SCHOLARSHIP – From our inception, Zeta women have embraced scholarship by encouraging the highest standards in the achievement of academic excellence of our members.
SERVICE – Never tiring in our efforts, Zeta is a community-conscious, action-oriented organization dedicated to transforming the lives of others.
SISTERHOOD – With over 125,000 initiated college-educated women, Zeta represents diverse careers ranging from businesswomen, elected officials, educators, doctors, nurses, military, and attorneys. We are mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, and friends. Our bond is strong and cannot be broken.
FINER WOMANHOOD – Often imitated but never duplicated, Zetas have been Finer since 1920, when Finer Womanhood became a sorority hallmark. Unique to our sisterhood, Finer Womanhood celebrates the standards, morals, customs, and attributes all women strive to possess.
About Us
Gamma Nu Alpha Zeta Chapter History
Chartered on August 14, 2019, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, Gamma Alpha Nu Zeta Chapter was founded by seven visionary women dedicated to service, sisterhood, and community empowerment. These trailblazers sought to establish a network of professional women committed to uplifting communities throughout Northern New England.
With their unwavering dedication, they made history—becoming the first National Pan- Hellenic Council (NPHC) graduate chapter in the region. Gamma Alpha Nu Zeta continues to uphold the esteemed principles of Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood, creating a lasting impact in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and beyond.
We invite you to connect with us as we work towards fostering change and serving with excellence!
