New Member Experience

The Zeta Is Forever New Member Experience emphasizes the values of the Fraternity, found in our Creed. The weekly lessons are: Seek Greatness, Seek Understanding, Seek Purpose, Seek Sisterhood and Seek the Noblest.

Prior to the weekly meeting, new members complete an online educational workshop regarding that week’s topic. These online workshops allow for fewer lectures and more discussion and engagement with other new members during meetings, building overall sisterhood and a connection to the Fraternity. The meetings include icebreakers, a review of the online module, interactive activities and a personal reflection.

All first-year Zetas participate in the New Member Experience, CommunityEdu, Initiation and two post-Initiation lessons (Seek Meaning and Seek Commitment) during the same semester as when they join the chapter.

The new member experience is by far the BEST welcome into Zeta Tau Alpha! The start of the experience is called bid day, which is a day you will never forget! Not only do you get to run home to your new sisters, you also get to meet so many other girls right along your side! The guide into zeta following bid day builds upon those friendships and creates a bond like no other. Learning about our chapter and our sisterhood is what makes us more than just a chapter, it makes us home! I am so excited to welcome home NMC’21 and teach them everything there is to know about this AMAZING chapter!! ZLAM - Emma Flynn, VP2 New Member Coordinator
