This program is frequently assigned as a sanction for alcohol-related violations but can be requested by any ZBT chapter. Facilitators must be familiar with current undergraduate/campus culture, and ZBT risk management policies and procedures. Sessions run 90 minutes to two hours long, and travel is often involved. The Fraternity reimburses mileage or flight costs and meal expenses related to each visit.

Facilitators should be comfortable discussing Jewish history and ethno- and religion-based hate and should be familiar with general campus policies and procedures regarding freedom of speech and student safety.

Safe Smart Dating is an interactive educational program designed to explore gender norms, define healthy relationships, and train participants to be active bystanders. Preference will go towards ZBT brothers. This program occurs throughout the year. Each session lasts approximately 2 hours.
