History

University of Wisconsin

ZBT began on campus in 1916 as a secret society known as the Octosa Club of Madison. In 1922, it was colonized by Zeta Beta Tau and became the Alpha Kappa chapter. Soon, ZBT at the University of Wisconsin was among the largest chapters in the nation." During the 1990s, ZBT left the UW campus. A few years ago, the Levin family and others brought ZBT back to Madison. Our house at 248 Langdon Street is over a hundred years old. Since we've been back on campus, the house has been filled with a great group of guys.
