Zeta Beta Tau — Kappa Chapter
Welcome.
The Kappa Chapter of Zeta Beta Tau has a rich tradition of excellence at Cornell University. Residing on one of the largest properties in all of Ithaca at 1 Edgecliff Place, the brothers of ZBT pride themselves on the strength of the brotherhood. Although brothers have many different interests, temperaments, and convictions, brothers of the Kappa Chapter develop bonds much deeper than friendship, bonds that will last for their entire lives. The brothers of this house are individuals who want to become a part of something much more meaningful than just a group of friends.
Our Credo
We, the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity, believe that the development of the individual as a responsible, mature member of society is the primary goal of the university today.
We believe that fraternity offers to the university community a unique, desirable, and successful means of achieving this goal.
In fulfilling the purposes of fraternity, we dedicate ourselves to the principles of: Intellectual Awareness, Social Responsibility, Integrity, and Brotherly Love.
