As an undergraduate, the biggest thing for you to decide is what you want out of college. Anyone can party for four years, graduate, and never look back. What a waste.
Fraternity can be so much more:
Zeta Psi is an old, elite, and intimate brotherhood. Since 1847 we have taken pride in the caliber of schools we are at and the quality of men we invite to join. Zeta Psi lives at the best schools in the United States and Canada, and from them, recruits the finest of men — leaders, scholars, athletes, brothers. We can find brothers wearing letters on the street who we've never met and have an instant friend and a great conversation — because each brother cares deeply about being a Zete, and have taken great things from their experience. A uniquely valuable sense of community stems from our size and elite style that groups with 100, 200 or more chapters—at any campus that requests membership—can't match. That sense of real brotherhood is very important to us, and it's why we have such involved, life-long alumni.
^Zetes come together to have fun, enjoy life, get the most out of college, better ourselves and form lifelong bonds of brotherhood. Despite all the fun that college brings, the main reason you came to school is to get an education to be successful in life. However, a world of stuff you need in life—to get by, have fun, succeed—isn't taught in class. All our brothers can attest that you get more than the necessary knowledge, experience, and skill from Zeta Psi. Our goal, and the reason we exist, is to help you succeed by graduating with that edge you need in life, and have a really good time doing it. The result: better and more successful men with great memories, lifelong friends and the best experience you can have in college or beyond.
^Almost nobody wakes up and says “I'm going to join Zeta Psi.” Guys don't join the organizations — they join groups of guys they like hanging out with, share interests, respect, and generally feel the same in return. That we're a fraternity brings tremendous added benefit, experience and value; but at the end of the day, you join the brothers, not the letters. Take the time to get to know your potential future brothers and make sure they are right for you, and that you are right for them.
^Zete gives our brothers a competitive edge for life. Local control gives you the chance to run your own small business, to grow as leaders, to and find your strengths. All the while, you and your chapter are being supported by our central office and staff, and local and regional alumni. We offer hands-on alumni and career mentoring, job banks, six annual leadership conferences, scholarships, and more. Our Washington Scholars Fellowship Program offers top undergrads high-quality internships in Washington D.C. through our vast network of contacts, while supported with great leadership training and educational programs. This extraordinary and one-of-a-kind program has expanded to New York City as Wall Street Scholars, with brothers working in the film, engineering, and bio-sciences fields. These programs, as well as other emerging ones, are supported by the vast alumni networks world-wide.
Zeta Psi seeks that right kind of man — smart, determined, honorable, leaders — to help ensure the legacy of our 160-year old brotherhood. Do you have what it takes to be a leader? Talk to one of our chapter consultants to learn how to get involved.
