The brothers of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity do not believe in hazing. We also do not believe it is necessary for men to pledge a fraternity. You do not pledge ZBT- you join ZBT- all brothers have equal rights and responsibilities. From day one you are our brother. This does not mean you do not have to earn your membership. See below, you must earn it every day of your four years at DU.
We do not believe that it is necessary to subject our new brothers to physical and mental pain in order for them to gain access to our brotherhood. Once you join ZBT you have equal rights and responsibilities of any brother and have access to all the events that all other brothers do. In other words, we do not force you to do or anything which would degrade you as a brother of our fraternity or a person.
Furthermore, throughout your undergraduate years, the chapter has continuing membership educational programs. There are leadership and management training programs. We also have speakers and training programs on risk management, sexual assault awareness, alcohol use and abuse, mental health issues, and much more. Your growth and development is an ongoing process at Iota Chapter. In summary, if you have any questions regarding our zero-tolerance policy for hazing/pledging please contact our President.
