Statement of Purpose
Zeta Beta Tau is dedicated to the enhancement of the college
experience. Its goal, similar to that of the University, is to help young
men develop into free-thinking and responsible adults. We believe that
close interaction in a setting conductive to trust and honor is an essential
component of the college experience.
Whether in the lecture hall, the playing field, or anywhere else, Zeta
Beta Tau Fraternity encourages its members to be leaders in the community
and in its student government. After graduating, our brothers become leaders
in medicine, engineering, law, business, and many other disciplines.
Helping people develop themselves to the fullest potential is the main
purpose of brotherhood and ZBT. Through friendship, trust, and brotherhood,
Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity is a proven way to gain the most from the college
experience and to provide a firm basis for success after graduation.
