On December 3, 1987, the West Coast of the
United States saw a new movement - the beginning of Latino
Fraternities. Brought together with the purpose of addressing the
shortcomings that Latino Students faced in higher education, Fifteen
young men from Chico State University came together to form a
student organization far beyond their time. With a vision of
Academic Excellence, Community Service, and the Maintenance of the
Latino Culture through the bonds of brotherhood, these gentlemen
brought an institution onto their campus that has become one of the
leading Latino student organizations on the West Coast of the United
States.
Gamma Zeta Alpha
Fraternity, Inc. is proud to be the First Latino Interest Fraternity
on the West Coast and for two decades, we have become a vehicle for
creating the Latino Leaders of tomorrow and as an instrument for
promoting the development of Latino males in higher education.
Realizing the importance of Academic Excellence, we are a fraternity
that emphasizes academic programs that aid in the retention,
guidance and overall development of students in higher education so
that they may enter the work force with the experience necessary to
succeed. Alumni brothers of Gamma Zeta Alpha Fraternity, Inc. have
gone on to work in a wide array of professions such as engineering,
law, medicine, government, high-tech, and business
fields.
The Mu Chapter at Sacramento State University was established
on May 9, 2003 by ten young visionaries who felt the need for a
support group whose main emphasis is to help every brother make it
to the top of the pyramid and succeed at the University level and
beyond. The Mu Chapter is comprised of different majors; ranging
from engineering, to buisness, to leisure studies, and more. Our presence has
already been felt at Sacramento State,throughout our community
service and social interactions with other organizations on
campus.
