Why is delta S total equal to zero in reversible expansion?

Since in reversile equations we're taking the entropy from the surroundings ∆Ssys = ∆Ssurr and therefore ∆Stot = 0

Delta S total in reversible expansion is 0 because the reaction is at equilibrium and the delta S system equals delta S surroundings. The reaction starts and ends in the same place.
