Spring & Prom Time High Intensity AVOID DUI Crackdown
Sobriety Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols Planned
San Diego, CA – Law enforcement throughout the county will be combining resources and sending out a unified message this Prom Season. If you drive drunk, we will be looking for you. If you’re over the limit, you will be arrested. If you are underage and drinking before you get behind the wheel be prepared to have your night cut short.
The Avoid the 14 DUI task force will be staffing a DUI checkpoint in the City of San Diego this weekend and deploying additional DUI Saturation Patrols and checkpoints countywide targeting those who still don’t heed the message to designate a sober driver.
All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers. This DUI checkpoint is an effort to reduce those tragedies. A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.
"DUI arrests can be embarrassing and expensive, but they're easy to prevent," said Officer McCullough. "If you're drinking, hand your keys over to a designated sober driver, or call a taxi or sober friend for a ride home. Don't risk an arrest ---or worse, a serious injury or even death."
Along with the impaired drivers, Avoid members at these checkpoints and saturation patrols will be looking for other violations that will impact all motorists, as this is the time of year we see an increase in the number of young adults on the road to their High School Proms. If you are, or have a young person attending a Prom this year, don’t forget California’s zero tolerance laws and make sure they have a safe and sober prom.

| The popular voiceofsandiego.org Student Essay Contest is back for its second year. Open to 11th and 12th graders in San Diego County, this year's essays will address one of three local debates: the county's role in providing social services; whether the city of San Diego should invest in recycling sewage for drinking water; and whether the San Diego Unified School District's decision not to pursue federal "Race to the Top" funding was right. The deadline for submitting essays is Friday, May 21, 2010. Essays will be judged on insightfulness, supporting facts and evidence, development of ideas and style. For complete rules and instructions, here's our flyer. The winning essay writer will receive a $2,500 scholarship to the college of the student's choice. The 10 best essays will be published on the voiceofsandiego.org website in late June. Special thanks to Bob, Karen, and Heather Bowden for sponsoring this year's contest. And, thanks to a donation from Sylvan Learning of San Diego, the top 11th grade essay (or runner-up if an 11th grader wins the scholarship) will win a choice of an SAT prep seminar (which is worth $895) or ACT prep seminar (worth $795). Please take a moment to forward this message along to a student, teacher, or parent. We appreciate your help in spreading the word. http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/app/pdf/VOSD%20Essay%20Contest.pdf |
Gamma Zeta Alpha Latino Interest Fraternity Inc.
Oscar Jimenez Scholarship Application
San Diego State University; Zeta Chapter
GZA History
Gamma Zeta Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is a Latino interest fraternity which was founded in the fall of 1987 at California State University, Chico by fifteen young, diverse, and educated men that saw a need for an organization that would uphold brotherhood and facilitate their needs. Among those needs were the three principles that they shared in common. Those principles have become the foundation upon which this fraternity has grown upon: Academic Excellence, Community Service, and the promotion of the Latino Culture. Gamma Zeta Alpha was established for the purposes of uniting and directing all persons interested in promotion of the Latino culture and ethnic origins via community interaction and the educational system. Since then, chapters have been founded at San Jose State University, University of California at Berkeley, California State University at Northridge, California State University at Fresno, San Diego State University, University of California at Los Angeles, University of California at Davis, Stanford University, and University of California at Santa Barbara and more.
Zeta Chapter History
After experiencing the various degrees of fraternal organizations at San Diego State University, a group of dedicated men decided to gather other like-minded college students to address the reality and need of a different type of fraternity on our campus. As Latinos, we notice and value the comfort and support that can only come from strong family ties. Together, this group established the campus club “Raza Unida,” as the initial step to establishing a chapter of Gamma Zeta Alpha at SDSU.
The founding fathers not only noticed, but w ere concerned about the lack of community involvement and unity among the Latino population at SDSU and San Diego in general. Gamma Zeta Alpha, with its core principals of Academics, Brotherhood, Community Service and Maintenance of the Latino Culture, proved to be the best organization to help us develop, explore and execute our ideas and beliefs.
On May 31, 1997, they earned the privilege to establish and became the founding fathers of Gamma Zeta Alpha, Zeta Chapter, San Diego State University. Since then, our fraternity has established and maintained a level of professionalism and respect that is recognized throughout California. Whether we are encouraging each other towards graduation or supporting each other afterwards, all brothers of the Zeta Chapter are proud of what we started; and we will continue to be proud, thanks to the classes that will forever maintain, develop, and surpass our goals and achievements.
Oscar A. Jimenez
Oscar Jimenez was a Zeta Chapter Brother who lost his life on April 11, 2004 performing an act of heroism, while on active duty in Iraq. We have chosen to commemorate his life and the legacy he left us by offering scholarships to deserving students who exemplify the goals of our fraternity. The members of the Zeta Chapter at San Diego State University would like to encourage graduating under-represented minority high school seniors and community college transfer students to apply for this scholarship.
