It’s critical to ensure that all chapter/prospective chapter deadlines are met for ZBT and your institution. See ZBT’s deadline and dues sheet for the current academic year for full information.

FEES AND DUES

Joining a fraternity is an investment in your future. Though chapters may have additions or changes that require a different local dues amount, ZBT International Headquarters has a base fee structure in place that all our chapters and prospective chapters must follow.

This infographic offers a greater understanding of where international dues are spent and how they are broken down. We encourage brothers and families to review all the information and contact ZBT International Headquarters with any questions, comments, or concerns. We work hard to provide top-notch programming and servicing to our undergraduates and alumni.

ZBT requires a uniform office structure that gives our chapters the best leadership plan for a strong brotherhood and accreditation through the Standards of Excellence program. More details on the responsibilities of each officer are available from your staff liaison and manuals for each role are available in the myZBT portal Resource Center.
