UPDATE: KnightNews.com received word earlier this morning that Delta Upsilon was at the Alpha Delta Pi house yesterday giving girls rides to class in rickshaws (bikes with carriages attached). In addition, today they will provide the lucky ladies with free tanning beds at Black Widow Tanning.
Also, Alpha Xi Delta was given a refreshment bar in their backyard by the Theta Chi fraternity. Then, later that night, Theta Chi gave them a candlelit Italian dinner at their house.

If you drove by the UCF Zeta Tau Alpha house Tuesday afternoon, you might have wondered why it looked like they were still celebrating Spring Break.
KnightNews.com stopped by to find out why a big group of Zetas was sprawled out on the front lawn of their sorority house, tanning with a bunch of guys, sipping smoothies and playing on a slip ‘n slide. Even though this is Spring, we found out the front lawn festivities have to do with this Fall’s homecoming activities — and Phi Delta Theta’s push for Zeta to pick them as a partner.
“They’re showing their love for us,” one Zeta said, who was hanging out with the Phi Delts in her front lawn.
“We’re going for Zeta for homecoming,” said Phi Delt brother Jeremy Tellor, when asked what his fraternity was doing out there. “We’re really running unopposed. I can’t really see our opponent right now.”
However, KnightNews.com did confirm at least one other fraternity is also vying for Zeta.
“Sigma Chi just came and put up a banner there, and they’re washing our cars,” one Zeta said.
Phi Delt told KnightNews.com their event started at noon, and they brought out one of their brothers, who also DJ’s at Scoop, to provide the music.
“We’re trying to have some fun, get to know them,” a Phi Delt told KnightNews.com.
“These girls are gorgeous, fine and smart,” said another.
The Zetas were enjoying all the attention.
“I love it. It’s my favorite time of year,” a Zeta said.
“I think we should do this all the time!” said another.
