Why Rush ZBT?
ZBT has been the most prominent fraternal organization on campus since 2000. We do have our fun, but also do a large amount of philanthropy, service, and campus involvement. Our organization does more community service than any other organization on campus. We have brothers networked throughout campus as resident assistants, orientation leaders, presidents of student governments, campus senators, admissions officers, and more! ZBT will help you gain leadership, networking, never ending friendships, and more. ZBT stands out in the campus's eye's as the best on campus.
ZBT is also a non hazing fraternity. This means you will never get hit, humiliationed, or any other form of hazing that you have seen or heard about.
We do hold formals, date parties, bbq's, and mixers with sororities and sports teams throughout the year. They are always a good time.

Involvement
Perhaps one of ZBT's most acknowledable achievements year after year
is our dedication to service. Since our establishment in 2000, our chapter has
earned on average 950 hours of community service each year!
This total ismore than any other greek or community service organization on campus!
In Fall 2008 alone, Eta Gamma completed about 980 hours of
community service, the amount we usually complete in a whole year!!!
Below are most of the accomplishments of the past/current year:
Get On the Ball
In Fall 2008, Eta Gamma completed its first ever Get On the Ball charity event. This event was a big hit raising about $1500.00 for the Children's Miracle Network and earning ZBT about 400 hours of community service.
Concert Security
Each semester the brothers of ZBT coordinate and volunteer their time for the security of our fall and spring concerts
Pumpkinfest
Every fall the city of Oswego invites us to help with their annual pumpkinfest. This community event helps us give back to the children and parents of the community. Brothers of ZBT donated about 250 hours to this event in Fall 2008.
Annual Pasta Dinner
Our biggest charity event. Our pasta dinner raises an average of $1000 for the Children's Miracle Network each year. Our national philanthropy!
Can Drive
In response to Hurricane Katrina, we promptly set out for a can drive, which raised over $400 in funds for the American Red Cross
Annual Heart Run & Walk
Each year we have dozens of brothers take a road trip to Utica NY, and stay at our alumni's house. After a good night of bonding we participate in a 5k walk for the American Heart Association. We raise quite a few donations for charity.
Campus/Canal Clean Up
City wide event to pick up loose trash, and recycle it. We were able to talk with members of the city gov't as well as many campus leaders about many issues as well as help the environment.
Miss-A-Meal
Each semester brothers participate in this campus wide event. All procede's go to local and national charities.
other service/charity events we have held in the past year include:
