Recruitment is held two times during the academic school year, once in the fall semester and once in the spring semester. They are typically hosted within 3 weeks of the start of the semester. Our recruitment is separate from the Panhellenic Council’s recruitment week at WSU as our organization is part of the Multicultural Greek Council. To stay up to date with our recruitment schedule follow us on our social media @wsu.syz, and/or message us.

Absolutely not. Sigma Psi Zeta enforces a strict non-hazing policy. Our organization's national philanthropy is to combat the violence against women, and stand up against the disrespect of women in all its myriad forms.

There is no “typical” Sigma. SYZterhood is not a mold for women to fit into, nor does it define a person's character. Each SYZter contributes their talent, idealism, devotion, and energy to Sigma Psi Zeta, giving our SYZterhood the character it has today. With the unique bonds and special memories formed as SYZters, we hope that each member will change our SYZterhood, helping it to grow and evolve through time.

Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, Inc. does not have a brother fraternity. As a sorority that prizes strong, independent women, we have made a deliberate choice to remain unaffiliated with another Greek organization.
