"Why, in my day..." said the grumpy old man...

I don't know how they do it now, but in the early 90's when I was an undergrad, Zeta numbers were assigned by IHQ. Our Gamma sent in a list of brothers initiated on a certain date, and based on number of credits, then alphabetically by last name, we were given our numbers.

For example, there were 10 in my class. 6 upper-classmen and 4 freshmen. As a freshman with a last name starting with "B," I was seventh, followed by a "G," an "H," and a "Y."

We had to wait until the following semester to order our (stunning black satin disco-style) jackets because we hadn't received our Zeta numbers yet.
