DZ Values

Friendship

Friendship is where the sorority begins, the promise of lasting friendship starts with being the best version of ourselves.

Curiosity

Curiosity as a value is the idea of being a life long learner. Learning is the highest priority of the collegiate experience! Delta Zeta reinforces the pursuit of academic excellence and continuing to learn outside of the academic environment.

Generosity

"To whom my life may touch in slight measure, may I give graciously of what is mine."

Giving to others the love, care, hope, and support they need, without hesitation. Holding the understanding that we are a part of one whole and giving to others before we recieve.

Empowerment

The process of becoming stronger and more confident from the support and honor of your sisters. Claiming your life and right to be an empowered woman.
"Seek the truth and defend it always."

Citizenship

Service to our community and beyond is held steadfast through our philanthropic involvement throughout our membership. Delta Zeta's collegiate women serve more than 700,000 hours and raise $1,500,000 each year, collectively.

Belonging

Knowing you've found your home in Delta Zeta, surrounded by your sisters and their complete, undying love for you.

Sisters are stronger together.
"To my mind, Growth;
To myself, Faith;
That I may walk truly in the light of the Flame."
