College is a once in a lifetime experience that should not be hindered because of the economic downturn. The benefits of belonging to Zeta outweigh the costs ten-fold. The memories, friends, learned life-lessons and personal growth that come from Zeta are invaluable and we want every girl to have a chance to experience the sisterhood that each one of us has found here at our home away from home.
