Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT, brothers of which are nicknamed Zebes) is a historically Jewish, presently nonsectarian national fraternity. Today the merged Zeta Beta Tau Brotherhood numbers over 110,000 Brothers, and ZBT Chapters and Colonies are established at over 80 campus locations. It was also one of the first National fraternities to abolish the institution of pledging in the early 1990s as a way to combat and eliminate hazing.
