In spring 2005, Ian Cohen moved to Maryland from Dallas, where he had been a member of Eamonn Lacey AZA and the [[North Texas-Oklahoma Region]]. He joined Curly and began helping Bo and Joey in running the chapter. Bo, Joey, and Ian all attended international programs that summer, and came back ready to revive the chapter. Bo remained Godol for the fall term, with Joey as S'gan and Ian as Moreh. In December, right before Regional Convention, Curly finally got a new advisor, Aaron Ilkovitch. In January, Aaron's old AZA friend Scott Goff became Curly's seventh advisor. Ian and Bo switched roles for the spring term, with Bo also helping out as Kohen Godol. In February, a name change was proposed so that the chapter could start fresh, and the selected name was that of Ilan Ramon, the Israeli astronaut. The change became official, and the chapter began new life as Ramon AZA. Currently, membership is up, and Ramon AZA is slowly improving. Everyone is looking forward to Chapter Convention 2006: We're On a Mission From God. | In spring 2005, Ian Cohen moved to Maryland from Dallas, where he had been a member of Eamonn Lacey AZA and the [[North Texas-Oklahoma Region]].

+ | ===Traditions=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | *'''The Retard of the Week Award''' - At all chapter meetings, Ramon nominates people who have done things in the past week that are considered stupid and retarted. A vote is then taken to decide who among the nominees is the "Retard of the Week". | ||
+ | |||
+ | *'''Good and Welfare Analogies''' - During a Good and Welfare, when he is done talking, a member of the chapter will make an analogy about being in Ramon AZA. For example, "Being in AZA is like having the best night of your life. But being in Ramon AZA is like having the best night of your life every night. (a cheezy example). | ||
+ | |||
+ | *'''The Giant Cooler''' - At kickoff 2003, Adam Bach brought a giant fisherman's cooler and named it the "Curly Cooler". Since then the cooler has been passed down from Godol to Godol, and served as an annoyance to the Godol's parents as it took up space in their house. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *'''The Curly Cold Water Challenge''' - At a Regional Convention, Patuxent AZA from [[Baltimore Council]] had no members in attendance and could not do the Cold Water Challenge, an old tradition of theirs. Curly began holding the Cold Water Challenge, and at Regional Convention 2002 gave out certificates to everyone who participated. The Cold Water Challenge became so popular that the region has removed chapter sponsorship from it and now puts it into the schedule of the convention as the "NRE Cold Water Challenge", complete with adult supervision. | ||
