Norcross, Kappa Nu (University of San Francisco) ’86, and Matthew (Matt) J. Rubins, Kappa (Cornell University) ’90.

The Zeta Beta Tau Foundation’s President, Bruce H. Weinstein, Psi (University of Alabama) ’70, said of the new directors:

“It is an honor to be selected to serve on the Zeta Beta Tau Foundation Board of Directors. For me, ZBT Sigma Chapter (Tulane University) is where I forged lasting and treasured friendships. And through ZBT, new friendships and connections are being formed as well. I am looking forward to working with the many talented brothers on the Foundation Board. What a great experience it was attending and participating in the 2016 International Convention, and meeting the many young college brothers eager to learn, connect and forge new friendships. ZBT is making a difference.”

“It is a tremendous honor to be a part of ZBT and all that it represents. The undergraduate experience, leadership programs and heritage programming are phenomenal tools to grow and develop the young men of ZBT who will be leading this country in years to come. I know firsthand the value of being a brother with the support and mentorship I had from my brothers in the Kappa Nu Chapter where I held several leadership positions in student body government which serve me today in both my private sector businesses and in the many public projects in which I am involved. I am dedicated to support ZBT and thrilled to be a part of the Foundation.”

Matthew (Matt) J. Rubins, Kappa (Cornell University) ’90

“I am honored to continue my service to Zeta Beta Tau by joining the Zeta Beta Tau Foundation Board of Directors. I recently served as Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity’s International President and saw firsthand the positive impact that brotherhood can have in transforming lives, giving leadership opportunities, and developing life skills in our undergraduate brothers through programs such as Safe Smart Dating and Combating Campus Hate. I’m excited to help the Foundation raise the critical resources to expand programs such as these.”

The Zeta Beta Tau Foundation’s Corporate Governance Committee Chairman, Barry M. Aarons, Gamma Tau (Arizona State University) ’71, said of the new directors:

“I am thrilled with the quality, geographical diversity and professional diversity of this class of new Directors. We have brothers who are coming aboard for their first alumni leadership experience and brothers who have long histories with the Foundation Board and the Supreme Council. These brothers are going to contribute mightily to the success of the Zeta Beta Tau Foundation over the coming years.”
