Zeta Beta Tau Credo
We, the members of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity, believe that the development of the individual as a responsible, mature member of society is the primary goal of the university today.

Social Responsibility. Fraternity requires the individual to commit himself and accept his responsibility to participate.

Integrity. Fraternity generates a standard of personal integrity- a framework for the individual to maintain honesty, exhibit loyalty and retain a sense of self-discipline.

Brotherly Love. Fraternity inspires and expresses the interrelation of the individual with his fellows, his pride in the institution and respect for the wisdom of its tradition.
