| The Introduction Dance for Big Man On Campus 2012 |
October is always a very special month for ZTA’s as it is
Breast Cancer Awareness month. This
October the ZTA chapter at UE kicked off October by participating in Box City a
project to raise awareness for the homeless.
The chapter also held a fundraiser at Orange Leaf to raise money for our
philanthropy of Breast Cancer Education and Awareness. We also hosted our 30th annual Big
Man On Campus philanthropy event. We had
a great turn-out and a lot of fun as we "Demolished Breast Cancer" at this male beauty pageant! We were so honored to have former National President, Sherry Tilley, in attendance as well as ZTAs from the University of Louisville! Brock Reneer, representing Chi Omega was
named this year’s Big Man On Campus. We
invited our parents to come support our BMOC and had a special parents brunch where
we were able to give our parents gifts such as the Mother’s Pin and polo shirts
for Dads. We also kicked off our Save
Lids to Save Lives and Think Pink campaigns on campus as well as throughout the
Evansville community. Several sisters
helped out at Think Pink games such as the Evansville Icemen game, the Colts
game, and UE’s Think Pink swim meet. Other
service projects included chapter-wide participation with National Make a
Difference Day! Some of us spent the
morning volunteering at Mesker Park Zoo while others helped at Garvin
Park. It was a great way to give back to
the community. We supported our fellow
Greeks with their philanthropy events which included Phi Kappa Tau’s Leggs, Phi
Mu’s Rock for Riley, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s Kickball Tournament. Several sisters also supported UE’s Women’s
Soccer Team at their Greeks at the Game event.

| Barn Bash! |
The UE ZTA chapter also made some time for themselves this
month midst all of the service projects.
We celebrated Halloween with our annual Barn Bash. This year the dance was held in an actual
barn and we were able to have a bonfire.
Everyone looked fabulous in their costumes! We also had a “fired up” pottery sisterhood
as well as a Halloween evening sisterhood event. Our chapter paired up with the Evansville
Alumnae for a sisterhood mixer at Mayse Farm where we had so much fun going
through the corn maze and on wagon rides to the pumpkin patch! Many sisters have also participated in several
intramural sports this month. So much
sisterly support was shown this month as well, with many music and theater
performances as well as athletics. We
are very proud of Josie Brown who represented ZTA in UE Idol and won second
place!
Big and Little week also took place during October. Our 20 new members and our 20 new Big Sisters
are so excited!

| Zetas Supporting the Basketball Team, Cheerleaders, and Dance Team |
We wrapped up October with the start of Homecoming. We made our presence known at all the
homecoming events which included a game show, a comedian, canned food
trick-or-treating, and a dance competition.
We supported our own sister, Brooke Routh, in the Homecoming Queen
competition.
Now that October has passed, we will take time to re-energize and remember all that we have to be thankful for as Zeta Tau Alpha's as November comes.
