Why should I join Delta Zeta?
In 2004, Delta Zeta was recognized for having the best new member program in the nation above all other sororities and fraternities! Being a Delta Zeta new member is filled with wonderful memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. One of the greatest benefits of becoming a new Delta Zeta member is becoming part of your pledge class, a group of new members just like yourself with whom you will bond with the most.


BID DAY
Bid Day is celebration to welcome our newest members into our Delta Zeta sisterhood. This fun and exciting day is filled with surprises and gives chance for our new members to bond with the rest of the chapter.

ROSEBUDDY
The Delta Zeta flower is the pink Killarney rose, hence the name "Rosebuddy". Each week of your new member period, Delta Zetas are paired up with an older sister, to spend time with and get to know. This gives new members the chance to get to know other sisters.A Rosebuddy is one particular sister who welcomes a new member into the sisterhood of Delta Zeta. She is a sister you can go to with questions and of course she spoils you with all sorts of fun DZ stuff!

In Delta Zeta we share a special tradition of family trees. Each new member receives a Big Sis and enters a particular family legacy. New members are showered with gifts from the day they receive a bid until Big Sis Revealing.


Events for Delta Zeta's New Members:

Lip Sync

Lip Sync is a song and dance competition between all the sorority new member pledge classes! Each pledge class comes up with a song and dance routine which is then performed. Every year Lip Sync has a theme. The 2004 theme was Dancin Through the Decades and Delta Zeta’s new members performed an 80’s dance routine to the songs “Material Girl” and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”.

New Member Retreat
Each year, the new member pledge class goes on an overnight retreat. It is a night of bonding and sisterhood and a chance to have fun! In 2004, the new member pledge class enjoyed a night of sisterhood at the lake.
