our zeta beta chapter of chi omega at the university of arizona

Zeta Beta is near and dear to all of our hearts, founded in 1922, our rich history on campus at the University of Arizona is extensive and interesting! Zeta Beta is home to; freshman year roommates, our first college friends and loyal sisters through and through. Whether we’re attending philanthropy events or basking in the Arizona sun we can count on our sisters to be by our sides.  Our sisterhood is different than many others, we strive to recruit Chi Omegas that are radiant, kind and hardworking women from all over the country. Not everyone is alike and we understand this, we believe that diversity and uniqueness is what makes this world an amazing place, we are proud to say that our sisters are like no other- while still being a cohesive chapter.

We participate in philanthropic events across campus, while also running our own events throughout the year (check out our philanthropy page above for more information.) Our chapter also hosts exciting bonding group events such as, sisterhood events and study parties! We take great pride in our carefully balanced academic and social calendars. We currently hold one of the highest GPA among Fraternal and Panhellenic chapters here on campus, Chi Omega is the best of both worlds!

Above all else, our sisters we meet during recruitment and on bid day quickly become our family. From hosting bonding events for our new member class, to assigned upperclassmen each week of your first month at college, your resources are endless, our sisters in Chi Omega make our campus of 39,000 students feel cozy. Please keep exploring our website for more fun facts, photos and examples of what it means to be a Chi Omega.

Laney Steppler- Vice President

Hello, I am so happy you’re here!

Welcome to Zeta Beta - my name is Dylann and I am the Vice President of Chi Omega. Being chosen for a leading position in our chapter is an incredible honor and a role that has already brought such joy, opportunity, and incredible learning experiences into my life (and continues to do so!). Chi Omega has inspired and pushed me to become the individual I am today, and I hope these words give you even a little glimpse into the significance that our chapter holds in all of our lives. 

As the Vice President, I oversee all areas of academics within our chapter, where I plan and execute academic programming to ensure Chi Omega is achieving and pursuing scholastic excellence. I support our members in their academic endeavors while providing them with the resources needed to succeed academically. Chi Omega is full of driven, dedicated women, and their ability to balance school, extracurriculars, and more is just one of the many attributes that makes our chapter stand out. However, Zeta Beta is much more than just scholarships and academic achievements; our members exemplify how women supporting and guiding one another can truly make a difference in the world.

One of my favorite parts about Chi Omega is that it is an organization that goes beyond just four years - it is a sisterhood and support system that lasts a lifetime. The chapter sets you up to succeed academically, professionally, and socially after college, and I know that no matter where I end up in the world, there will always be a Chi Omega that I can reach out to for anything. Zeta Beta’s ambition is not forced; it is a choice they make every day to be part of something greater than themselves. They understand that by doing so, they can pave the way for a better future and leave a lasting impact on those around them.

I am so incredibly grateful for Zeta Beta and the way this chapter has shaped me into the woman, leader, friend, and student that I am today.

All my love,

Dylann Sweeney
