Each of us wants to make friends, learn new things and do something that matters. You might say it’s in our DNA, but that doesn’t make it any easier to do. In 1902, six young women formed an organization that would help them move these ideas forward. It was the founding of Delta Zeta Sorority, whose purpose is to create among a group of women a true and lasting friendship, to encourage one another in the pursuit of knowledge, to promote values-based living and embrace social responsibility.
As a member of the Lambda Theta Chapter of Delta Zeta, sisters will be empowered to explore opportunities within our chapter, on campus, professionally, and to become the best version of themselves with the continuous support of sisters. Our chapter holds academics above everything else, and offers specialized academic support to every sister throughout their college years. With multiple sisterhood events each month, our friendship is continuously growing, making Delta Zeta not only a college experience but a lifetime experience.
