ZBT is the most decorated fraternity at CSUN for its dedication to charitable fundraising events. Gamma Beta Chapter
was named the most outstanding Greek philanthropic organization at CSUN three out of the past four years. This
stems largely from our involvement with on-campus activities such as the very special Arts Festival for the handicapped
and our "Penny Mile". Conceived by ZBT in 1983, the Penny Mile takes place once each semester. During the event,
ZEBES put down strips of tape that if laid end to end would be a mile in length. The brothers then approach students
and faculty persuading them to empty their pockets of loose change. The one week project raises about $1500, and all
proceeds go to the CSUN Disabled Students Organizations.
Our primary event each year is the Heart Run which is sponsored by James R. Gary Realty. The fundraiser includes
various
events to raise money for the treatment of Heart Disease. ZBT is the primary volunteer sponsor for the event
and has officially co-sponsored the event in the past few years. In previous years, ZBT has helped raise nearly
$200,000 for this worthy cause.
