Then, outside, they've got a stone patio containing stones engraved with other chapter designations and well-wishes. These were sent to them by the other Zetas on the occasion of the building of their chapter house in the 1920s.
Unfortunately, these seem to be the only link between the present and the past at our oldest continuously operating chapter. We didn't see a paddle, composite, plaque, or "class project" anywhere in the house. And we went through it from the third floor to the basement.

Ahhh...memories. Colorado State had a cement casting of the pre-TKN COA as well - used to be in one of the earlier houses (pre-1939, I think)...and was slated to be used as a base on the outside BBQ. Thankfully it was never put there, it remained in the chapter room for many years - after the chapter closed, I think the High Pi at the time kept it along with all other chapter belongings for recolonizing time.
