Ten Rays of SYZterhood
When our Sorority first began, our 10 Founders came together to establish an organization that would better their university and community. These womxn united together to create a lasting entity. The Ten  Rays of SYZterhood, like the Ten Founders, form the basis for our sorority. They are the  characteristics all SYZters work to best exemplify.  

As our SYZterhood grows and evolves, Sigma Psi Zeta's National Board continually develops  initiatives that will encourage our SYZters to succeed, while still remaining connected to the history and  vision of the sorority. With this in mind, the Ten Rays of SYZterhood link the natural progression of the  organization to the spirit with which the sorority was first envisioned in the Fall of 1993.  ​
