When a woman joins Delta Zeta, most typically during her
undergraduate days, she is looking for a group of friends, a home away from
home, to learn leadership skills and a place to have fun. Many of us don’t
anticipate anything beyond what we find on our campus where we are enrolled in
school. And even after our new member period, where we learn everything from
the Founders to details about the philanthropy and service events we support,
the lifetime commitment we have just made might seem somewhat foggy.
Membership in Delta Zeta begins during college, but has the
opportunity to extend well beyond. If you look at the different sections of our
Creed, it starts with a commitment “To The World.” Your world might be the
chapter you currently belong to, but after graduation that world rapidly
expands. You may move to a new city, start a new job, meet the love of your
life, and start a family. Each life event changes what your “world” looks like.
Every member of Delta Zeta is a member of very different worlds at different
points in her life. But, we share one thing in common, our belief in our
sisterhood which can provide comfort and support for not only our members, but
those in our communities; the “worlds” of which we are a part.
At this time, in light of the events this past week in
Connecticut, you may feel scared, nervous, sad or just looking for answers
on how to meet the challenges of the world, reflect upon the Delta Zeta Creed
and know that your sisters are there with you through it all.
