast. He has been advising fraternities and sororities since his graduate school days at Bowling Green State University, and has served as a profes- sional staff member at Northeastern University and College of Charleston. Carson brings with him knowledge and skills in develop- ing leadership curriculum, creating risk reduction practices and strate- gies, planning large-scale events, developing organizational conduct polices, and advancing social justice within fraternity/sorority commu- nities. He joined Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) at Ball State University and serves as a facilitator for FIJI's health and safety programs, as well as a committee member tackling hazing and reimagining the member experience. Carson is excited to lead the DU fraternity/sorority community with the support of students, advisors, housing corporations, FSL graduate staff, house directors, and stakeholders.
In this role, Carson is prioritizing the following: 1) build a founda- tion, 2) do no harm, 3) simplify the chaos, 4) measure the impact, and 5) vision the future. Each of these priorities will be carried out via programming, col- laboration, policy work, process development, resource manage- ment, and accountability. The fraternity/sorority community is also positioned differently at DU than in years prior. The commu- nity is officially housed in the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life (overseen by Carson), which is its own standalone office. This means fraternity/sorority is no Sam and Geoff Lasin (underclassmen) along with Alumn Jim Ehrlich ‘77 longer part of the Office of and new DU Pioneer hockey coach David Carle. Student Engagement. This pro- vides some great opportunities to be flexible, intentional, and strategic under this new struc- ture. Lastly, Carson supervises two graduate students: second- year Noah Reetz (Panhellenic advisor) and first-year Dakota Burton (IFC advisor). He provides support to both of the Panhellenic and IFC communi- ties but serves as the primary advisor for the Multicultural Greek and National Pan-Hellenic Councils.

THE ALUMNI AND PARENT NEWSLETTER OF THE IOTA CHAPTER OF ZETA BETA TAU OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER Letter from ZBT’s International President
As your International President, I have had the pleasure of traveling North American in support of our his- toric fraternity. To date, I have traveled almost 80,000 miles and visited with the leadership and brothers of almost 40 chapters and colonies; including Iota. If asked to summarize my vision for Zeta Beta Tau, it would be a fraternity without borders and divisions. Too often I hear undergraduates refer to fraternity staff and leadership as “Nationals”. This is unfortunate because we are all brothers and we are all committed to having the best fraternity possible. Similarly, we are all guilty of thinking of our chapter as being “the fraternity”. Our fraternity is our 140,000 brothers. Our fraternity is our 87 current chapters and colonies. Our frater- nity is all of our former chapters and colonies. Our fraternity is Phi Alpha, Kappa Nu, Phi Sigma Delta, Phi Epsilon Pi and Zeta Beta Tau. My vision for the fraternity comes from your own Iota Chapter and our Beta Alpha Theta Chapter at the University of Colorado. Your annual football game that had gone dormant was the type of brotherly bond- ing I so wanted to see. When I took office in 2016, I called on the brotherhood to come together in events such as these. Brothers have played football and tailgated together. Chapter with houses have invited unhoused chapters to conduct their initiations. Our biggest opportunity to come together across the generations is our annual convention. In 2019, our convention will honor the 100th anniversary of the Iota Chapter and will be celebrated in the Mile High City. I hope that you will come home to Denver and join us as we honor the best in our fraternity. Here’s to our fraternity; may it live forever. Norman Waas, ZBT International President
