Reflections from the
2014 Chancellor
By Connor Owens ‘15
While 2014 seems to have come and gone in
a flash, it was full of very important moments
for the Cornell Chapter of Alpha Zeta. I’m
glad I have had some time to look back on my
time as chancellor and forward to where the
fraternity is headed.
One of the largest challenges that the house
had to face was getting our name out on
campus to get more people to join, as we
had a large group of Seniors graduating who
had been extremely dedicated to the house
since their freshman year. We were extremely
successful in the spring, as we had a large
pledge class of 14, containing mostly freshman
and sophomores. Some of them have already
jumped at the chance to be on the executive
board or hold other smaller positions in the
house. While the Fall pledge class was smaller,
it was full of members who wholeheartedly
cared about the fraternity.

NY State Ag Society Meeting
By Dani Harris ‘16
Over winter break, newly elected Chancellor Lauren Fessler ’17 and
House Manager Dani Harris ’16 traveled to Liverpool, NY to represent
Alpha Zeta at the annual New York State Agricultural Society Meeting.
As Alpha Zeta representatives, we had a table at which we advertised
our chapter with pictures and brochures and were able to answer many
questions, including, “If you are a fraternity, why are there girls in all
of your pictures?” We also sponsored the Ag Promotion Award. The
individual category winner was Nancy Robbins of Old McDonald’s
Farm in Sackets Harbor. Nancy shares Alpha Zeta’s zeal to educate
our respective communities and the perspective that both men and
women can serve as leaders in agriculture. The group category winner
was the New York Animal Agricultural Coalition. The idea of the Dairy
Cow Birthing Center at the Great NYS Fair was born when the Coalition
realized that there were many misconceptions about the dairy industry
being spread throughout the general public. This year the hashtag
associated with the event (#uddermiracles) had over five million
hits and the exhibit helped to restore the consumers’ confidence

New Chancellor’s
and Awards
Perspective
Already this new year has brought me many challenges and hurdles to
overcome as the new Chancellor of Alpha Zeta. Last spring, we said
a bitter sweet goodbye to over twenty seniors, many who had been a
part of AZ since their freshman year. In their absence we have begun
rebuilding; we are piecing together the knowledge that has been passed
down to us, carrying on traditions and looking to add another pledge
class of promising members to the house. Already the new Executive
Board has made changes in an attempt to benefit the house. Our new
E-Board consists of two senior members who have prior experience
serving on the board and who have helped new members make the
transition into their new found responsibilities. The other five members
are all from last spring’s pledge class with two juniors and three
sophomores serving on the board. It is exciting to see that younger
members are stepping up and taking on leadership roles in the house.

Outside the E-board we’ve had many actives experience great
opportunities. Myself and three other members (Dani Harris ‘16, Amber
Bornt ‘16, and Connie Potter ‘16) attended the New York State Agricultural
Society Annual Meeting, where we not only encountered many alumni,
but also had the opportunity to network with people outside of Alpha
Zeta who are in the field of agriculture. We also have five members
who are abroad or doing off-campus internships this semester: Natasha
Bartolotta ‘16, Nathan Lindsey ‘16, Sierra Helmann ‘16, Emma Hallowell
‘16, Stefano Sarris ‘16 and Connie Potter ‘16.
The IFC has recently put new mandates into action that we are working
to adhere to. One of these is a shortened pledging period (referred
to by the IFC as the New Member Education Process) that is now
restricted to four weeks. Our new Pledge Master, Nick Culver ‘16, and
Pledge Educator, Kelly Cameron ‘15, have been working on adjusting
our pledge events so that they fit within the time frame while continuing
to instill all the information and history of the house that is pertinent
to becoming a fully initiated member. Another requirement of the IFC
during the spring semester pledging process is the Delta Series. This
is a series of seminars concerning hazing, sexual assault awareness,
and bystander intervention that new members are required to attend.
Additionally, the IFC now requires that every chapter on campus have at
least Total Member Development events with at least one that educates
the members on the topics of alcohol awareness and sexual violence
prevention. We are planning to have one Total Member Development
event that will be a workshop taught by the Public Health Fellows at
Gannett Health Services which will cover these topics. Also, we have
begun forming our team for the philanthropy event Polar Plunge which
will count as a Total Member Development event as well.

As people flow in and out of the fraternity, I strive to maintain traditions
while continually growing and expanding. I want Alpha Zeta to not only
improve in its own right but for our members to influence and improve
the Cornell and world communities which we are a part of. I have high
hopes for 2015 and am excited to lead AZ into a new year.

from the 2014
Chancellor
(Continued from Page 1)
In relation to pledging, Alpha Zeta has
remained one of the houses that exemplifies
what the Interfraternity Council is looking for
in a Greek system. We changed some events
to be directed towards the development of
every member, not the just the new ones.

High Council member giving High
Council report.
We have also scheduled guest speakers
to talk about alcohol safety and sexual
assault prevention.
As a house, Alpha Zeta greatly improved
with its philanthropy. We organized a very
successful Red Cross Blood Drive in April
and participated in Adopt a Highway in both
the spring and the fall semesters. We even
created our own team for the Ithaca Polar
Plunge in March, for which 11 members raised
just over $1,500 for The Special Olympics,
making us the fourth highest earning team.
Coming into the position as Chancellor, I
wanted to make house more unified and raise
Alpha Zeta’s morale, as it seemed that there
was not as much cohesion between actives as
there was in the past. It might have started of
rocky, but it has led the house to stand united
when confronting issues such as attendance
and involvement in the fraternity. Passing
the gavel to Lauren Fessler, I can be happy in
knowing she will only improve on where Alpha
Zeta has come.
Bringing Agriculture to Washington, D.C.
By Chad Crowley ‘16
This past year has seen a lot of activity in our nation’s capital from members of the Cornell Chapter of Alpha Zeta. Through a
program offered in the Natural Resources Department in CALS, Chad Crowley ‘16 was able to meet and speak with agricultural
policy makers from many different agencies and organizations, from the U.S. Department of State, to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. With the help and guidance of notable AZ alum and former Cornell Chapter advisor Dr. Peter Davies of Cornell’s
Department of Horticulture, Chad’s time in D.C. was especially productive. He returns to the house this semester with a new
perspective on agricultural policy making that is sure to help the house continue its mission of bettering our nation’s
agricultural system.
As our house looks towards summer, this trend continues: Emily Ardalan ’17 is in the process of securing summer employment
with the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Washington D.C. office, where she is hoping to work with their legislative team.
Chad is also likely to return to D.C. this summer, seeking to delve further into issues surrounding bioenergy production.
Both of these actives, among their fellow brothers and sisters, are helping to bring Alpha Zeta’s mission into the political sphere,
serving as a reminder to Alpha Zeta members everywhere that, as new issues emerge in new places, AZ will be there to help
protect and promote the profession of agriculture.

Cornell AZ loses Brother Craig A Schenk ‘90
Memorial established with CALS Charitable Trust
Paul Cerosaletti ‘89
On September 29th, 2014, Cornell Alpha Zeta lost a dear
brother all too soon. Craig A. Schenk ’90 passed away in a
tragic farm accident in Lansing, NY. Our heartfelt sympathies
go out to his family: his wife Patti, son and daughter Patrick and
Sarah, and his parents Lee and Marie Schenk, as well as siblings
and close in-laws. Many of Craig’s AZ brothers and sisters
made the pilgrimage to his memorial service, calling hours,
and funeral. Those that could not be with us in person shared
heartfelt thoughts and concern in the ensuing days through
Craig Schenk ‘90
our AZ connections on Facebook and via phone and email. The
outpouring of love was real and sincere, and was a testament to Craig, or Gummi,
as most of us affectionately knew him.
As we reflected on Craig, many of the same words and phrases kept surfacing;
lovable, easy-going, sweet, sincere, caring. Craig, by several people’s accounts, tried
to slow life down a bit, keep it simple, and focus on the relationships. We would do
well to follow his lead.
“…And since we have
no gold to give, and
Love alone must make
amends, our only
prayer is while we live,
God make us worthy
of our By
Friends.”
Richard Church ‘64
Donations to the Craig Schenk
Memorial Fund may be made payable
to the CALS Charitable Trust (memo:
Craig Schenk Memorial) and sent to
Alumni Records Office, Cornell Alpha
Zeta, PO Box 876, Ithaca, NY 14851.
In lieu of flowers, Craig’s family asked for donations to go to Alpha Zeta. The CALS Charitable Trust has established a
memorial to Craig through the Academic Enrichment program, which will fund an annual Cornell AZ student internship with
NY FarmNet, a service that provides farm crisis consultation, farm business planning, and farm family counseling. This seems
a fitting tribute to Craig, who loved farming and being a farmer.
Craig’s wife Patti shared with us how much AZ and his AZ brothers and sisters meant to him. Just days before his untimely
passing, he remarked to her about his desire to get together with us all again. Those that attended the services, I think, can
attest he was with us those days. He left a legacy of love, friendship, loyalty, sincerity, and giving of himself to others. When
we share gifts he gave us, he is with us still.
The Gavel Changes Hands
Alpha Zeta has been a part of who I am for over 25
years. I am trying hard to ignore the passing of time and
realization that the years are starting to add up. At our
January Corporation Board meeting, we felt a change in
the atmosphere. Three long standing Corp Board members
have “retired” from the board. Dick Church ’64, Bruce
Osadchey ’61 and Ron Furry ‘53 have all decided to add
a bit more travel to their calendars and a few less board
meetings. Bruce has been the guardian of official records
as long as I have been engaged with the board. His horse
picks and abbreviated minutes will be missed, but the
board has created an emeritus level for distinguished past
board members such that we can reach out and continue
to connect and rely on their experience for project moving
forward. Ron continues to remember more about the
physical plant at 214 Thurston then anyone. I rely on him
as we start to upgrade systems that are reaching the end
of their useful life. Bruce, Dick and Ron are the three
inaugural emeritus members.
I am honored that my fellow board members selected me
as a worthy successor to Dick as board president, but find
those are pretty big shoes to fill. Dick’s memory for names
and dates continues to amaze all that know him. He is a
walking encyclopedia about all things Alpha Zeta. It will
take an engaged board with all of us working on specific
projects to hold a candle to what Dick did, much of it as
a solo operation, for many years. I wish Dick and Joyce
even more successful travels. They are establishing an
unofficial Alpha Zeta Southern base in sunny Florida, so
snowbirds keep an eye out for their mailbox in your travels.
The major systems of the house have been updated in the
past few years, so we are looking for a quiet year in terms
of physical plant. Hope to see many of you at one of our
events over the year.
Fraternally,
Jeff Perry ‘89

Introducing Our New Members
By Emily Ardalan ‘17
This past fall semester, the Cornell Chapter of Alpha Zeta grew by 5 members. We welcome our newest members: Mathilde
Dujardin ‘15, Paul Etheimer ‘15, Arnaud Louiset ‘16, Stefano Sarris ‘16, and Jessi White ‘16. This pledge class is one of our
most international; Mathilde, Paul and Arnaud all came to us from different parts of France, Stefano from the Netherlands, and
Jessi from the United States. All five are valuable additions to our family, and we are excited for their futures at Cornell and
beyond. We thank our Pledge Master, Brendan Sanok ‘15, and Pledge Educator, Jacqueline Webb ‘15, for their hard work.

Board president, and Dr. Bruce Widger ’49, DVM ’51.
As we move forward into the new year we also move
to a new rush period. With the gap left by the seniors
who graduated last spring, we’ve given an extra push
this rush period as a house. This semester’s events
were a mix of new and old activities with success
across the board. For the first time, the women
of Alpha Zeta traveled with potential members to
Syracuse to attend line dancing lessons and everyone
had a blast! We kept up old favorites including
broomball in Cass Park and bowling at Helen Newman.
We also tried out the new Laser Tag arena in Pyramid
Mall and had such a great time that it’s already on the
schedule for next semester! Our advertisements in
introductory classes has already resulted in responses
and I am hopeful that we have not only a dedicated
pledge class but one that will be young enough to be
around for years to come.
During Homecoming and annual meeting activities last
October 18, Richard A. Ball, NYS Ag and Markets
Commissioner, was initiated as the Cornell chapter’s newest
Associate Member. Commissioner Ball, Schoharie vegetable
grower, and community and statewide leader of several farm
organizations, was named Commissioner on January 9, 2014
by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Schoharie Valley Farms is a 200 acre farm that produces a
wide range of vegetable crops, small fruits, and greenhouse
crops sold through an onsite farm market known as “The
Carrot Barn” and through the green markets in NY City.
As a farm leader, Commissioner Ball has held a number
of positions including Vice President of the NYS Vegetable
Growers, Board of directors of NY Farm Bureau,and member
of the American Farm Bureau Labor Committee ( past Chair).
We’re pleased to welcome Commissioner Ball to the Alpha
Zeta family as our newest Associate Member.

Spring Rush Laser Tag
CUDS Trip
Kassidy Hitt ‘17
Just prior to the beginning of the spring semester, active member Victoria
Houser ’17 and Chronicler Kassidy Hitt ’17 had the opportunity to travel with the
Cornell Dairy Science Club on their biannual trip to California to participate in
multiple farm tours and visit a wide variety of agricultural production facilities.
Throughout the week we stopped at many different dairy farms, some of which
were dry lots, others which were free-stalls, some of which were Jersey herds
and others that were primarily Holsteins. We also toured a large goat dairy,
which processed and sold its own goat’s milk and cheese. We toured the “Halo”
citrus plant, as well as various other citrus orchards. These orchards are the
main competitors that the dairy industry faces for resources like land and water.
When traveling in California, large plots of almond, citrus, pistachio and other
fruit or nut trees can be seen taking up hundreds, if not thousands of acres at
a time. We visited the largest carrot producers in the world, the largest almond
production facility in the world and a very large cotton and tomato production
facility as well. We were also lucky enough to tour and have dinner at the Hilmar
Cheese Company, which has the best cheese in the world (it was amazing!).
Many of the Jersey farms that we visited in the vicinity sold their milk to the
cheese company, making it a very efficient shipping and processing system for
the local farmers. The two largest animal lots that we visited were Grimmius, a
70,000 calf ranch, which is set on 250 acres and employs nearly 200 people to
bottle feed their calves every day, and Harris Ranch, which is set on roughly 450
acres, currently has a head count approaching 160,000, and both mills and uses
over 3,000,000 lbs of feed every day.
Victoria Houser ‘17 picks oranges at a
citrus orchard in southern California.
It was amazing to see the different types of management techniques and how they resulted in such varying efficiency
results and standards. We also learned about the strict regulations that California has on its water, electricity and other
natural resources; for that reason the government has set incredibly strict regulations for farmers, which make their job
increasingly difficult. It is unfortunate that their government is so naïve about the needs of the farmers and unaware of
what it really takes to run a farm. The farmers are more than willing to comply with regulations to help minimize their
impact on the environment, but not to the point where the normal operations of the farm have to be compromised, and
even transformed in order to conform to the law. As members of Alpha Zeta this may be something to think about. We
need more people who are ready, willing and able to step up in a government or administrative role to lead and further
educate politicians on the changes that are necessary to promote a “continued advancement of agriculture.”
Thanksgiving:
A Time to Connect and Reflect
Carrie Terwilliger ’15
This past November, Alpha Zeta Fraternity hosted its annual
Thanksgiving dinner, an event in which we branch out to potential
members, take time to reflect on what we have, and appreciate the
company of our brothers and sisters. Prepared by the wonderful Peter
Seznec, along with several members donating their time to aid in the
preparation of the meal, the dinner brought in many underclassmen,
who were personally invited by current brothers and sisters of the
house to enjoy a meal with current active members. Throughout the
dinner, we laughed and shared pieces of our own Cornell experience
with one another, just as any other family would. Our Thanksgiving
dinner was a great success and allowed us to connect with a vast
diversity of individuals in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences,
and celebrate the lush community that Cornell and Alpha Zeta.
