Zeta Tau Alpha is a nationally recognized fraternity - not a sorority because it was founded by young women without the help of a male fraternity - whose open motto is "Seek The Noblest" (not "Love... the greatest of all things"). ZTA is the third-largest Panhellenic organization in the nation with now over 191,000 initiated members and 148 active collegiate chapters across the country. ZTA has raised over thousands of dollars for their philanthropy, breast cancer research and awareness, and is partnered with Yoplait, the NFL, and Self Magazine to help raise awareness and funds for the cause. The overall goal of Zeta Tau Alpha is to foster friendship and sisterhood and to instill in its members nobility, integrity, and a commitment to high personal standards.

Get the Zeta Tau Alpha mug.Masculinist theory designing a stand-alone category in the structure of male dominance. In this theory, the males are divided in several categories including mainly Alphas (dominant), Betas (second) and Omegas (dominated) depending on their ability to pick a woman or their supposed status before a woman.
The Zetas are thought as independent outsiders that do not let themselves be defined by women's relationship to them. They are characterised by that refusal along with the rejection of traditionalism and any relationship in which they may be dominated, but not in which they may dominate.
Seemingly a "third way" for many men that suffers from the alpha/omega dynamic, this theory supposes that men should be free and bold in their way of living, independently to women who would be an evil agent of a power structure they seek to get rid off. However, this is very damaging to the average male since this attitude can only single him out, feed him with the fantasy of a world in which women are a completely outside force of their life or create a toxic masculinity which only results in toxic social relations.

Chad is such an alpha, but all he thinks about is women. I'm a zeta male, I can live without them and just pick one up occasionally.
That guy is such a beta, it sucks to be alpha-orbiting. I'm a zeta male, I can live without being entitled to an alpha and get all the women.
Brad decided to act more like a zeta male recently.
- How's it holding up ?
- I don't know, some girls thought he became some kind of an individualistic feminist when he explained it; but really it's the same as before but he does not look his crush in the eyes anymore.
