A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Dear potential new member,
Thank you for coming to our website to learn more about the Lambda Sigma chapter of Delta Zeta. Here, you will have a small glimpse into what life is like as a sister of Delta Zeta at Winthrop University. I joined Delta Zeta in the Fall of 2022 as a freshman. I wanted to join an organization to find friends in college, but I chose Delta Zeta because I saw the genuine lifelong connections I could make. I saw the way each sister deeply cared about one another and I wanted to have it too. Delta Zeta isn't just another sorority. It is built on empowerment, generosity, community, belonging, and curiosity. These values, which were created in 1902, are what make us unique. As a chapter, we strive everyday to grow academically, philanthropically, and sisterly. Joining Delta Zeta has helped me to develop into the woman I never imagined or thought I would be but so thankful that I am today. It is important for us to find members who embody our creed which states to "walk truly in the light of the flame." This means to live everyday as a true Delta Zeta sister by remembering our teachings and values. We love having you explore our site and I can only hope you find in Delta Zeta exactly what I did when I was in your shoes.
MEET OUR NEW MEMBER EDUCATOR!
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO BECOME NEW MEMBER MOM?
I decided to become the New Member Educator because I wanted to gain more out of my Delta Zeta experience, beyond being an active sister. I wanted to be someone people can come to with questions, and feel comfortable around!
The New Member Mom is the Vice President of New Member Education. She prepares our New Members for initiation by teaching them Delta Zeta history, our creed, rituals, values, and general processes. This year, the Pledge Class of 2025's New Member Educator is Caroline Hammond.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED FOR DURING YOUR TERM?
I’m most excited for bid day, and big little reveal. Those are two of the things I put so much effort into and it is amazing to watch them come together and have sisters be so excited for! Definitely some of the most rewarding nights :)
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT DELTA ZETA?
My favorite thing about DZ is definitely being able to hang out with my sisters literally anytime of the day, and the fact that I live with a few of them! I also love going to sisterhood events because it encourages us to bond with sisters who aren’t in our inner circle!
WHAT DO YOU WANT POTENTIAL NEW MEMBERS TO KNOW BEFORE FALL RECRUITMENT?
I want PNMS to know that the need to trust the process! You will end up where you are supposed to be, and even though it can be scary and overwhelming, you will find your people!
