About the chapter

Our 6 shared values of friendship, community, generosity, curiosity, empowerment, and belonging fuel our organization. Built upon true and lasting friendship, our sisterhood empowers and prepares members for their futures with the shared experiences and values we hold dear.

“Being a member of Delta Zeta has motivated me to strive for excellence and be the best version of myself. Being in a sorority has given me many amazing opportunities that I would not have been given otherwise. Serving as DZ’s chapter president has been a great experience for me. Every day I am learning something new. The women of this chapter have been so helpful and supportive every step of the way. Thank you, Delta Zeta for providing me a home away from home!”
