the award + letter from the review board

Congratulations to Iota Chapter for winning the "Expectations in Excellence in Strategic Planning" award at the Fraternity and Sorority Achievement Reception today! This is one of the few top awards given out to Greek organizations and makes it the fourth year in the row that we have received honorable recognition by the University and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs (OFSA). What was once considered a small MGC organization that seemed to stand no chance against the large Greek organizations on campus, is now growing to be one of the most influential Greek organizations on our campus. I'm so proud of all the SYZters who have dedicated so much time and effort into getting Sigma Psi Zeta to where it is now. We've come a long way & let's hope we continue this legacy! <3Crisis

Sigma Psi Zeta - Iota Chapter

Sigma Psi Zeta is the first and only multicultural Asian Interest Sorority on the University of Rochester campus. We emphasize leadership, scholarship, advocacy, community service and cultural awareness.

Sigma Psi Zeta works to promote awareness of the Asian/Asian American cultures and heritages amongst the students and faculty of our campus. We believe the strength of our foundation derives not just from the unity of our sisterhood, but also from the individuality of our members.

The Iota Chapter of Sigma Psi Zeta was established by Wincheng Lin and Jeanette Moy on December 1, 2000 at the University of Rochester. These women, united by their desire to affect change on their campus and the surrounding communities, create a lasting sisterhood, and promote unity among women and those of the Asian/Asian American community, set forth to bring a charter of Sigma Psi Zeta to their campus in the Spring, 1999. As friends, and later as roommates, they occasionally discussed the creation of an asian-interest sorority. They wanted an organization that would be beyond the bonds of friendship and instead hold bonds of sisterhood. Jeanette's older sister was a Sister of the Alpha Chapter of Sigma Psi Zeta, and after careful consideration, the two desired to join the organization that Sister Zoe had joined years before. It was not until Fall 2000, however, that their vision was realized. Their friendship was unparalleled, and with each other's support, no challenge was insurmountable. With much perseverance, determination and work, these ladies, known now as Trax and Fenix, became the Iota Charters.
