New
Member Information
Being a Delta Zeta new member is filled with wonderful memories that
will be cherished for a lifetime. One of the greatest benefits of
becoming a new Delta Zeta member is being able to show your DZ PRIDE
right after you accept your Delta Zeta bid by wearing our Greek
letters!!!
BID DAY - "The Best Just got Better" Bid Day is a night of
celebration in welcoming our newest members into our Delta Zeta
sisterhood. This fun and exciting event is filled with surprises and a
chance for our new members to bond with the rest of the chapter.
ROSEBUDDY - The Delta Zeta flower is the pink Killarney rose,
hence the name "Rosebuddy". A Rosebuddy is a special sister a new member
bonds with during recruitment. A Rosebuddy is a sister who welcomes a
new member into the sisterhood of Delta Zeta. You can go to her with
questions and of course she spoils you with all sorts of fun DZ stuff!
BIG/LIL SIS WEEK - In Delta Zeta we share a special tradition of
family trees. Each new member will receive a Big Sis and will enter a
particular family legacy. New members are showered with gifts from
their unknown big sister during Big/Lil Sis Week. At the end of each
week, your big sisters are revealed to new members.
LAMPLIGHTING - This is a dear and old tradition that all Delta
Zeta chapters across the United States partake in. This event, known as
Lamplighting, is held prior to initiation. It is a special time for the
new member class to reflect on what they have learned during their
pledge-ship and bond with each other before becoming active members in
the chapter.
