First organized in 1925
at Cornell University, Phi Zeta is the honor society of veterinary
medicine that recognizes and promotes scholarship and research in
matters pertaining to the welfare and diseases of animals. Induction of
DVM candidates into Phi Zeta occurs annually: Those third-year students
who rank scholastically in the top 10% of their class and those
fourth-year students who rank scholastically in the top 25% of their
class are inducted.
From its beginning, the aim of Phi Zeta has been to stand for constant
advancement of the veterinary profession, for high educational
requirements, and for rigorous scholarship.
