Commitment to Philanthropy

Zeta Psi brothers find more ways to give back to the community every year. In 2010, the Zeta Psi brotherhood has put in an average of 25 philanthropy hours per brother. This does not take into account the numerous philanthropic efforts brothers engage in on their own and is one of the highest averages of the 40+ Cornell fraternities.
