Since being a freshman year here at JMU, I wanted to become a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated for both professional and personal growth reasons. I have always shied away from Greek life because of the stigmas associated with it, however, Zeta has debunked those many of those stigmas by not conforming to the majority. I appreciate that this organization embodies virtues, genuine sisterly love and self-confidence. There is beauty in a group of women using their knowledge to uplift each other, rather than tearing each other down. Membership into Zeta Phi Beta will grant me additional opportunities to educate, love and provide guidance to others; as well as continue my growth in intellect, leadership abilities, confidence and maturity.
