Standards of Excellence

Zeta Beta Tau’s Standard of Excellence (SOE) process is aimed to recognize, award and assess chapter/prospective chapter performances in the areas outlined in the Zeta Beta Tau Mission and Credo. The purpose of SOE is to give a guide to chapters to align their operations, programs and activities to develop their brothers into leaders of their community and responsible, mature members of society.

There are four SOE categories, Intellectual Awareness, Social Responsibility, Integrity, and Brotherly Love. The components of each area were determined by the SOE Committee, composed of alumni and undergraduate brothers, ZBT International Headquarters staff and the Supreme Council. The components are directly related to THE JOURNEY and general chapter operations.

The SOE Accreditation process works on a calendar year cycle.
