Being in Zeta Tau Alpha there are just some things you know to be true, from eating strawberries to knowing what FREDA HAMM is. ZTA changes your life, and you know these things to be true if you're a Zeta Tau Alpha.
1. You look forward to the month of October
October is breast cancer education and awareness month, which is our philanthropy! During this month we go to football games and pass out ribbons, (we're affiliated with every team in the NFL!) hold seminars about the importance of early detection and invite surivors to tell their stories, and raise money for the cause!
And, of course, on Wednesdays we wear pink.
2. Being obsessed with crowns
Five pointed crowns to be exact! And you know the emoji on your phone is ALWAYS in your recent emoji list.
3. Strawberries are your favorite fruit
Strawberries are always a staple at events, and no one quite understands why we're so obsessed.
4. FREDA HAMM was your best friend as a new member
The fab nine. Without them, we wouldn't be Zeta, and we certainly wouldn't have FREDA HAMM.
5. The little mermaid is one of your favorite Disney movies
No explanation needed!
6. The Creed has made you cry at least once
the Creed means a lot to us, and many of us think about it daily. The impact it has on our lives will be with us forever.
"Remembering always that the foundation precept of Zeta Tau Alpha was love, the greatest of all things."
7. You think having a patron goddess is better than having a jewel
Let's face it, Themis is way more important that having some kind of jewel. She's literally the lady we hope to be one day. Shout out to our #wcw.
8. Turquoise blue and steel gray are two of your favorite colors
Turquoise blue, lots of gray, zeta zeta all the way!
9. The weird looks you get when you call ZTA a fraternity
Fun fact: We're actually a women's fraternity, not a sorority! So when we say we're a frat, it's the truth (but don't worry, we don't call each other bros, bro).
10. Zeta isn't four years; it's for life
Yes, everyone always says this, but it's for a good reason! Zeta Tau Alpha isn't just something you're a part of for four years, it will always be with you, the friendships you made and the sisters you'll always have. These are the girls that you will continue to know and love and will be with you for every milestone, no matter how far apart you may be. These are the people you know you can call or text at any time and they will be there for you. They're our sisters for a reason, and we will be there for each other always.
Zeta Tau Alpha has changed my life in such a short amount of time, and I can truly thank this organization for having such a positive impact on my life.
ZLAM!
