The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity is a brotherhood
of respect. In 1989, the national
organization revoked the practice of pledging
because it believes that a pledge is a
type of second-class citizen. When you accept
your bid you become a brother, not a
pledge! ZBT has a tradition of excellence.
We take academics seriously because
scholarship is one of your first (but not
only) priorities, as a student. Brothers are
constantly helping each other with studies
and academics in general. Of course, there
is also the social aspect. As fraternity members, we participate in activities that range from
tailgates and road trips to formals, and—of course—sorority events. We also participate in
many different sports events.
Zeta Beta Tau is, at heart, a true brotherhood.
All brothers are equal from the very
beginning. We are active in the community,
university, and Greek system. Our
brotherhood is focused on leadership.
Members are pushed to the limit and allowed
to grow as individuals. This is how
the fraternity thrives.
