Zeta Beta Tau

Delta Xi Chapter

Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity was founded on December 29, 1898, at City College of New York.

Founded as a Zionist Organization, it was created for Jewish men who were excluded from joining other men's Fraternities. Since 1954, ZBT has been committed to its policy of non-sectarian brotherhood, and values the diversity of its brothers. ZBT will recruit and initiate men of good character, regardless of religion, race or creed who are accepting of these principles. The mission of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity (ZBT) is to foster and develop in its brotherhood the tenets of its Credo: Intellectual Awareness, Social Responsibility, Integrity and Brotherly Love, in order to prepare its brothers for positions of leadership and service within their communities. Brothers of Zeta Beta Tau participate in philanthropy & service, athletic events, social events, brotherhood events, leadership conventions, and much more. Our motto is, "Brotherhood for a Lifetime" as we foster relationships not for just four years, but an entire lifetime.
