Zetas in Wonderland

Picture
ZTAs from all over the state - and a few from outside - joined together at IUPUI to celebrate sisterhood and share accomplishments at Zeta Day 2012.  This year's theme was Zetas in Wonderland, complete with afternoon tea and flower-filled hats as centerpieces.

The state was pleased to welcome Kate Harmon to her very first Zeta Day...and she brought her mom along, as well!  Kelley Snow Harmon is the national Vice President Collegiate for our area.  Mrs. Harmon offered warm greetings on behalf of National Council and took the stage after lunch for a keynote to Indiana's collegiate members.  In honor of her years of service to the Fraternity and in light of her upcoming retirement from Council, Mrs. Harmon was presented with a bracelet featuring mascot charms and the colors of each Indiana chapter.

Awards are always a highlight of Zeta Day, and this year was no exception.  All 6 Indiana chapters walked away with Quota/Total Awards, an accomplishment of which to be proud.  Alpha Xi earned the highest average chapter GPA while Courtney Williams (AT), Vasundhara Bhargava (AX), Allison Steele (BT), Briana Zmikly (GC), Brett Enneking (ZA), and Brianna Hunter (LE) took home honors for the highest senior averaged.

The Anne Winnes Redmond Service Award went to Alpha Theta and Purdue member Taryn Gerson accepted the Helen Winton Jenkins Collegiate Service Award for her work in founding Breaststroke 4 Hope.  Beta Theta earned the Outstanding New Member Programming Award and Gamma Chi was honored with the Outstanding Chapter Programming Award.  Karil Sommers, the General Advisor of Alpha Theta, was named Outstanding Collegiate Advisor and Susannah Hallgarth accepted the Sherry Server Tilley Zeta is Forever Award from the Past National President, herself.  The final collegiate award was a state-level silver award:  The Spirit of Indiana.  Zeta Alpha chapter earned the award for making great strides in all areas.

It is a great time to be an Indiana Zeta, and Zeta Day 2012 was a fitting celebration of our sisterhood!
