Message from our President

Greetings,

Welcome to the national website of Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority, Incorporated. Our sisterhood is one that is incredibly powerful, transformative and magnificent to all Sorors involved. Founded in 1991, we have been grounded in our core values that continue to stand strong in their meaning to each soror years after our founding. These core values are Education, Success, Culture, Service, and Sisterhood. These values are the foundation that ground our intentions, inspirations, and vision for this organization.

Zeta Sigma Chi is an organization working hard to create spaces where all can feel empowered to reach their highest potential and strive to create change that echoes throughout our society. On a personal note, I credit this organization for making me the woman that I am today. It gave me a space to learn where women can come together to grow, seek truth, and change the world by stepping into our power as leaders all while being grounded in an unshakable sisterhood. It gave me the love that is necessary in the pursuit of one’s dreams, remembering that when lost you can always turn to your Sorors to bring you back home. Most importantly, it offered me the power, insight, and ability to find my voice. As a collective, we are constantly in the pursuit of what is just, what is right, and what is needed for all in this lifetime. As a sisterhood nearing 1,000 members we recognize that we cannot do this alone and we need the support of each other. This bond creates the power in this organization that pushes us forward in the pursuit of our dreams.

On behalf of our sisterhood, I welcome you to our website to learn more about the work that we do and our sisterhood.

Thank you,
Alisha Lineswala
National Board President

How long is the process of establishing a chapter?

There is no set amount of time the process takes, as it is highly dependent on the women who are attempting the task. Starting an Associate Chapter is a challenging and rewarding experience. You are bringing an organization like no other to your university, and that is priceless.

What fees are involved?

As with any other Greek organization, there are certain fees that are required during the process. Fundraising for these fees is highly recommended. ZSC works with groups to create flexible payment plans. All fees submitted during the process are given back to the members in a number of ways. We do acknowledge and support varying socioeconomic situations and are willing to work with interested ladies to ensure you can pursue establishing a chapter under the right circumstances.

Do I have to travel?

ZSC is a national organization with chapters all across the country. Traveling is essential in ensuring that you create bonds and relationships with sisters.

Can I use symbols of Zeta Sigma Chi?

No. The use of Zeta Sigma Chi letters, colors, symbols and nicknames prior to initiation into the organization is frowned upon. Members have worked hard to earn this privilege. Please respect their efforts.

What is the next step?

The next step you can take is starting an official interest group. An interest group is a group of women who share the goal of establishing the sorority on their campus. A minimum of ten women is needed to establish an official interest group, but it is highly recommended that more than ten women join.
