February Recap

Sig Ep A Go-Go Teams!

February was a busy and wonderful month for Zeta! Our chapter participated in many Greek Philanthropy events including Phi Kappa Tau's "LEGGS" in which we took first place. We were represented by Veronica Asher. Other philanthropies included Alpha Omicron Pi's "Survival of the Fittest" benefiting Arthritis Research and Sigma Phi Epsilon's "Sig Ep A Go-Go" benefitting Youth AIDS. One of our two Sig Ep A Go-Go teams won first place with their dance moves! Other service projects included Susan G. Komen's Hoops for the Cure at the Lady Aces Basketball game on February 12th and participating in a campus-wide potluck dinner fundraiser for Relay for Life! 
This month's chapter sisterhood events included a Super Bowl Party with lots of food, a Valentine's Day Party where we made each other valentine's and won prizes, a trip to see the movie "The Vow", a comedian hosted by the Student Activities Board, several basketball games, and music performances. Big/Little Reveal was also held during February for our three newest members!
We held a mixer with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha during which we ate pizza before heading to the last men's home basketball game. We reserved the student section together and cheered on our Aces to victory! We also made signs and gift baskets for the players, cheerleaders, and dancers as it was senior night. Zeta Alpha's own, Shelby George, was recognized for being a senior on the dance team. 

Zetas at the Game!

Another mixer was held at the end of the month with the men of Sigma Phi Epsilon. We had a game night including cards, board games, and Twister!
For intramurals, our basketball team won second place in the tournament! Floor hockey has just begun with a record of 1-1. 

As March is beginning, we are looking forward to Spring Break and another great month for Zeta!

Helium Needed!!

The ZA chapter at UE is looking for helium to put in balloons (possibly in April)!  If any alumnae sisters have a helium connection or know where to find helium at a discount please email ztawesome1898@gmail.com


Thank You! 

January Recap

To kick off the semester the Zeta Alpha chapter held a sisterhood retreat to catch up from winter break and to prepare for the coming year! We played games, ate food, had a sleepover, and talked about ways to better our chapter.
Midway through the month we hosted a CROWN event and gave bids to three lovely young women: Allison Weaver, Paige Anderson, and Paula Nowaczyk. The girls just signed their bids and were formally pledged a few weeks ago! The entire chapter is excited for our new additions.

cupcakes to the children at Ark Crisis Childcare

This month we also baked cupcakes that were donated to Ark Crisis Childcare Center in memory of the cousin of member Sara DeMaras. Sara's cousin, Olivia, recently passed away before she could fulfill her dream of owning a bakery.
The Zeta Alpha chapter also participated in UE's Musical Madness benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters. We paired up with Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity to perform the UE version of the 90's TV show "All That." We also showed overwhelming support on campus at the Men's Basketball games this month and at our own Intramural Basketball games!
