16 Cal State Long Beach students await initiation for a new CSULB chapter.
Sixteen students in the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity have been invited to join the eight other Interfraternity Council fraternities and colonies in the Cal State Long Beach Greek System during the 2007-08 academic year.
Zeta Beta Tau was founded in 1898 as the nations First Jewish fraternity in New York City. Today, it is the oldest and largest growing Jewish fraternity, with more than 80 chapters and 110,000 undergraduate and alumni members nationwide. Niall Adler, a Zeta Beta Tau chapter advisor, said that the recruits are awaiting to start off the new fraternity until approval from the national fraternity. "As of right now, the current members are still considered a colony until the Zeta Beta Tau decided to initiate them into a chapter," Adler said. The members who get initiated into the first official Chapter will be considered the founding fathers for Zeta Beta Tau at CSULB, which will start off an exciting experience for the years to follow. By becoming a founding father, "an amazing leadership opportunity is at hand," Adler said.
Along with all the other fraternities at CSULB there will be many different academic and leadership programs available to help personal development of the new members. The new members can become involved in social events, community service, and academic leadership programs. The members of ZBT will definitely be a strong fraternity.
To be given a bid to join the fraternity, the incoming members need to pledge and within the first 72 hours of pleadging, during the initiation the pledges are basically given the opportunity to become a full brother. By becoming part of the fraternity the new members receive all of the responsibilites and rights as the rest of the chapter and are eligible to take on any position within the house.
