Zeta Beta Tau - Parents

The mission of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity is to foster and develop in its membership the tenets of its Credo: Intellectual Awareness, Social Responsibility, Integrity and Brotherly Love in order to cultivate leadership and service within their communities.

Mindful of its founding as the Nation’s first Jewish Fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau will seek to serve the undergraduate Jewish populations at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. All men of good character will be eligible for membership in Zeta Beta Tau.

Parents of undergraduate members of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity play an important role in assisting us with our efforts to accomplish this mission. Your involvement in the creation of and/or support of a local Chapter/Colony Parents Club will best assist us in our efforts to provide your son with the best opportunity for a quality (safe, non-pledging, non-hazing, academically oriented and social) fraternity experience.
