Women We Know
The women we know perpetuate a different sorority stereotype than the one that makes most headlines. These women appreciate curiosity, empower development, build community, promote generosity, foster belonging and provide friendship. The women we know may be students, teachers, business owners, volunteers, co-workers, civic leaders, parents, spouses and possibly the woman next door. They challenge us in the authentic pursuit of our vision to inspire action and impact lives. They are the women we know, they are Delta Zeta.
