When the pledge period begins, a Greek organization gives a piece of paper, called a bid, to those individuals which it wants as members. This paper is an invitation to attend bid night, the official start of pledging. "John got a bid from TKE and Rusty got a bid from Zeta Nu."
Every pledge of a fraternity is assigned a big brother, who functions as the pledge's guide and mentor. The big brother/little brother relationship winds up being a close one as bonds are formed as the big brother helps the pledge through the pledge program.

In addition to letters, Greek organizations are also identified by their colors. Zeta Nu's colors are navy blue and pure white. The colors of a Greek organization become themselves as readily identifiable with the organization as the letters themselves.
Every Greek organization has a unique crest, a symbol of their organization. Each crest has hidden, secret meanings behind it. ZN's crest looks like this:
Multiple generations of big brothers (see BIG BROTHER) and little brothers can be brought together to form a family line. When one member's little brother himself takes a little brother, the pledge becomes the original member's little little (x2) brother. As individual members take subsequent and multiple little brothers, the trees branch out and expand. Members of one family often share a special bond within the fraternity at large. "I can trace back my family line to a 1981 graduate!" "Hey,is he in your family tree, too?" "My big big big big brother came up for alumni weekend!"
A "function" refers to a closed party between two or more Greek organizations, almost always one being a fraternity and one being a sorority. A "four-way" function is with two fraternities and two sororities; "six-ways," "eight-ways," and "ten-ways" are also possible. Functions mean a lot for Greek life and they are a chance to meet new people.
