A Message From Our VP Membership
Dear PNM’s,
My name is Sonia Gupta and I am honored to serve as the 2026 Vice President of membership for the Delta Zeta Kappa chapter at the University of Washington. Delta Zeta has shaped my college experience in ways I never expected, and I am so grateful to give back to the chapter that has given me so much.
As an incoming freshman at UW, coming from Southern California I was excited but also scared. I only knew a few people and wondered if I would ever find friends as close as the ones I had at home. Within my first week in Delta Zeta, as I got to know the women in my member class, I knew I had found my place at this school. The friendships I built here are deeper than I ever imagined possible. These women became the ones I study with, laugh with, cry with, and lean on. They are the first people I call with good news and the ones who show up without being asked when things are hard. I am so grateful to be surrounded by a group of strong, unique, and supportive women who helped me feel at home so much that now, when I leave for breaks, I say I’m “going back home” when I return to DZ.
What makes DZ special is not just the friendships, it’s the growth. This chapter is full of driven, thoughtful women who constantly push each other to be better. Better leaders. Better students. Better friends. Delta Zeta has challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, take on leadership, and become a stronger, more confident version of myself. I have grown academically, professionally, and personally because I have women beside me who believe in me and want the best for me.
There is no one “type” of Delta Zeta. We are all different: in our majors, interests, backgrounds, and personalities, but we are united by genuine care for one another. We lead with Delta Zeta’s six core values: curiosity, friendship, empowerment, community, citizenship, belonging, and here at UW’s Kappa chapter we proudly add diversity. We are intentional about creating a chapter where every member feels supported, included, and encouraged to thrive.
If you’re excited about Greek life, we can’t wait to meet you. If you’re nervous, I understand. It is a big decision. But I encourage you to show up as yourself and trust that there is space for you here. You deserve genuine friendships and a community that helps you grow into the best version of yourself.
I hope you find the same sense of belonging that I did.
With Delta Zeta love,
Sonia Gupta
Vice President of Membership
