"What's a 'Rosebud'?"
A "Rosebud" is the term sisters of Zeta Phi Delta use to classify individuals who have received and accepted a bid from our sorority & are currently going through the New Member--or "Rosebudding"--Process!


"How Can I Become a 'Rosebud'?"
Every spring semester, Zeta Phi Delta hosts our Recruitment, which is open to both undergraduate & graduate students that are currently enrolled at Marywood University. Each individual that attends is taken into consideration for membership. Following our Recruitment, bids are administered to those we wish to extend membership to. If an individual receives a bid and they accept, they will be considered "Rosebuds" & begin our Rosebudding Process to become official sisters within our sorority!
"What is the Rosebudding Process?"
The Rosebudding Process is a multi-week long process that will allow each Rosebud to further appreciate, learn about, & understand our Sisterhood! It also prepares Rosebuds for what is expected of them once they become sisters at the end of the Rosebudding Process--which will end upon Initiation!
