ZTA & Co.
Zetas from around the state gathered in Fort Wayne on April 2 to celebrate their sisterhood at Indiana Zeta Day. The day started with a breakfast with some chit chat and singing. The main program of the day featured several educational sessions on topics ranging from the jewelry of Zeta Tau Alpha (facilitated by Indiana's own Archives Committee Co-Chair Patti Levitte) to women's health (in a twist that reunited the speaker with her big sister, Past President Sherry Tilley). Many pitched in to provide pajamas to the Pajama Program, and one session allowed sisters to deliver some of those items to local children in need. Vice President Alumnae Diane Keegan offered well-wishes on behalf of National Council. A great number of women were awarded their White Violet pins and the state was able to honor their first 75-year attendee in recent history. The chapter seniors were transitioned officially into the alumnae world in a beautiful ceremony. The day closed with an address on fashion and philanthropy by two Vice Presidents of Vera Bradley...and the claiming of silent auction items. It was a well-attended and eventful day.
