Delta Zeta Sorority

Recent discrimination allegations of a chapter of Delta Zeta sorority at DePauw University have put Cal State Long Beach’s nineteen sororities under scrutiny as well.

An article in the latest March issue of People Magazine, as well as a Feb. 25 article in The New York Times, claim the ladies of the DePauw University sorority as “kicked out” and allege that the reasons for their departure are due to their “social awkward” attitude and appearance.
This supposed shallow behavior has transcended into a negative media frenzy surrounding the sorority as well as other sororities around the nation.

“Despite the negative media surrounding the DePauw chapter of our Delta Zeta sorority, I’m proud of what our Greek community stands for and am proud to be a Delta Zeta.” says Alissa Urbano, CSULB Delta Zeta Chapter president.
