40 Under 40

From starting thriving businesses to becoming leaders in their communities, Zetes do incredible things after college! Zeta Psi’s 40 Under 40 program aims to recognize our brothers’ tremendous accomplishments in their personal and professional lives. We are thrilled to feature these brothers’ stories in hopes that they may inspire the next generation of Zetes to dream big and work hard in pursuit of making an impact.

We thank everyone who submitted a nomination for this year’s program, as there were many more than forty brothers nominated who were deserving of this recognition. We would also like to thank Zeta Psi’s Awards Committee, who had the extremely difficult task of choosing which forty individuals were to be recognized.
