New Member Experience

ZTA’s Zeta Is Forever New Member Experience was designed to emphasize the values of the Fraternity. Each section of the program focuses on values found in The Creed of Zeta Tau Alpha that all Zetas should “seek” in their daily lives, including greatness, understanding, purpose, sisterhood and nobility. Zetas across the country take part in this program as new members and learn values they carry with them throughout their lives.

All first-year Zetas go through the New Member Experience, GreekLifeEdu, Initiation and two post-Initiation lessons during the same semester as Primary Recruitment.

Prior to the in-person meeting each week, new members will complete an online educational workshop regarding that week’s topic. Each workshop consists of information and activities that will assist new members in their learning of the material. The purpose of this online workshop is to allow for fewer lectures and more discussion and engagement with other new members during in-person meetings, building overall sisterhood and a connection to the Fraternity. The in-person meetings include icebreakers, a review of the online module, interactive activities and a personal reflection.

Dear Potential New Members,

I want to be the first to congratulate you on your decision to start the recruitment process. I was in your exact shoes just two years ago and I can honestly say that joining Zeta Tau Alpha has been such an important part of my college experience. Running the New Member Program is not just a role; it's a privilege to help contribute to the success of the sisterhood. With that being said, I am extremely eager to meet each, and every single one of you!

As you begin recruitment, I encourage you to learn all about what our chapter has to offer. Our sisterhood is diverse, inclusive and welcoming! We are an incredible group of women who support one another and are blessed to share all of our experiences, opportunities and memories together. We value and love each of you and want you to know that you will be in our hearts and prayers throughout this exciting process. We know how important it is to find a chapter you can call home. Our chapter is looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you home on BID DAY with open arms!
