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, CommunityEdu, Initiation and two post-Initiation lessons (Seek Meaning and Seek Commitment) during the same semester as when they join the chapter.

Once you have been given a bid, you will go through the New Member Program, where you will all about the history and legacy of Zeta Tau Alpha. You will be paired with our Vice President II: New Member Coordinator (VPII for short!), and your pledge class to learn the information for your initiation test. These meetings are fun and interactive and lets you in on all the secrets we share as sisters of ZTA. Part of the New Member Program includes Big/Little week, when you are matched with your forever Big! Your Big Sister will support you throughout your Zeta journey, just as the rest of the chapter will, too!
