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 accepted a bid, you will go through the New Member Program, where you will learn 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!) to learn all of the information you need for your initiation test. These meetings are fun and interactive, and will let you in on all the secrets we share as sisters of ZTA.

Part of the New Member Program includes Big/Little week, where you will be matched with your forever Big! Your Big Sister will serve as your go-to guide through our chapter and support you throughout your Zeta journey, just as the rest of the chapter will too!
