Loving Delta Zeta: Sincere and lasting friendship

First in a four part series on how Delta Zeta members show their love of the Sorority by acting upon the ideals found in our Purpose.

We’ve all heard the old saying, “actions speak louder than words.” This is very evident in our experiences as Delta Zeta members. Sure, you can stand up at chapter and recite the Creed word for word, but do you consciously think about those words throughout the week between meetings when you are undertaking your everyday activities? Delta Zetas ideals don’t stop at the chapter house door. How do we consciously bring our love for Delta Zeta to life every day?

This month our blog is going to focus in on Delta Zeta’s Purpose, which has four simple parts and one way to bring it to life.

The purpose of this sorority shall be to unite its members in the bonds of sincere and lasting friendship, to stimulate one another in the pursuit of knowledge, to promote the moral and social culture of its members, and to develop plans for guidance and unity in action; objects worthy of the highest aim and purpose of associated effort. The purpose of this sorority shall be advanced through the National Convention, the National Council, and the college and alumnae chapters. Constitution of the Delta Zeta Sorority, Article II, Sections 1 and 2

Did you see them? The four ideals that Delta Zeta is built upon? They are sincere and lasting friendship, pursuit of knowledge, moral and social culture and plans for guidance and unity and action. How does Delta Zeta do this? Through you, our members. Whether it is the voting delegates at National Convention, our elected National Council or our college and alumnae chapters, our members are advancing Delta Zeta’s Purpose every day.

We asked on Twitter for our followers to tell us in 150 words or less what the first Delta Zeta ideal, sincere and lasting friendship, meant to them. Here is what your sisters had to say via Storify.
