New Member Experience

The Zeta Is Forever New Member Experience emphasizes the values of the Fraternity, found in our Creed. The weekly lessons are: Seek Greatness, Seek Understanding, Seek Purpose, Seek Sisterhood and Seek the Noblest.

Prior to the weekly meeting, new members complete an online educational workshop regarding that week’s topic. These online workshops allow for fewer lectures and more discussion and engagement with other new members during meetings, building overall sisterhood and a connection to the Fraternity. The meetings include icebreakers, a review of the online module, interactive activities and a personal reflection.

All first-year Zetas participate in the New Member Experience, Initiation and two post-Initiation lessons (Seek Meaning and Seek Commitment) during the same semester as when they join the chapter.

Ultimately, Zeta Is Forever serves as more than an introduction — it is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to leadership, friendship, and purpose. It reminds each woman that joining ZTA is not just for her college years, but for every chapter of life that follows. Through this program, our members learn that Zeta truly is forever.

Beyond its lessons and activities, Zeta Is Forever creates an environment where confidence is built, values are strengthened, and genuine sisterhood flourishes. It encourages every new member to discover her potential and recognize the impact she can make within her chapter and community. Through shared experiences, mentorship, and reflection, new members come to understand that being a Zeta means belonging to something much larger than themselves — a sisterhood rooted in love, loyalty, and the promise that once you are a Zeta, you are a Zeta for life.
