To these remarkable women, Zeta was more than an organization; it was part of a belief system that reflected, at its core, the desire to embrace Scholarship, provide true Service, set a standard for Sisterhood, and define Finer Womanhood. This belief has sustained and encouraged Zetas around the world to hold fast to the ideals initiated and developed by its beloved founding members.
