What does it mean to be a Zeta?
It means excellence, courage, and love.
It means purity and peace.
For Zeta is truly like a dove.
Zeta means compassion,
Hard work, saying, “I will” and not “I would”,
Zeta is the epitome
Of true Sisterhood.
Zeta, oh sweet Zeta
Always held in the highest esteem,
Sisterly love, cultural advancement, working for all
That’s what Zeta means.
Zeeee-Phiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooooo-Sweeeeeetttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s not your brother,
He’s not your frat.
You’re not related,
So stop all that
If you weren’t founded
One by the other,
He’s not your bro, he’s not your frat, he’s not your brother.
If you wear red, (OOOOO-OOOOPs)
And he wears gold (Q-Bark)
He’s not your brother
Haven’t you been told?
If you do this (Sigma Rho sign)
And he does that (Kappa sign)
He’s not your brother, he’s not your bro, he’s not your frat.
If you’re a pearl, (skeee-wee)
And he’s a jewel, (06)
He’s not your brother,
You silly fool
We’re here to tell you
One simple fact
That we’re the sorors
That have true frat.
Zeeeeee-Phiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
