Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity

Join a Chapter

ZBT is the fraternity of firsts. We are proud of our founding as the first Jewish fraternity. Today, ZBT is open to men of all backgrounds and religions. We also were the first fraternity to abolish membership tiers, commonly called pledging, as a means of ending hazing.

Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity is forward-thinking, yet mindful of our traditions. We are focused on individual brothers, yet encompassing of the culture of our Brotherhood. Above all, we value integrity and equality, yet we remember that those qualities are a choice made by each man for himself.

Interested in joining the Brotherhood for a Lifetime?

It’s great to be a ZBT!

Testimonials

  • “I am honored to be part of a brotherhood that prides itself on its values. I see this whenever I meet a brother, whether current or alumni, and know that they are a man of good character. I have confidence in our brothers to live with Social Responsibility in their minds and Brotherly Love in their hearts. Having a global network of like-minded and good-hearted brothers gives me the motivation to achieve my goals within ZBT and all aspects of my life.”

  • “I have found a home and family I never knew I had. No matter what walk of life you may have made to come to ZBT, you are here now. (ZBT is) a brotherhood that is beyond compare. The bonds go beyond friends and family. Remember that your letters are something that you will wear for the rest of your life.”

  • “What makes ZBT unique is that it is a Jewish fraternity and that it is non-pledging and non-hazing. I personally do not feel that there is a need to punish someone who is supposed to be considered your brother. The two-tier membership does not promote equality. I believe that every day we are growing to hopefully become better.”
