April Recap

April has been a very busy month with the semester winding down. Be sure to check out our photos below. We held our spring formal at the zoo, had mixers with Alpha Omicron Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, participated in Greek Week and bike race, organized service projects and Think Pink events, held sisterhood activities, and said "goodbye" to our seniors at Senior Send-Off. We wish our seniors the very best and thank them for all of their time in Zeta Tau Alpha. Congratulations to them upon their graduation. We wish everyone a happy and safe summer vacation!

Favorite ZTA Memory: Big Appreciation day this year was amazing! It was the first year it has been done and I loved it! I came home to find streamers leading all the way up my apartment complex into my bedroom. My bed and desk were mummified in streamers and I had to unwrap it all. Once I unwrapped it there was a de-stressing present from littles full of chocolate, face masks, and nail polish as well as a note. The note said that they hid 26 pictures around my apartment. I stayed up  until early in the morning to find all the photos. They had hid them in my freezer, in my laundry and in every text book I owned. One the back of each of the photos was a reason or a story about why they appreciated me. I was so touched, even though I don't like surprises, this was a good one. Oh, and the TLC who was staying in my apartment, was in on the whole thing!

Favorite Part of ZTA: I love being able to represent something that is bigger than myself. I love the foundation to which we base ourselves on. The genuine love for all and the strength of our sisterhood has made me grow as a person and become a stronger more considerate woman. My most fond memories are spending time with my sisters being able to grow and learn from them.

Favorite ZTA Memory: My favorite memory in Zeta is actually a tie between two memories: getting my littles, Kelsey and Chelsey, my sophomore year and adopting my third, Lindsey, my junior year. My Zeta family is one of the most important things to me, and I'm glad I've got to experience my college years with my triplets always on my side.
