Gamma Chi chapter welcomed 14 outstanding new members into the ZTA sisterhood on Sunday.  A week of hard work and dedication to all ZTA can be culminated in a quota-filling new member class.  Excitement was the dominant theme of the day as new members ran to the chapter, chapter unafilliates returned home, and each Indiana State Zeta took a step toward a bright future..

Alpha Xi chapter at Indiana University is seeking $25,000 through Pepsi's Refresh Project.  The grand would offset the costs involved in the chapter's annual BMOC male beauty pageant, allowing an increased philanthropic donation.  Alpha Xi was the world leader in collegiate chapter donations to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation in the last biennium, and their goal is to break the $200,000 mark in this coming year.

Zeta Alpha chapter was honored at the Silver Masquerade Banquet of the 2010 Zeta Tau Alpha Convention on July 10, 2010.  The University of Evansville chapter was presented by National Vice President Kelley Snow Harmon with a National Council Special Recognition Award in honor of years of dedicated work that has brought honor to the Fraternity.

Through conscientious focus on all areas of chapter programming, the chapter raised the bar for itself by consistently achieving in academics, campus involvement, philanthropy, and all other operations.  They have been racking up accolades, winning for Outstanding Service, Outstanding Philanthropy, and Best New Member at this spring's Evansville Greek Awards Banquet.

Indiana is proud of you, Zeta Alpha, and we strive to join you in Louisville as you repeat on this great accomplishment!

Zeta Alpha's Silver win was the culmination of a week of wins for our Indiana chapters.  The state boasts 3 Crown Chapters, 1 financial improvement award, 3 Founders Circle members, 3 Highly Commendable Academic Awards, 3 Quota/Total Awards, 1 Helping Hands winner, 2 Foundation scholarship recipients, and the top two ZTA Foundation donors in the world.

In addition to these accolades, chapter officers took part in programming to prepare them for the next phase of My Sister, My Responsibility and strengthen their chapter's risk management.  They met with National Officers to discuss the current status of their chapters and game plan for the future.  They networked with ZTAs from across the country and across the years to form connections that will support those goals.

It was a jam-packed week in New Orleans, and your officers are returning to your chapters with a lot of ideas and goals they can't wait to share with you!
