The Delta Zeta sorority is a social organization.   However, many people misunderstand this term because they limit it to social functions, such as parties and social gatherings.  These events are certainly one part of sorority life, but there are many other aspects involved in being a member of a sorority.

Friendship - The friends that you make in a sorority are lifelong friends.  The bonds that unite you are not severed by distance or time, and are renewed each time you meet.  It is easy to talk to these friends and you know that they will understand you because you share so much in common.  These friends provide support and encouragement while enriching your college experience.

Scholarship - The most important part of coming to college is getting a good education.  Delta Zetas exhibit high ideals and standards in academics.  Each member must meet  certain scholastic requirements to be initiated, including a 2.5 cumulative GPA.  Delta Zeta strives to help each woman reach her potential through programs which help improve study skills and time management abilities.

Service- The Greek system prides itself on service to others.  Delta Zeta has a long history of community service.  Our national philanthropy is assistance to the deaf through service and gifts.  Delta Zeta supports the work being done by Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. - the only college in the world devoted exclusively to the needs, instruction, and training of the speech and hearing impaired.  Other related organizations are also supported by individual chapters.  You give as much as you get from service to others!

Growth - As a member of a sorority, you will have a chance to learn about yourself and others.  Delta Zeta gives you the opportunity to build character and discover your unique abilities.  Through personal growth, you also learn tolerance for others who may have different beliefs and practices.
