you
are only concerned with images and stereotypes.
What you are is what you bring to the organization.
What you bring to the organization is what the organization becomes.
...you only want to advance socially by aligning yourself with a Greek
letter organization, don't think that letters across your chest will make
you any more or less attractive or popular.
...you just want to get close to a Sigma or other Greeks.
...you only want to say, "I joined a Greek letter organization": Others
want to have the "privileges" and image that come with saying that you're
a "Greek", but don't want to join a NPHC organization. Anyone can take
three letters and make an organization. But do you know the significance
of the BGLO (Black Greek Letter Organization) movement in the US? Do you
know of it's origin? It's traditions?
...you just want to be in a sorority so that you can wear paraphenalia.
...you're just doing it because your mother and everyone you know is a
Zeta so you figured, "What the heck?!"
...you think that it will be easy for you to become a Zeta because we're
"small" and we're "desparately" looking to take as many members as
possible. (DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!)
...you love Zeta/Sigma events and you want to get in free.
...you were rejected from your first choice so you figured that you'd use
Zeta as your backup or reject organization.
...your favorite colors just happen to be blue and white so you thought it
was a sign from a higher being.
...you lack the ambition to work toward the principles that we were
founded on.
...you lack respect for yourself as well as others.

...you are willing to dedicate yourself to the cause of Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority, Inc.
...you can manage your time well enough to work for Zeta and maintain
good standing in your
ACADEMICS.
...you believe in all of your heart that you are dedicated to our
principles and philosophies.
...you are concerned with the idea of "Quality, not quantity."
...you have a desire to help the community and uplift the image of the
African-American woman.
...you consider yourself to be a lady of good stature.
...you want to join a real sisterhood. Those who join Zeta are not only
women of Zeta Phi Beta, but true sorors of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, our
brothers.
...you don't just want to "wear" letters, but do something with them.
Since its inception, Zeta has been community service oriented.
