Delta Zeta is one of the only true sororities in the world. Most sororities are actually women's fraternities.

Delta Zeta is the second largest sorority in the nation (out of 26 National Panhellenic groups) with over 200,000 alumnae and collegiate members.

Our 161 college chapters are distributed from coast to coast while our 250 alumnae chapters offer continuing association in 50 states, including Hawaii, Alaska, as well as the United Kingdom and Canada.

Delta Zeta's badge was voted the Prettiest Badge by Tiffany & Co. for two consecutive years.


Other Greek Fun Facts...

Studies show that 76% of our nation's senators, 71% of the men listed in Who's Who in America, and 85% of the Fortune 500 Executives are fraternity members.

All but two U.S. Presidents since 1825 have been fraternity men, and 63% of the U.S. President's cabinet members since 1900 have been Greek.

Of the nation's 50 largest corporations, fraternity members head 43.

A U.S. government study shows that 71% of fraternity members graduate from college, while just over 50% of all non-Greeks graduate.

Over 7% million is raised every year by Greeks nationally and 850,000 hours are volunteered by Greeks annually.

Less than 2% of an average college student's expenses go toward fraternity dues.
