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 233 Langdon Street is still brand-new, and it has been filled with a great group of guys since the day we got it.
