10 Signs You're A Zeta Tau Alpha
Sammy Deems

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
