Potential members of the Sorority have the right to participate in the process in environments that are not intentionally harmful.

Hazing in any form or fashion is contrary to the philosophy and objectives of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, and as such, the Sorority emphatically prohibits and denounces hazing.​
