He also spent four years entertaining and helping the community of Columbus, Ohio, through a service-based theater group on campus.

“When I graduated from Ohio State, I didn’t think I would really stay all that connected to ZBT nationally.  Little did I know I’d be traveling the southeast meeting some of my brothers and experiencing their passion and dedication.  ZBT truly is a brotherhood for a lifetime.”

Brother Klopfstein spends most of his free time hiking, playing board games and checking out local theaters and art galleries. Email him at tklopfstein@zbtnational.org.

“Working for Zeta Beta Tau these past few months has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had. Being able to wake up every day and work for and towards something that impacted me so much during my important college years is amazing. ZBT can and does help form young men into respectable gentlemen, and it is a pleasure to meet and work with these brothers all over the country.”

Evan C. Skloot
Chapter Development Consultant

Brother Skloot grew up in Armonk, New York, and became a Founding Father of the Eta Sigma Chapter at Elon University in February 2013. He served in numerous leadership roles, including President, Recruitment Chairman, Provost, Community Service Chairman, Public Relations Chairman and IFC Delegate. He was also very active in New Student Orientation and Admissions at Elon, adding to his already impactful undergraduate experience through ZBT.

In his free time, he enjoys traveling, hiking, spending time with friends and family, and New York Knicks basketball.

“After the powerful impact that my brothers at Eta Sigma had on each other as an undergraduate, working for ZBT has allowed me to broaden that impact to helping brothers from chapters all across the country get the most out of their fraternity and collegiate experience. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a brother who has a passion for improving his chapter, and having a conversation that helps spark an idea which gets him closer to achieving his goals,” he said. “Everyone I have met in my travels has reinforced my ZBT pride and my belief that brotherhood is truly not limited to one chapter, one region, or one generation. Working for ZBT is one way to serve the brotherhood, and I highly recommend that all brothers utilize staff to find the best way for them to give back.”
