Northeastern State University and Delta Zeta do not tolerate or participate in any form of hazing.
So what sets Delta Zeta apart from the rest?
You are probably wondering...Why join Delta Zeta? What will Delta Zeta do for me? Those of us currently active in the chapter asked ourselves the same questions. We all wondered what we were going to get out the the sorority experience. There are four parts of Delta Zeta which we consider to be the most important aspects of not only the college experience, but also of life in general:
1) Friendship
We in Delta Zeta have found life long friends in our sorority. Of course we have our bad times, but in all of us we have found a friend and a sister. College is one of the hardest transitions in a woman's life, and we are able to provide the confidence, support, and encouragement to our sisters that all college students need to get through these years. Friendship makes doing everything a little bit more fun, and enriches the days that we spend at school.
2) Scholarship
Delta Zeta strives for high academic standards. Not only do we take on the challenge of getting good grades, but our sisters are always willing to help when needed. Over the years we have consistently received individual awards, as well as awards as a whole organization, for obtaining high academic achievement. Sorority members are always some of the best students on campus, and Delta Zeta makes sure that the same is true at Northeastern State University.
3) Growth
Delta Zeta helps you to grow as an individual. Although we all share the same letters, we are our own entire person. The Delta Phi chapter wants individuals, not just women who only want to be followers. Through participation in sorority activities, you will grow in strength of character and ability. We also believe that involvement in other activities besides Delta Zeta help create a more well-rounded group of young ladies, and through 100% Involvement, each member of Delta Zeta is required to be actively involved in other type of campus organization. We encourage all members to assume positions of leadership and responsibility, not only within our sisterhood, but also in other activities.
4) Service
Service to others is an important part of being a Delta Zeta. Although we are always here to help each other, we are also here for those outside of the chapter. Delta Zetas main philantrhopic goal is to help those who are speech and hearing impaired. A large portion of the funds raised through Delta Zeta are sent to Galluadet University, the House Ear Institute, and the Sound Beginnings Program. For over 50 years, Delta Zeta has helped these institutions through monetary donations and charity work. We also take pride in doing volunteer work on campus and throughout the community.
