Number 33 - 1975 brings a big year for Zeta Phi Eta. In light of the beginning debates of Title IX, which was being discussed on the federal level, Zeta Phi Eta national council gathered to discuss allowing men into the organization. They decided early in the year to pass a bylaw to allow membership before a federal mandate was issued to make the decision their own.
The Delta chapter at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, became the first chapter to initiate male members. Pictured are ten of the thirteen members that Delta initiated in the Spring semester of 1975. In the front row, from left to right are, Jeff Cohen and Phyllis Libowsky. In the back row, Sal LaFata, Meryl Kishel, Steve Carter, Eileen Cohen, Clark McMillion, Bruce Cadman, Michael Bocketti, and Deborah Herman. Absent when the picture was taken were David Lustig, Karen Breitman, and James Paluzzi.
