For Parents

Hi Parents!

The process of sending a student off to a college or university can be stressful, and there are many negative stereotypes surrounding fraternity life throughout the United States. However, at ZBT UW-Madison, we stand as a brotherhood committed to raising gentlemen on the four pillars of our credo: Intellectual Awareness, Social Responsibility, Integrity, and Brotherly Love.


When students join ZBT, they make a conscious decision to enter into a brotherhood that holds its members to the highest of standards in academics, social life, and collegiate life in general.


Here are just some initiatives that ZBT has taken nationwide to combat the negative stereotypes that surround fraternities:

Partnering with the Sigma Delta Tau Sorority and Jewish Women International through Safe Smart Dating, a program implemented nationwide to prevent and discuss dating abuse and sexual assault on campus.

Teaming up with Jewish Women International to pilot the Green Light Go program, which uses social activities to further understand the concept of consent and how it pertains to campus life.

Committing to understanding our Jewish Heritage through involvement with Hillel, Chabad, StandWithUs, AIPAC, ADL, and many more Jewish organizations.
