Zeta Phi Chapter History

On the night of October 9th, 1970 a group of approximately twenty-five to thirty-five male freshmen and one male junior UF student got together with five members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity to discuss the possibilities of securing a charter in the near future. Sam Grant and Dr. E. A. Cosby informed the young men that a task such as this would not appear over-night. They continued by making known to the interested men that they should start some type of organization to make preparations for the day when Kappa Men would walk the campus of the University of Florida in brave numbers. Following this, an organization was established for this purpose. The elected President was Kip Smith, Vice-President - Bernard C. Cohen, Secretary - Skitch Holland, Treasurer - Earnest Smith, and Clarence Martin was Sergeant of Arms.
