From Where I Sit

Sisterhood shared at 24 Conventions By Carol A. Sagner, BC

As told to Janet Vigen Levy, M, and Kristine M. Fleming, HQ

Helen Margaret Harrison was National President, and she was very dignified. Secretary-Treasurer “Jenks” (Helen Winton Jenkins) was unforgettable, a real character. I can still hear her rattling off the roll call of chapters. My Province’s delegates served as the Convention choir. We sang during the Memorial Service in the hotel’s garden. Convention “Fun Night” was at a local country club, where we sang Zeta songs and parodies. We also had a beach party.

Carol Sagner, surrounded by her St. Louis Alumnae Chapter sisters, in New Orleans this past July—her 24th ZTA Convention.

Carol Anita Sagner was initiated at Beta Chi Chapter at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., in 1946. She attended her first ZTA Convention in 1948. In July 2010, at age 81, she attended her 24th ZTA Convention and was honored with the Repeater Award. Carol has never served as a National Officer for the Fraternity. Instead, she chooses to attend Convention to reconnect with friends and experience the enduring sisterhood of Zeta Tau Alpha. She recalled some of her favorite Convention memories with two of her St. Louis alumnae sisters while enjoying dinner and sharing a dessert of ice cream topped with strawberry sauce.

I

attended my first ZTA Convention as a college junior. It was 1948—ZTA’s Golden Anniversary, commemorating 50 years of sisterhood. Nobody flew in those days, so we took the train. We left St. Louis at midnight. When we arrived the next morning at the railroad station, we were treated to breakfast hosted by the Cincinnati Zetas. Then we traveled in “ZTA Pullman cars” to Norfolk, Va., where buses delivered us to the beautiful Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach. It was terribly hot! And back then, we were not in tank tops and shorts; we dressed up. There was no air conditioning in the hotel guest rooms, so we left the windows open. I distinctly remember the mockingbirds singing at night and the aroma of gardenias wafting through the room. It was quite an experience. Seven of our Founders attended this Convention. (Maud Jones Horner had passed away in 1920, and Alice Grey Welsh lived in Hawaii.) I was in awe of our Founders. As a 19-yearold, I thought they seemed so old; now, they would look young to me.

Experiencing the inspirational sisterhood at that first Convention made me want to keep going back for more. Two years later, I attended the 1950 Convention as the official delegate of the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter. We stayed at the Grand Hotel, a historic place with a huge front porch, on Mackinac Island in Michigan. The Zetas swam in the hotel pool that was built for the filming of a movie starring Esther Williams. Because I have always loved to travel, I often planned trips in conjunction with ZTA Conventions. After the 1960 Convention, at the renowned Chateau Frontenac in Québec, Canada, I had arranged for a post-Convention cruise. When I got to the dock, I found out the ship had run aground, so I had to come up with another way to get home. Before the 1964 Convention in Miami Beach, Fla., I took a 10-day cruise to South America that left from New York, where I also attended the World’s Fair. When I filled out my Convention registration forms and responded to the question, “How are you getting to Convention?,” I answered: “by ship!” I had to miss a few Conventions, including 1962 when I was traveling in Europe with my parents and in 1990 when my mother was ill. But I couldn’t miss ZTA’s Centennial Celebration in 1998, which gave me the chance to tour the college where we were founded and to see Frances Yancey Smith’s gravesite. I live by myself, so I appreciate the opportunity to spend time with my sisters at alumnae chapter events and every two years at Convention. For me, Convention is “old home week.” As a young woman, I needed Zeta because I was very shy. Joining ZTA gave me instant friendships, and experiencing the sisterhood of our Fraternity has kept me going ever since. We all know that Zeta is Forever — and with me, it certainly is. Carol is beginning her 60th year as a member of the St. Louis ZTA Alumnae Chapter and hopes to attend the 2012 Convention in Louisville, Ky.

» Dear Editor, One of my visiting nurses posted a note on the Samford University bulletin board, looking for a sitter/physical therapist to assist me in my recovery from some ministrokes. Maggie Worthington, a Samford student, replied that she wanted to donate her time for community service. When she came to my home to meet me, her ZTA keychain caught my eye. I told her that I became a Zeta in 1945 at Birmingham Southern. Needless to say, Zeta memories crowded my mind. As Province President,

I had helped to install the chapter at Delta Psi Chapter at Samford. Maggie wanted to hear all about it. Within the next few days, in true Zeta style, Maggie had a delicious meal cooked and delivered for me, my daughter and my granddaughter. All the Zeta sisters gathered around my feet waiting to hear more about my Zeta college days, the Installation, my Honor Ring (which I was wearing) and other stories. I gave them a hand-tinted Zeta crest plaque that I have displayed in my home for years. They gave me with a Zeta T-shirt.

­­­» Hello fellow Zeta ladies, In 1976, I attended my first ZTA Convention in New Orleans, only a week before my wedding. I happily juggled nine Zetas at my house and pre-wedding commitments. Now, 34 years later, I have shared another NOLA convention with my daughter, Lizzy. It was her first Convention and we again juggled wedding prep for my niece. My daughter beamed over the fun Friday night dessert party activities. I hope Lizzy and I can attend many more Conventions together. Thank you New Orleans Alumnae and National Council for throwing a great party. — Lynn Franklin, ZK Louisiana Tech University Savannah, GA Alumnae Chapter ­­­» Dear Ms. Ensor, I attended Convention as the official delegate for my alumnae chapter. I am also I am the General Advisor for

Theta Sigma (Winthrop). I was very moved by the Sam Spady story (see pages 16-17) and learned a lot from Dr. (Lori) Ebert on how to have conversations about risk assessment with collegians. I have my own 18-year-old daughter who informed me that she wanted to drive to Nashville with her friends to audition for “American Idol.” I didn’t say “yes” or “no,” but that I needed to see her plan addressing all the risks, how she was to reduce them and a budget. The rules were that no one could ever be alone and that sleeping at the stadium was not an option. After two hours of work, she concluded that it would be too expensive and she could not eliminate the risks. She decided not to go—and then she thanked me for letting her figure it out for herself and allowing her to make the decision. — Darlene Oswalt, BZ Iowa State University Charlotte, NC Alumnae Chapter ­­

ew Orleans, steeped in history, tradition, music, food and entertainment, was a one-of-a-kind city before it drew international attention from the devastation brought by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In the past five years, New Orleans has added resiliency, determination and partnerships to its list of attributes as it rebounded from the storm. History, tradition, music, food and entertainment are all features of a memorable ZTA Convention. Resiliency, determination and partnerships are characteristics of successful ZTA chapters. So perhaps no other city could have been as perfect for a ZTA Convention as 900 collegians and alumnae gathered July 7-11 in New Orleans to Experience the Sisterhood. “We chose New Orleans as the site of our Convention in the midst of its rebuilding after Katrina,” said former National President Laura Ladewig Mauro. “We had held Convention in New Orleans twice before and we wanted to be a part of its regrowth. As it turned out, it was the perfect place for our educational programming and our focus on experiencing sisterhood as both a gift and as a responsibility.” Convention is a five-day sisterhood extravaganza where Zetas can sing, laugh, cry, eat and celebrate together. It is also a time of

securing that sisterhood for the future through business meetings and educational programming. The focus of Convention programming in 2010 was the debut of Part II of our award-winning risk prevention program, My Sister, My Responsibility. This phase of the program focuses on social responsibility, taking care of ourselves and our sisters in social settings where alcohol is present. “I suppose there is some irony that we were gathered in a ‘party’ city like New Orleans to talk about social responsibility,” Mrs. Mauro said. “But the party aspect of New Orleans gave us the perfect opportunity to teach our members how to plan a safe social activity, prepare for any potential risk, and then go out and put what they had learned into practice.” Following two days of sessions on social responsibility, collegiate delegates had a free afternoon on Saturday, July 10, to step outside the hotel and explore the French Quarter, just a few blocks away. They shopped for Mardi Gras beads in their school colors and elegant masks to wear to that evening’s Recognition Banquet. They sampled beignets and chicory coffee at the famous Café Du Monde. They posed for pictures in Jackson Square and filled the Quarter with ZTA T-shirts and enthusiasm. Alumnae members had two afternoons free to Fall 2010

explore the Garden District by trolley, tour the French Quarter or the historic and unique cemeteries of New Orleans with a professional guide, or visit Mardi Gras World to see how those amazing parade floats are made. “Our members have asked for several years to have more time to socialize with their new and old friends,” Mrs. Mauro said. “National Council took that to heart as we planned for this Convention. We believed we showed that Zetas can successfully mix business and fun. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and celebrated safely.” Convention planners also incorporated aspects of New Orleans culture into the schedule. National Council and the boards of the ZTA Foundation and ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation entered the opening session on “floats” constructed on luggage carts and threw beads. At the opening dinner, the Krewe of Caesar dazzled the crowd with amazing costumes and each table enjoyed a King Cake from the famous Gambino’s bakery.

mid the beads, masks and music, ZTA delegates met for business meetings to review National Policies, receive reports from committees and elect a new National Council. In the State of the Fraternity address, given at Thursday’s luncheon, Mrs. Mauro recalled the determination of Grace Elcan, one of ZTA’s first three new members, to gain a charter from the Virginia Legislature in 1902. The words of that 108-year-old charter became our purpose statement that remains relevant today. “In 2010, we know that ZTA must have a purpose that college and university administrators consider relevant—one that furthers the missions of their schools,” Mrs. Mauro said. Along with Foundation President Becky Hainsworth Kirwan and Fraternity Housing Corporation President Julia Marthaler Hill, she highlighted the ways that ZTA remains relevant through

The crowd was already in a turquoise-and-gray frenzy when it realized that the Step Team from Epsilon Chapter at the University of Arkansas was “in the house.” The winners of the national Sprite Step Off (see Themis spring 2010) had never performed in front of an all-ZTA audience. As their 900 sisters cheered every stomp, clap, snap and step, their normally stoic performance faces turned into huge smiles. (See pages 32-33.)

At the closing business meeting on Saturday, ZTA thanked retiring National Council members Malaea Nelms Seleski and Karen Farmer Mills for their service and elected the National Council for 2010-2012: National President Keeley McDonald Riddle, Vice President Collegiate I Natalie M. Yingling, Vice President Collegiate II Stacey Verkest Voigt, Vice President Collegiate III Kelley Snow Harmon, Vice President Alumnae I Lori A. Peters, Vice President Alumnae II Diane Hanson Keegan, Secretary-Treasurer Dinah Jackson Laughery, National Panhellenic Conference Delegate Laura Ladewig Mauro, and Extension Director Marlene Dunbar Conrad.

onvention 2010 was also a time of great celebration. On Thursday evening, Tanya Snyder, wife of Washington Redskins’ owner Dan Snyder, and a founding partner of our Think Pink!® campaign, was initiated. (See page 9.)

At Saturday’s luncheon, CBS News Correspondent Betty Nguyen, an alumna of Kappa Chapter at The University of Texas at Austin, received the ZTA Outstanding Alumna Award. (See page 8.)

“We all came off the stage after the performance, looked at each other and said ‘that the most exciting performance we have ever done’ and we’ve done this about 15 times in front of a crowd and countless times in practice,” said co-captain M. K. Bentley. “It was by far the best performance yet, the perfect way to go out after graduation.”

Journalist Betty Nguyen receives ZTA honor News,” reports for “The Early Show” and contributes to other CBS programs. As her daughter’s career advanced, Betty’s mother admonished her to remember their roots. In 1998, Betty made her first trip back to Vietnam. “I often wonder what my life would have been like had we stayed in communist Vietnam,” she said. “Would I have lived in a thatched hut? Would I have received an education? Then I thought, why wonder when we can act?”

he and her parents left Vietnam on one of the last cargo planes as Saigon fell to communism. They lived in three different refugee camps before settling in Texas. They dared to dream that American freedom meant a better life, but perhaps never fathomed that life would include a college education, sorority membership and a career in broadcast journalism. Yet, on July 10, 2010, CBS News Correspondent Betty Nguyen stood before her Zeta Tau Alpha sisters to receive the Outstanding Alumna Award from ZTA Foundation President Becky Hainsworth Kirwan. An alumna of Kappa Chapter at The University of Texas at Austin, Betty received the honor for her award-winning reporting with CNN and CBS and her philanthropic efforts to combat hunger in her native Vietnam. “When I moved into Jester Hall (as a freshman at UT), for the first time in my life, I felt all alone,” Betty recalled. “The Zetas were so full of life and so fun. They showed me this home away from home. Zeta was an instant family.”

Upon her return to the United States, Betty and her family began the process of starting Help the Hungry, a non-profit organization to aid those living in Vietnam. “I had no idea how to begin; I had never even filled out my own tax form let alone the mounds of paperwork that it takes to get (federally) approved as a non-profit,” she recalled. “But with a lot of prayer and determination, we were able to establish Help the Hungry in 2000.” During its first 10 years, it has assisted over 100,000 Vietnamese citizens. “Regardless of where life takes you, you have the ability to bring about positive change,” Betty said. “If you set something positive in motion, remarkable things can occur. That dedication to helping others is a big part of what it means to be a Zeta.” Much to Betty’s surprise, Mrs. Kirwan announced that the ZTA Foundation would make a $10,000 donation to Help the Hungry. The gesture reinforced Betty’s love for the Fraternity that is proud to call her a sister. “Our motto is seek the noblest,” Betty said. “I’ll admit it’s not always easy; we’re all human. But you can never go wrong doing what’s right. And for me that included becoming a Zeta.”

Betty told the audience that her ZTA collegiate days helped to shape her future. “One of the things I found so special about Zeta is its emphasis on helping us succeed, not just in school but in life,” she said. “While the goal is to get a good education, how you use that knowledge is what will shape you.” After graduating from Texas, Betty worked for local CBS affiliates in Texas before joining CNN. She served as the anchor of the weekend morning edition of “CNN Newsroom” for six years. During that time, she anchored the network’s coverage of major news events, including recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti, the Virginia Tech shootings, the death of Pope John Paul II, Hurricane Katrina, and the London bombing attacks. She joined CBS in March of 2010, and now anchors the “CBS Morning

Think Pink!® founder Tanya Snyder initiated because I grew up in a home with my mother and three sisters. But I knew I wanted to do this work.” ZTA alumna Vicki Decker Griffith first approached Mrs. Snyder about helping to establish the program, and she had the honor of escorting her during her Initiation service. Mrs. Snyder fondly recalls the first Think Pink! game and pledged to continue to move the effort forward. “I remember hearing about the Zetas making the pink ribbons, thousands of them by hand,” she said. “Now every October, you see a large pink presence at NFL games. Just thinking about and visualizing it makes me smile. That initial effort has grown now to 28 NFL teams taking part in the program, and we hope to make it 32 very soon.” Tanya Snyder, center, meets with ZTA Think Pink!/NFL coordinators Lisa Cramer Dierbeck, left, and Vicki Decker Griffith, right.

t was a simple, three-word phrase, but it brought a smile to the face of every National Officer at the head table.

“…we at Zeta…” Standing at the podium, wearing the carpenter’s square pledge pin, Tanya Snyder, wife of Washington Redskins’ owner Daniel Snyder, developer of the Think Pink!® program with the National Football League and the league’s spokesperson for its Crucial Catch breast cancer education campaign, spoke of herself and Zeta Tau Alpha in the first person plural. Just a few hours later, that partnership was sealed as Mrs. Snyder become a member of the Fraternity as the Convention initiate on Thursday, July 8.

Just over two years ago, the fight against breast cancer became very personal to Mrs. Snyder. “Early one morning, I felt a lump in one of my breasts,” she said to a hushed audience. “My husband concurred; something was there. I was frightened. It was unbelievable to both of us when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After two successful surgeries, I am grateful that I can report to you today that I am cancer free,” she said. The Convention initiate thanked her family and ZTA for sharing her vision. “I thank Dan and our three children. The Redskins’ involvement would not have happened without Dan’s commitment. My daughters have been right out there in front of the stadium, passing out ribbons, and we will all be there again this year,” she said. “It means so much to me to be involved with Zeta. Thank you so much for this honor, and I promise, I will continue to think pink.”

“I am so proud that since 1999, tens of millions of people have been touched by the Think Pink! campaign and we at Zeta, along with the NFL, have made it happen,” Mrs. Snyder said. Former National President Laura Ladewig Mauro said Mrs. Snyder’s dedication to breast cancer education and awareness and her enthusiasm and diligence in helping to develop the Think Pink! program had already endeared her to the ZTA membership. Mrs. Mauro told the Convention, “Tanya’s initiation will allow those of us who admire her so much to have the honor of calling her our sister.” In 1999, Daniel Snyder bought the football team that he dearly loved. From the start, Mrs. Snyder felt a calling to use the prestige of NFL ownership for a greater good. “The same year that my husband bought the team, I began volunteer work in the fight against breast cancer. In some strange way, I felt a calling to the cause,” she told the Convention. “Perhaps it was the awareness of the rising number of cases. Or maybe it’s

Meet your National Council for 2010-2012

These nine dedicated women will lead Zeta Tau Alpha in the 2010-2012 biennium. We asked them to share their favorite examples of how they have Experienced the Sisterhood. Keeley McDonald Riddle National President Landing, N.J. Old Dominion, IS Just the simple phrase “chapter retreat” brings a smile and a flood of memories. My chapter held an annual retreat at Virginia Beach to welcome new members. It was always a fun time of getting to know each other and staying up all night sharing stories.

Kelley Snow Harmon Vice President Collegiate III Fayetteville, Ark. Arkansas Tech, QQ Zeta sisterhood has been a collection of experiences over the last 25 years. I have wonderful memories of collegiate sisters, opportunities as an alumna, and ultimately, friends in all corners of the US. Every time I’m with a Zeta, I experience the sisterhood.

Dinah Jackson Laughery Secretary-Treasurer Austin, Texas Florida State, BG I really began to understand the ZTA sisterhood when I moved from Florida to Texas. Other than my husband, I didn’t know anyone. The first two people I met were ZTAs. Those two women became my very close friends and made Austin feel like home.

Natalie M. Yingling Vice President Collegiate I Cranberry Township, Pa. Westminster, DW Living on the ZTA suite was priceless. It’s the only time in your life when that many sisters get to live together. We can’t recreate the laughter, tears or late-night talks, but the memories are one-of-a-kind stories that we share when we get together.

Lori A. Peters Vice President Alumnae I Brunswick, Ohio Youngstown State, ZG While planning Zeta Day with a sister I have known for 25 years, I asked, “This is a lot of work, but why does it seem like so much fun?” She said, “Because it is fun.” You know your ZTA experience is at its best when you’re doing the work and loving it!

Laura Ladewig Mauro Ntl. Panhellenic Conf. Delegate Winnsboro, Texas Texas State-San Marcos, QY My mom, sister, aunt and cousin are Zetas and we can celebrate everyday! My husband celebrated Zeta Love with us when he was very ill and received cards, letters, e-mails and notes from Zetas all over the country. And I love to tell that story!

Stacey Verkest Voigt Vice President Collegiate II Colleyville, Texas Texas Tech, GT At Texas Tech, sororities and fraternities are paired together for “Sing Song,” a performance that incorporates singing and dancing. We never won during my three years in the chapter, but the time I spent with my sisters in rehearsals was priceless!

Diane Hanson Keegan Vice President Alumnae II Murrieta, Calif. Cal Poly Pomona, QW I could not attend the Convention when I was to receive my Honor Ring and instead received it by mail. But my ZTA sisters planned a surprise Honor Ring party to celebrate with me and share in such a wonderful and meaningful moment in my life.

Marlene Dunbar Conrad Extension Director Acworth, Ga. Valdosta State, HI My chapter's tradition is to sing "Today and Forever" to the ZTA bride at her wedding. I will always cherish standing in the middle of that circle of sisters on my day, looking at their faces and thinking about our wonderful, crazy experiences together.

Convention 2010

New program encourages social responsibility By Heather Matthews Kirk, DK Director of Education & Leadership Initiatives

E

ven before collegiate officers received materials for the new installment of the My Sister, My Responsibility program, they were enthusiastically teaching its lessons as they headed back to campus this fall. Chapter delegates at Convention were able to participate in each component of the program through a series of educational sessions as ZTA National Officers launched My Sister, My Responsibility: Teaching Social Responsibility.

The education began with a large general session dedicated to the cornerstone of the new program – the story of Samantha Spady, a student at Colorado State University who died in 2004 with a blood alcohol content of .436, five times the legal limit for driving. Sam’s mother, Patty Spady, shared the emotional story of her daughter’s life and the events on the evening of her death. “No one planned for Sam to die, but no one planned to prevent it,” she said. She described her daughter’s artistic talents and ambitions for the future, as well as a minute-by-minute account of parties she attended, people she encountered, and alcohol she consumed on the night she died. This personal and genuine storytelling allowed the women to comprehend the real danger of misuse of alcohol. “I cannot describe the emotion that overwhelmed me. I didn’t even know Sam Spady, but seeing her mother’s grief was all it took,” said Dakota Peterman, the judicial chairman of Epsilon Chapter at the University of Arkansas. “I sat there thinking that Mrs. Spady could have been the mother of one of my sisters. I decided in that moment, that when I got back home, I would do all that I could to make sure that my sisters stayed safe.”

Patty Spady shared the heart-wrenching story of her daughter, Samantha, a budding artist who died of alcohol poisoning.

During a recent chapter discussion, Peterman rose and gently but passionately described what Patty Spady had shared at Convention. With conviction, she told her sisters how each person was responsible for the others, and how she never wants to have to look at a mom and tell her something happened to her daughter. “The story of Sam Spady is a tragedy, it makes me think of the scary reality that is sugar-coated by the bullet-proof reputation college seems to have today,” Peterman said in reflection. “The actions and decisions that we make at 18, 19 and 20 will affect the rest of our lives.” Peterman felt the message that the creators of the new programming wanted to convey. “We were not out to force-feed facts and figures about alcohol; we wanted to open minds and hearts to the devastation that can be caused by the irresponsible use of alcohol,” said ZTA Executive Director Deb Ensor. “There isn’t a college campus or Greek system that is not struggling with the issues of social responsibility.” The program engages “college women to be more aware of how alcohol is affecting their behavior, their bodies and their futures,” Ensor said. “They need to recognize how to be responsible for themselves and their sisters, and how to confront those who have alcohol problems, including the use of the ZTA judicial procedure.” ZTA has designed this phase of the My Sister, My Responsibility program to educate members about their duty to care for themselves and others, especially in social situations. The centerpiece of this program, the workshop “Who is Watching Out for You?: The Sam Spady Story,” helps chapters

16 • Themis of Zeta Tau Alpha


Convention 2010 prevent tragedy by learning from the mistakes made on the night of Samantha’s death. An engaging documentary movie shows how one college student’s use of alcohol contributed to an unintended tragedy inside a fraternity house. At the conclusion of this workshop, each chapter member will receive a wallet card with the symptoms of alcohol poisoning and how to call for help. Using this piece and others, My Sister, My Responsibility teaches about the opportunity members have as Zetas to keep their sisters, themselves, their chapter and their Fraternity safe. It empowers chapter members to prevent and confront problematic drinking, hold themselves and others accountable for their actions, while reinforcing friendship and sisterhood, and emphasizing the mission and values of Zeta Tau Alpha. “This program is special because before even learning the details—the facts and figures about using alcohol, we touch your heart with the story of Samantha Spady, so you understand that tragedy can happen to you or to a sister if you are irresponsible,” Ensor said. “The Sam Spady Story” is one of six unique workshops that focuses on a variety of topics associated with social responsibility. With a myriad of workshops, the program stays fresh year after year for chapter members. “The modules are interactive and create the opportunity for women to have a conversation about alcohol from a health and wellness perspective, legal perspective, and friendship perspective," said Dr. Lori Ebert, the ZTA’s new risk management consultant. Teaching Social Responsibility is a follow-up to the award-winning Hazing Prevention and Confrontation program launched in 2008. Giving both programs the My Sister, My Responsibility title makes it apparent that this approach to risk education is about friendship and accountability for self and others.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS IN MY SISTER, MY RESPONSIBILITY: TEACHING SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ­­­» Alcohol: Considering Different Impacts for Different People Developed by Jason Kilmer, Ph.D., University of Washington ­­­» The Blame Game: A Question of Accountability Developed by Jeremy W. Inabinet, Assistant Dean of Students, Loyola University of Chicago ­­­» Holding Our Sisters Accountable Developed by Heather Matthews Kirk, Director of Education & Leadership Initiatives, Zeta Tau Alpha ­­­» Identifying Problem Drinking Developed by T.J. Sullivan, Vice President and CEO, CAMPUSPEAK ­­­» Legal Aspects of Alcohol Developed by Terry McCarthy, Esq., Attorney ­­­» Who is Watching Out for You?: The Sam Spady Story Developed by the SAM Spady Foundation

The new program was sent to chapters, advisors, campus professionals, National Officers and alumnae groups. In its first year of implementation, each collegiate chapter will facilitate two of the workshops, including “The Sam Spady Story.” “My Sister, My Responsibility provides a resource for the women to create the hard conversations about alcohol and establish ways to reduce risks in their lives,” Ebert said. “We can elevate all chapters when they make good choices around alcohol and focus on the real mission of Zeta Tau Alpha.” Even as a sophomore, Peterman is already engaging in these difficult conversations with her sisters. “My Sister, My Responsibility goes hand in hand with our foundation precept, love,” she said. “Sisterhood is loving someone enough to tell her what is right. This year we will take My Sister, My Responsibility to heart, realizing that our love for each other is stronger and worth more than any night of partying ever could be.”

Dr. Lori Ebert, ZTA’s new risk management consultant, engaged collegians with serious discussion about social responsibility.

No one planed for Samantha Spady to die, but no one planned to prevent it either. ZTA hopes that My Sister, My Responsibility will encourage chapters to take the necessary steps to prevent risks, make positive decisions, and hold their sisters accountable. My Sister, My Responsibility is funded by a grant from the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation. Fall 2010

ZTA wins two NICF Awards of Distinction

T

he North American Interfraternity Conference Foundation awarded Zeta Tau Alpha and the ZTA Foundation two Foundation Awards of Distinction at its Foundations Seminar held in Indianapolis this August. ZTA won the award for Best Use of a Foundation Grant for its Advisor Academies. Held during the 2009-2010 school year, the three academies trained 131 alumnae who volunteer as collegiate chapter advisors in organizational and financial management, teamwork, communication, risk reduction and leadership development. A $24,000 grant from the ZTA Foundation paid for 50 percent of the academies’ costs. The academies were held at the ZTA chapter houses at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind.; Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich.; and Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. ZTA also received the award for Best Campaign or Program in Support of an Outside Philanthropy for the Zeta Tau Alpha Award for Innovation in Campus Hazing Prevention. ZTA has made a five-year commitment to this award, donating $10,000 each year to a school that conducts innovative, effective and comprehensive hazing prevention programming.

From The Archives

Historical Exhibit premieres at Convention

O

ver a year’s worth of work and over a century of history was unveiled as the new, museum-quality Zeta Tau Alpha Historical Exhibit opened at Convention in New Orleans. National Council members were the first to sign the exhibit guest book when Archives Committee members Susan Beard and Patricia Cords Levitte opened the doors for a preview on Tuesday evening, July 6. Our new member program includes a brief history of the Fraternity, but many younger Zetas may find it hard to think beyond their college years. History, to them, may be the old composite pictures that hang on the walls of their house or suite. Through this inspiring display, collegians attending Convention saw ZTA history far beyond those lessons and walls. Some exhibit items are so fragile they must not be handled at all, such as Founder Ruby Leigh Orgain’s personal college scrapbook that lies behind glass casing. Other items have been restored to such pristine condition that they also are kept behind glass, including the sterling silver purse owned by Ethel Coleman VanName. (See related stories in the winter and spring 2010 issues of Themis.) Other things, however, are out in the open. You can touch and browse through an etiquette book from the 1930s. You can find your link in the Chain of Chapters and have your picture taken in front of a new backdrop. Many things in the exhibit once belonged to our Founders or to honored Zetas like Historian Emerita Shirley Kreasan Strout. But the new exhibit continues through our history and includes items from every decade and generation, like the record album of ZTA songs from 1963 or newspaper clippings from the 1970s.

Archives Committee members Patti Levitte and Susan Beard worked for a year on the new museum-quality exhibit.

In 2009, National Council asked Sue B and Patti to give the Convention Historical Exhibit a modern 21st century style and look. They spent days in the attic at International Office, searching through boxes, diving into the very personal lives of some of ZTA’s oldest alumnae. The team worked with a professional museum display company to create the exhibit that includes five backdrops to form a historical timeline and five tables of archival items, all labeled with explanations of their place in our history. In New Orleans, Zetas perused old programs, photographs and pins in the Convention section of the exhibit. Photographs show the change through the decades from hairstyles to fashion. But one thing shines through loud, clear and unchanged, and that’s sisterhood. Some of Sue B’s favorite findings are the Convention photos, particularly one from 1908. “The women are all in a line forming a friendship circle just like the one we make at the end of every Convention,” Sue B said. It seems the things that stick out in most exhibit goers’ minds are not the “shiny things,” as she puts it, “but our long history of sisterhood.” And Patti’s favorite finds? “Hand-written notes of the most important people in ZTA history,” she said. “They had the ideas and drove the actions that helped lead us to where ZTA is today.”

Precious mementos from our nine Founders have been archived and restored and are now displayed under glass.

34 • Themis of Zeta Tau Alpha

Letters, personal notes, and chapter minutes dating back to ZTA’s founding show the true meaning behind the creation of the Fraternity. The sisterhood that our Founders envisioned is alive and well today, and now preserved in a exhibit worthy of their dreams.

Founders’ Day Proclamation 2010

A

s I stood in front of the glass case that held black satin dancing slippers, white kid leather gloves and a sterling silver purse, I had to catch my breath. There in the newly redesigned Historical Exhibit of Zeta Tau Alpha were 19th century possessions of our Founders, now preserved and displayed in a 21st century presentation. It was one day before Convention 2010 officially opened, but already I was filled with a sense of pride and humility. The first ZTA Convention to feature a Historical Exhibit was the fifteenth National and fourth International Convention, held in 1937 in Swampscott, Mass., one year before Zeta Tau Alpha celebrated our 40th anniversary. In a review of that exhibit in Themis, Editor Emerita Betty Hillix Foellinger wrote: “The tapestry of the past is always fascinating, but a cloth woven of memories and events of the past, concerning something which is as dear to our hearts as Zeta Tau Alpha, is especially interesting.” Our new Historical Exhibit contains many of the same items displayed in 1937. These treasures from our past are indeed fascinating and dear to our hearts and we are so grateful to those who have volunteered over the years to preserve them.

What is woven into the tapestry of your personal Zeta Tau Alpha history? If you are a new member, it may be a Bid Day T-shirt or a special gift from your Big Sister. If you’ve recently graduated, it may be the turquoise sash you wore over your gown or your mortar board decorated with ZTA symbols. If you’re a more experienced ZTA, it may be a picture taken with your sisters gathered around you at a wedding or baby shower. Or perhaps a pink survivor hat you wore proudly at a Race for the Cure®. Preserving our history is so important. It is a lasting reminder of our Founders’ dedication and our tie to their dream of a sisterhood that would last forever. As we move forward, may we always remember to look back and stay true to the founding precept of Zeta Tau Alpha—Love, the greatest of all things. Given under my hand and seal, I proclaim the fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord, two thousand and ten, as our 112th Founders’ Day.
