Academics

As is the norm at MIT, we take academics seriously at Zeta Psi. In fact, MIT Fraternities, Sororities, and Independent Living Groups have a higher average GPA than the dorms! Our members are enrolled in 15 of the 20 majors and are involved in numerous research and lab projects. Due to this, we have a very solid academic support net--it is natural to see brothers working together and helping each other out at all hours of the day. Similarly, it is not uncommon to have older Brothers who are TAing underclassmen courses or have already taken a course help younger Brothers in that course. In fact, we have an explicit tutoring program for underclassmen. It is also common for older Brothers to donate course materials (study guides, books, etc.), to the Fraternity for any Brother's use; we store this material in our library. We also promote learning outside of the classroom: our alumni have often connected undergrads to internships that have given them valuble real-world skills. Below is a sampling of some of the research and internships Brothers are involved in.

Leadership

Of course there is much more to any MIT student than his/her academic excellence. MIT is an amazing place to continue one's passion for music, theater, and student government or to explore new and exciting activities like glassblowing or improve comedy. The Brothers of Zeta Psi are proud to have a strong presence in a wide variety of student organizations and clubs. For instance, a member of Zeta Psi has been an Orientation Coordinator in six of the last eight years, helping to plan and run the Orientation week for incoming freshmen. Our members also participate in organizations outside of MIT, such as the Relay for Life or Community Servings. A list of other student and outside organizations that Brothers participate in can be found below.
