Throwback Thursday – The “Little Sisters of the Maltese Cross” circa late 60’s??
Former GZ Worthy Master, Jim “Rufus” Hayes ’73 and his partner, Billy Hanson ’16 are looking good in the “Tau Madness” NCAA Bracket Challenge. First prize is about $900!! Think they’re rooting for Kentucky??
Throwback Thursday – Think Spring and the days when the Gamma Zeta boys brought home the hardware from the links. This is Van Anderson, Herman Hertenstein, Fletcher Johnson and Robert Heath (Heath Candy Bars) in about 1949/50.
Two Gamma Zeta former Chief’s, Bill Forsyth ’86 and Dr. Scott Brakenridge ’97, are quoted in this article. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was another Gamma Zeta who was mentioned in one of the other quotes as well.

When the idea was raised to send undergraduates from Gamma Zeta to Honduras to participate in the medical mission, I was confident that the brothers would find this a worthy effort and provide financial assistance… and I was not disappointed. Having been part of this trip for three years now, I knew it would be awesome for these guys to experience something of this magnitude. Although I did not get the chance to meet or work with Paul and Joe, Dr. Berl has expressed how great the guys were as part of the team in week #2.
I’d like to thank all the brothers who provided financial assistance to give Paul and Joe the opportunity to be part of something special. Your generosity exhibits one of the reasons we are all bound together in the pledge we took years before. The communication system that Dane has set up is a great way for all of us to stay in touch. I’m proud of all of Gamma Zeta nation and proud to call you brothers.
Providing the dental care to this impoverished people is a privilege and an honor. Working with Seth and Linda and the others I’ve met has enhanced my life; it can’t help but change you.
We are countlessly blessed as a people and a nation to be living in America. We truly take many things for granted. I’m confident that Paul and Joe will “pay it forward” and pass on the experience to others to continue in their footsteps.
If any of you have ever thought of participating in a mission such as this, I’d be happy to give you the necessary insight to help answer any questions or concerns. Thanks again for all your help.
VTL… Sully
