Mentorship

VISION 

Develop Zeta Psi Mentorship Program that accelerates the personal and professional development of Phi Lambda undergraduates. This is achieved by providing mentees with guidance, advice, and feedback from mentors with relevant career experience in the undergraduate’s desired field.  

PROGRAM GOALS

  • Support Zeta Psi undergraduates with coaching, information, contacts, and guidance to enhance their educational path at UW and position them for current and future career opportunities.
  • Change the narrative on our fraternity from 'we don't haze’ to 'we focus on helping you transition from college to career’ .
  • Drive alumni connection and engagement.
  • Strengthen recruitment thru a differentiated program offering a competitive advantage.
  • Provide recruiting pool for Zeta Psi Alumni workforce.

HOW DOES THE PROGRAM SUPPORT UNDERGRADUATES

All Zeta Psi undergraduates from freshman-senior year will have the opportunity to grow their connections and form foundational skills that will ease their transition from the University of Washington into professional careers.

Mentoring activities and events will evolve as undergrads approach graduation.  Early years will be focused on awareness, knowledge transfer and information sharing. Later years will be focused on one-on-one mentoring & coaching and readiness for landing a job.

The table below encapsulates the journey an undergraduate goes through from the time they decide to attend the University of Washington until post-graduation and showcases some of the activities and events that are offered along the way.

Undergraduate Testimonials

Waseem Khalil, a current sophomore studying Human Centered Design Engineering at UW
“Being a part of the fraternity's career mentoring program has been a game-changer for me. Not only have I been able to gain valuable insights and advice from successful alumni, but I've also been able to network with professionals in my desired industry. It's a unique opportunity that has truly helped me grow both personally and professionally.”

Ryan McLendon, a junior studying economics, secured a spring internship through the Zeta Psi network at Buffalo Industries.
“I was really thrilled to receive my internship opportunity and be able to work for a previous Phi Lambda. It’s a great asset to have another web of relationships through the fraternity on top of those that I’ve made through the school,”

WHEN DO ACTIVIES AND EVENTS TAKE PLACE

The Mentorship Program is grounded through two Anchor events that happen twice a year – one in Fall Quarter and one in Winter Quarter. More focused activities like mentoring and digital offerings are always on and happen throughout the school year.
