As a national fraternal organization, Delta Zeta Sorority supports the leadership,
philanthropic, and educational goals of its 207,000 collegiate and alumnae members.
Within that spirit, the Delta Zeta national organization supports world-wide alumnae and
collegiate members of all 158 college chapters and university partners in sustaining a
strong and supportive service and philanthropic organization.

The national organization stands by its open invitation to members and DePauw University
officials in supporting the former and current members of the chapter together. Delta
Zeta's national leadership will continue to seek opportunities to work in an open and fair
manner with members and DePauw University. The Delta Zeta national organization looks
forward to creating a solution that is win-win-win: one that (1) benefits and protects our
members and alumnae, (2) supports the University by maintaining a viable Chapter for the
benefit of current and future students and (3) meets the membership and business
obligations of the national organization.

The women of Delta Zeta, whether active collegiate participants or alumnae, remain
members in good standing of Delta Zeta. In addition, the isolated incident at DePauw is
simply that, an isolated incident, and has no bearing on any other chapter of Delta Zeta.

The Delta Zeta national organization is saddened that the isolated incident at DePauw has
been mischaracterized. Delta Zeta will continue its commitment, as stated in its
Constitution, to select members based on their 'moral, social and intellectual worth.'
Membership shall not be denied because of race, color, religion, national origin or
handicap, as stated in Delta Zeta's Constitution, Article III, Section 3.
