The founder of ONE is a dove and she has blue and white in her veins. (Zeta Phi Beta). She knows elephants with red and white in their veins. (Delta Sigma Theta). She knows ivy leafs with pink and green in their veins. (Alpha Kappa Alpha). And, she knows poodles with blue and gold in their veins. (Sigma Gamma Rho). She is no stranger to sorority life.
What she realized while pledging is that the bond you experience with women who share a common purpose is a rare form of beauty. She discovered that her resolve was stronger knowing that someone else was "suffering" along with her. She discovered a sense of sisterhood that would transcend geographic boundaries.
Your Pledge Master will want you to want that same experience our Founder had in 1996 when she pledged Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.
If you complete the 100 days of this pledge process you will:
1. Be an Owl with tan and green in your veins. (Omicron Nu Epsilon)
2. Discover your real strength with other women on the same journey.
3. Discover a sisterhood that transcends race, age and size.
Each ONE Reach ONE
More history about pledging
Every sorority has a main name; your name will be Omicron Nu Epsilon.
Every sorority has a chapter name to identify the geographic location.
Every sorority has ship names to identify the collective body of women who underwent the pledging process.
The pledging process is a secret until you have the reveal. So, be prepared to tell your friends that you are "working out" not that you are "pledging a fitness sorority."
A big part of pledging is becoming familiar with the sorority, learning about every single member on your ship and learning about the Founder, Chris Omni.
