As far as National rhetoric goes . . . that is more honest than most of ours . . .

"In numbers we are not large. With approximately 50 chapters and 20,000 members worldwide, Zeta Psi pales in comparison to the larger members of the National Interfraternity Conference. Despite our rich history extending back to 1847, the majority of our chapters have fewer than 50 members, and often less than 30. With a few exceptions, most of us consider our small numbers to be a tremendous asset, both at the chapter and international levels. Even our larger chapters, like the Phi Lambda at the University of Washington, hold in high esteem the importance of closely-knit, universal friendships that our smaller chapters, by their nature, provide.

"As an international organization, we emphasize academics. While individual chapters vary widely in their academic success, we strive to exist in circles of academic excellence. Our chapters are generally found at campuses of the highest academic repute -- we have sponsored chapters at all of the Ivy League schools. We do not encourage the exclusion of members based on academic performance, but our constitution does recommend that academic standing play a role in member selection. More importantly, we, the alumni, emphasize that the undergraduates should work hard to accomplish their primary goal."
