History
The Return of ZBT
In Spring 2015, two Columbia students got in touch with ZBT’s National Headquarters with interest of bringing back the fraternity to campus. In Fall of 2015, recruiters from ZBT Nationals arrived on campus to help re-establish a chapter. Fifteen Columbia students were initiated into ZBT’s new chapter at Columbia. The chapter is currently growing and plans on becoming an official chapter by the end of the 2015-2016 school year.
