Sisterhood, friendship, loyalty and pride are found daily in the lives and actions of the women of Delta Zeta. Founded in 1902 at Miami University, Delta Zeta is proud to be the largest international sorority, with over 170 chapters in the United States and Canada. Our flower is the killarney rose; our colors are rose and green; our jewel is the diamond; our mascot is the turtle.
Life as a Delta Zeta involves many women in many different areas; academics, community service, activities, social and sisterhood! Some of our academic programs include private study rooms at the Delta Zeta house, test files and academic sister of the week.
Delta Zeta's national philanthropy is speech and hearing impaired. Every fall we sponsor "Turtle Tug", a tug-o-war over green jello, where we raise money for a local speech and hearing impaired daycare. Besides donating time to our philanthropy, we also participate in events such as serving meals at the Francis House, gift baskets for families at Christmas and involvement in other Greek philanthropies.
Delta Zeta's social calendar is always filled with exciting events including theme date parties such as "DZ in Jammies", "Yabba Grabba DZ", and "Peace, Love and DZ". We have mixers with fraternities, date dashes, a semi-formal in the winter and our annual formal in the spring.
Being a Delta Zeta means finding a place where you belong, developing scholastically, morally, socially and being an accomplished woman on Creightons campus. This is apparent not only in our sorority, but also in our roles on campus. These include Creighton Students Union, residence life, service trips, Creighton athletics and Campus Ministry. All one hundred and five members of our Delta Zeta chapter take pride in our organization. Over the years, Delta Zetas have found the true meaning of friendship and the real experience of sisterhood that is the spirit of Delta Zeta.
