Zen Society

Zen is a practice and a school of thought that leads us to examine, intensively and honestly, the fundamental questions of our lives. The NU Zen Society exists to help you develop the skills necessary to realize the deeper understanding of and lifelong development of the self that arise out of "doing Zen." We encourage all members of the Northwestern community to come take a look. Peruse our website (www.nuzen.org) or get in touch with us (KristenRadtke2012@u.northwestern.edu) to find out more!

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated

On January 16, 1920, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded at Howard University on the precepts of Scholarship, Service, Sisterly Love and Finer Womanhood. It was the first Greek letter organization to charter a chapter in Africa; form adult and youth auxiliary groups; centralize in a national headquarters; and is the ONLY sorority constitutionally bound to a fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. The Nu Sigma Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta was chartered on Northwestern's campus in 2005 and since its inception, members of the chapter have been committed to upholding the sorority's principles.
