Empowered. Inspired. Greatness. These are the words that come to mind as I reflect on my experience at National Leadership Conference 2015. As I boarded the plane to Indianapolis, I had no idea that my ZTA experience would be forever changed by this conference. The opportunity to listen to each speaker and take notes was not something I just endured, but something I enjoyed. I am proud to say that I am a Zeta Tau Alpha and WE are a great organization. ZTA instills confidence in every single member, and this organization has taught me that leadership is attainable with guidance. ZTA has not only inspired me to continuously strive for greatness and “Seek the Noblest” in everything I do, but also to become a stronger woman. Attending NLC allowed me to take success stories of other ZTA chapters back to my chapter, Theta Iota at University of North Florida, to help us achieve greatness. I also had the opportunity to learn from the heart of ZTA, our National Council; to meet with Zetas from all over the country; and to continuously brainstorm ideas to make our chapters better. In each General Session, the other NLC attendees and I learned the steps we had to go through to reach our end goals as chapters. One of my favorite memories of this trip was learning and growing as an individual in my small group. I am taking back the confidence and ideas that every single speaker shared in our sessions. Change isn’t easy, but it is attainable. As I look back on my time as a leader in ZTA, I have concluded that this organization has challenged me to better myself and the other strong women around me. I challenge each and every one of you to strive for greatness within yourself and to become the leader you are destined to be. If you find something you are passionate about, go out and achieve the greatness and confidence instilled in you as a ZTA and pass it on to the next leader. Leadership starts from within, but having the ability to share it with the ones you love is an even greater feeling.

Sisterhood, Safety and Support By Kyle Pendleton, Director of Harm Reduction & Education and Alison Templeman, Beta Delta, Coordinator of Harm Reduction Services A recent survey of college and university presidents by Inside Higher Ed reported 7 in 10 advocated that institutions of higher education needed to improve their response to allegations of campus sexual assault. In other words, almost three quarters of college campuses shared a need for improvement. Zeta Tau Alpha heard this call alongside our campus partners and became a part of the conversation, education and prevention related to sexual assault and relational violence. In the spring of 2014, ZTA collaborated with Alpha Chi Omega and Pi Kappa Phi to create the “Drunk Does Not Equal Consent” poster and accompanying discussion tool. While many commended our effort, it became clear additional resources were needed.

“Zeta Tau Alpha continues to highlight the value of the wellbeing and education of our members. Our prevention work has been quite innovative and comprehensive, but a priority was placed on developing further programming on sexual assault and relational violence prevention in order to focus on the safety of our members.” Kyle Pendleton Director of Harm Reduction & Education

After a comprehensive review of current sexual assault prevention programs, curriculums and materials, it was determined that no one program fit into an easy or costeffective model for organization-wide implementation (multi-day trainings and lengthy programs presented roadblocks). It became increasingly clear we would have to develop our own. During this time, Sigma Nu Fraternity expressed a desire to partner with us in the creation, funding and development of a program to reach both fraternity and sorority members across the country. To begin the process, Aaron Boe, the founder of Prevention Culture, an organization focused on nonstranger sexual assault and relational violence prevention, met with National Council; Kyle Pendleton, Director of Harm Reduction & Education; and representatives from Sigma Nu. He presented a proposal for a workshop that would not only promote sexual assault prevention within the collegiate social environment, but would also stress a supportive chapter culture among members. As we officially recognized our partnership with Aaron, ZTA and Sigma Nu were not content with only providing this educational opportunity for members of our organizations; it was decided we would lead an interfraternal movement focused on educating the greater fraternity and sorority community. Throughout the spring, the development of the My Sister, My Responsibility: Sisterhood, Safety and Support

PILOT PROGRAM CHAPTERS A trained facilitator will present the new program to each collegiate chapter during the 2015–2016 academic year. The program was piloted by the following chapters last spring:

workshop continued and five chapters were selected to pilot the program (see box on left). In July, Pooja Hattangdi, President of Lambda Theta Chapter at New York University, shared her reaction to the program at National Leadership Conference in Indianapolis (see page 8 for more on NLC). While reflecting on her experience, Pooja mentioned the value the program places on creating dialogue around such an important topic. “The workshop is innovative, educational and enriching,” she said.

The program was developed with the following learning objectives in mind: • Recognize common warning signs of an unhealthy or abusive relationship • Increase awareness of the risks within the collegiate social environment • Enable the practice of risk-reducing behaviors in relation to sexual assault prevention • Ensure a supportive chapter culture by increasing awareness of specific social attitudes and behaviors Over the course of the spring semester, nine interfraternal organizations joined ZTA and Sigma Nu in the movement to take a stand against sexual violence and commit to educating members on personal and chapter safety. These organizations include four National Panhellenic Conference member groups (Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Zeta, Phi Mu and Pi Beta Phi) and five NorthAmerican Interfraternity Conference organizations (Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha Order, Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Tau). “One organization alone cannot eradicate the problem of sexual assault on college campuses,” said ZTA National President Carolyn Hof Carpenter. “We all need to be advocates for healthy relationships and a safe culture, and that’s why we are especially proud to partner with other fraternal organizations to take this vital step toward preventing sexual assault. We are resolved as an organization to do everything possible to empower our students through strong education and support.” Following the successful pilot led by trained ZTA volunteers and International Office staff (see box on right), the workshop officially launched at NLC in July. During the National Officer Academy, Caitlin Moulton (PP XIV-B), Aaron and Kyle presented the workshop and conducted a training session for all National Officers to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to facilitate the program. Later during the conference breakout sessions, Caitlin and new Traveling Leadership Consultant Katie Blasingame facilitated a preview of the workshop for the collegiate delegates from each chapter.

“Being a facilitator for this conversation and for this program was really empowering for me. I now know if a member, sister or any person comes to me and has been sexually assaulted, I am prepared to have the conversation of care and support with them. I might not have all of the answers to her questions, but I know my role is about providing resources for her and making our sisterhood safer.” Caitlin Moulton, Gamma Rho Province President XIV-B Funded by the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation, a trained National Officer or Traveling Leadership Consultant will facilitate the workshop for each collegiate ZTA chapter during the 2015–2016 school year. As the program continues to grow, ZTA will provide additional resources to encourage a supportive culture within our chapters and to empower members as we all work together to prevent sexual assault and relational violence.

Strive for Greatness N ATION AL L EA DERSHI P CO NFERENCE by Ellen Crawford, Editor

Greatness doesn’t happen overnight. As the attendees of National Leadership Conference 2015 learned, it takes a lot of work. Luckily, the leaders of Zeta Tau Alpha aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and put in the time. More than 600 Zetas gathered in July at the Hyatt Regency in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Strive for Greatness. One Province President and four collegiate leaders shared their reflections to offer insight into the NLC experience. Throughout the six days of the conference, these women worked with sisters of all ages and from across the country to learn more 8 · THEMIS · National Leadership Conference

about themselves and their roles as they developed solutions to the challenges their chapters face. For the entire NLC delegation, each day uncovered the true grit, dedication and excitement ZTA leaders have for their sisters, their chapters and the organization as a whole.

off with an afternoon of gettingto-know-you and team-building activities with National Council (pictured, top middle). The 19 TLCs had the opportunity to ask Council questions about the ins and outs of ZTA, which will help them as they visit collegiate chapters.

Before the collegiate leaders arrived on the scene, National Officers from across the country began assembling on Tuesday, July 7, to learn more about their specific roles. Our newest Traveling Leadership Consultants, who hit the road at the start of the academic year, started things

Province Presidents, Mentors, Directors of New Chapters and Supervisors also got to work Tuesday with the start of National Officer Academy, which accompanies NLC and Convention each year. These sessions, aimed at training ZTA volunteers, provide information,

answer questions and introduce National Officers to the resources that will ensure success in their roles. The first session started with a welcome to new and returning volunteers and an update on the Fraternity from the three Vice Presidents Collegiate and the Extension Director. Julie Resua, PP IV-A (pictured on right), attended National Officer Academy for the first time. Although she served as a General Advisor and Membership Advisor for eight years in North Carolina, this is Julie’s first year as a PP. Throughout National Officer Academy, meetings focused on business items such as chapter finances, risk reduction programs, educational resources and Panhellenic updates. New volunteers continued to attend sessions throughout the week to learn more about their roles. For Julie, the biggest benefit of the academy was learning how to support each of her chapters and to ensure that everyone is on the same page. “The [chapter] leaders know the big picture,” she said. “But [I learned how to] make sure all of the chapter members see that.” On Wednesday, the remaining National Officers arrived and National President Carolyn Hof Carpenter brought everyone together with a

session titled #WEareZTA, which focused on ZTA leaders striving for greatness together (pictured above, right). Although District Presidents have their specific jobs, including planning Zeta Day, and the Province Presidents have their own work, such as training collegiate officers, Mrs. Carpenter stressed the importance of understanding the roles of the other volunteers and including them in plans. The key to this, Mrs. Carpenter said, was getting to know the other National Officers on a personal level. To help the PPs, Mentors, DNCHs, Supervisors and DPs discover their commonalities, Mrs. Carpenter welcomed Debbie Barrett Cooke, DP VIII-B, and Raechel Bennett Biggs, DNCH of Lambda Iota, to the stage to lead a series of icebreakers that pointed out the ways sisters are connected. “If we dig deep and we try,” Debbie said, “we can find the things that unite us.” Once they uncovered their connections, the National Officers got to work to make each chapter even greater. 9

As National Officers continued to learn more about their individual roles, nearly 450 collegians arrived in Indianapolis on Thursday, July 9. Upon arrival, many had the once-ina-ZTA-lifetime opportunity to tour International Office. ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation President Julia Marthaler Hill met them at the front door. “This is your International Office,” she said. “So welcome home.” Members of the FHC board led the way throughout the tour. Collegians were challenged to be on the lookout for ZTA touches throughout the building, such as Themis statues and a silver chain on the rug in the rotunda, where the tour began. Collegians then visited the office of Executive Director Kelley Snow Harmon, who showed them her map of all the chapters she has visited through her many positions with ZTA (pictured on near right). Next, 10

IO staff members greeted groups in the departments that house the ZTA Foundation and Membership Services, where participants saw an antique Initiation card from 1908. In the board room, attendees saw where important ZTA decisions are often made and enjoyed displays on the 13 living former National Presidents and past Presidents. The ZTA education continued as FHC Director at Large and Archives Chairman Susan Beard led attendees upstairs and told stories of our Founders. Next, Patti Cords Levitte, Director of Archives & Historical Education, showed off items that are rarely seen due to their fragile nature. These items included the original Mystifying Picture and the badge of Founder Frances Yancey Smith. Near the end of the tour, Tori Carruth, President of Delta Zeta Chapter at Sam Houston State University (pictured on left), especially enjoyed seeing the Presidents’ Board Room with its pictures of each former National President. “I didn’t know that a member of National Council’s mom is a former National President,” she said, referring to current SecretaryTreasurer Dinah Jackson Laughery and her mother Nora Nell Hardy

Jackson. Before heading back to the hotel, collegians had the opportunity to take pictures with the Zeta Tau Alpha sign and time capsule. After tours, the entire NLC delegation met up at the Hyatt Regency to get the conference officially started! The Opening Session was full of energy, starting with a reenactment of ZTA’s Founding by the TLCs and a video that challenged attendees to make the most of NLC: “What started with nine young women is carried on in you today. To honor their intentions, this year we will Strive for Greatness.” Mrs. Carpenter then welcomed the delegation to four days of sisterhood and leadership and the opportunity to develop their skills to help their chapters be great. She passed the torch to Extension Director Marlene Dunbar Conrad for General Session 1. During her session, Mrs. Conrad began to define greatness and challenge the delegates to push to be the best they and their chapters can be. The first step was to identify the six obstacles that inhibit greatness. Using Disney and Pixar references, Mrs. Conrad explained how fear, ignorance, universal acceptance, comfort, momentum and passivity can keep leaders from doing something truly great. Annie Minges, President of Iota Pi Chapter at University of Dayton (pictured on page 16), connected with

the idea of comfort being an obstacle. “A lot of times our chapter gets too comfortable doing the same thing year after year,” she said. “It’s important for me as President and for our Executive Board to change things up and do things differently.” Mrs. Conrad then invited collegians to fill their “Pyramid of Greatness” with the qualities and behaviors they identified as helpful in building something great. Writing these out helped the delegates see how they define greatness and what they need to do to make positive change within their chapters. Mrs. Conrad closed her session by introducing the GREAT model of creative problem solving that would guide the rest of the conference with the words: Grow, Reality, Explore, Answer and Take Action. That evening at dinner, the delegation enjoyed the State of the Fraternity Address, which is given every year at NLC or Convention. ZTA Foundation President Becky Hainsworth Kirwan, Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Hill (pictured below, right) presented highlights of all the amazing things ZTA has done in the past year—from developing new educational programs to initiating 7,774 new members and more—and shared how the entities will continue to strive for greatness. The transcript can be found on the NLC event page of the ZTA website.

Following dinner and the inspiring message of ZTA’s success, collegians broke into their GREAT Groups to work on growing their leadership styles. GREAT Groups were comprised of 10–12 Zetas from different chapters across the country. In their first meeting, GREAT Groups completed team-building activities that helped each member identify her leadership style (pictured on left). One of the activities the women completed was the DiSC Assessment, a short questionnaire that focuses on how people react to situations as leaders. Annie found that her style is “Conscientiousness,” meaning she is motivated to achieve high personal standards, she tends to be diplomatic by carefully weighing pros and cons, and she prefers environments with clearly defined expectations. “[The DiSC Assessment] really helped me realize how different types of people work in a group setting,” Annie said. “It helped me understand the best way to lead the chapter as a whole because everybody has different personalities.” After growing their own leadership styles and learning how to play on the strengths of others in the chapter, the NLC attendees ended Thursday excited and ready to tackle specific chapter challenges the next day.

MEET JILLIAN MCGRATH

She’s the President of Iota Omega Chapter at University of Maryland.

“How many of you are willing to take a dare?” Executive Director Kelley Harmon asked in General Session 2: Dare to Look Deeper. That dare was for each woman to take a hard look at the reality of her chapter to discover the “ground truth,” what is really happening day-to-day, rather than the “official truth” that is often offered to outsiders. Kelley challenged the women to be vulnerable, look deeper, seek to understand and make a complete picture of their reality to get in touch with what their chapter needs to accomplish. With these ideas in mind, delegates from each chapter met with their National Officer to take a closer look at their reality and to identify challenges for their chapter. Using survey results from chapter members that were collected ahead of time, the delegates completed a SOAR Analysis to identify their chapter’s strengths, opportunities, aspirations and ideal results. Jillian McGrath, President of Iota Omega Chapter at University of 12

Maryland (pictured on left), enjoyed reviewing the survey results with her chapter sisters. “It was great to get a whole page of honest feedback and know what I really can improve and work on,” she said. “It’s always great to check for progress and where we can improve and [to see] people’s specific concerns.” After completing the SOAR Analysis and discussing it with their National Officer, collegians made a list of all the challenges they saw and each delegate picked the one she would focus on for the rest of the week. The delegation then went to General Session 3: Explore. Dream. Discover., presented by Gert Garman, current Director at the Collaborative Design Center at Valencia College and former Creativity and Innovation Catalyst for Disney Destinations. As an expert in the field of creativity, Gert introduced a number of methods of developing unique solutions and going beyond the way things have always been done. One of Gert’s tips was to not get too attached to an idea. “Date an idea,” she said, “but don’t marry it!” Giving it time to develop is what allows a good idea to become a great one. Gert acknowledged that it can be scary to turn those ideas into reality, but she suggested sharing that scare with others who can help and visualizing

success. “It takes bravery if you’re going to make a change,” she said. Tori took that message to heart. “It’s crazy that she worked at Disney World and she’s inspiring girls who are just leaders in their chapters,” she said. “It sounds like such a smaller job, but it really has so many similar aspects.” After practicing new activities that would help their chapters back home, collegians met with their GREAT Groups again. Tori enjoyed gaining perspective from women outside her own chapter and state. “I heard from Presidents from Las Vegas and New York and all these northern states I never get to interact with,” she said. “They have so many ideas that I never would have thought of [on my own].” Meeting in GREAT Groups was also Jillian’s favorite part of NLC. “Everyone was so welcoming and open. We all shut out our inhibitions and our embarrassment about whatever issue our chapter is having and really helped each other,” she said. During this GREAT Group meeting, the delegates learned four brainstorming methods to explore possible solutions for their chapters, rather than picking the first one that came to mind. To look at their challenge from every angle, collegians organized their

thoughts on their own (Solo Storm), worked with one other member (Sister Storm, pictured on far left), developed ideas as a group based on others’ suggestions (Trigger Method), and played with ideas for the opposite problem, then flipped those ideas for solutions to their real challenge (Reverse Brainstorming). “Something I’ll definitely bring back to my chapter is the Trigger Method,” Jillian said. “I think by listening to other people you can trigger really great ideas that you wouldn’t have had.” This method challenges participants to build off one another to develop the best solution. For Jillian, this tool is a great way to pool the resources of the chapter. GREAT Groups sat together at dinner that night to continue discussing ideas, but they took a break when the ZTA Foundation announced the scholarship recipients who were present (pictured on near left). Having applied, Tori was nervous as they began calling names. “I was very hopeful, but I didn’t even know they were doing scholarships that night,” she said. Tori was shocked to hear her name called for receiving an Achievement Scholarship. “When they called my name, I freaked out,” she said. “I called my mom and she was so excited…It’s really going to help senior year kick off to a good start.”

After celebrating the academic achievement of 41 NLC attendees who received scholarships, collegians and National Officers alike enjoyed an evening of entertainment with INDYPROV, an Emmy® award-winning improvisational comedy troupe from Indianapolis. Sisters laughed together at the often ridiculous scenarios the actors got into with suggestions from the audience, but the highlight was undoubtedly participation from a few National Council members. After the show, collegians got to try their hands at improv games that sparked even more creativity (pictured below). Meena Heberling, President of Lambda Iota Chapter at Vanderbilt University (picture on page 15), and the other delegates from her chapter found these activities useful, rather than simply entertaining. “We’re actually going to incorporate some of those games into one of our first recruitment workshops for icebreakers and to brainstorm,” she said. At the end of a busy day, the NLC delegates were bursting with creative ideas to help their chapters strive for greatness. The next step in the GREAT model was to answer their challenge by narrowing down their options.

National Leadership Conference · Fall 2015 · 13

Saturday was focused on finding the best answers to chapter challenges and creating a plan to take action. NPC Alternative Delegate Malaea Nelms Seleski started the process in General Session 4: Focus Your Answer. During a game of ZTA Trivia Crack, collegians guessed if they didn’t know the answer to a question. In real life, however, things are a little different. “Oftentimes when we don’t know the answer, we do what’s always been done,” Mrs. Seleski said. “But that’s not good enough anymore. That won’t make us great.” She went on to identify differences between making decisions and playing games. In real life, there are no pre-assigned answers, there isn’t always one “right” way and it’s not always a win-lose situation. “Sometimes you learn more from losing,” Mrs. Seleski said. Losing brings about change. The key is how those changes are selected. Jillian found Mrs. Seleski’s tips for taking calculated risks to be most helpful. “It’s so important to weigh the pros and cons before making any real decision,” Jillian said. After learning the importance of examining every option, collegians met with their GREAT Groups one last

time to chip away at their options and reach an ultimate solution. Each woman passed around the list of her top 20 ideas she generated the day before. Group members then placed stickers next to the three ideas they thought would be the most effective, balancing creativity and realistic thinking (pictured below, right). With so many ideas to choose from, Tori loved the sticker activity. “That was a great way for girls to say, ‘You have 20 great ideas, but I think these are the three you need to work on first,’” she said. Once their top three most popular ideas were identified, the delegates looked at each one and thought about the impact of implementing it. They imagined what the positive and negative results would be if the idea was successful or not. After weighing their options, they selected the idea they would take back to their chapters and headed into General Session 5: Time to Take Action. There, presenter Vice President Collegiate II Lynn Compton Chapman asked, “What will your chapter look like if this is the year you make a change?” She challenged the collegians to make SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable,

Rewarding and Time-bound) goals for implementing their ideas. Then, working within their chapters, the delegates identified the people and resources they would enlist to help them and crafted a plan for presenting the NLC experience to their chapter sisters. The excitement in the room was palpable as the delegates from each chapter formed their creative plans. That energy inspired Jillian to bring something back to school other than the ideas she and her delegates developed for strengthening recruitment. “The biggest thing I’m hoping to bring back is a sense of enthusiasm and commitment to doing something great,” she said. Having worked through the GREAT model of creative problem solving, the delegates spent Saturday afternoon attending breakout sessions. One breakout session focused on the ZTA Foundation’s newest Think Pink® partners: the American Cancer Society® and Bright Pink®. During a presentation by a breast cancer survivor, participants were inspired to get to work with ACS’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® Walks (pictured below, left). “It kind of solidified why I love being a Zeta so

much and why we’re here,” Annie said. “It makes me happy to be part of something bigger than myself. Having a new partnership with the American Cancer Society, I can tell there are great things to come and I can’t wait to see what’s next.” Attendees also experienced the Brighten Up® Educational Workshop. Jillian’s chapter piloted the program last spring, but the presentation at NLC reignited her enthusiasm. “I love Bright Pink because I think unless you have a family member or someone close to you who is affected by breast cancer…it’s hard to make it personal to you,” she said. The 20-minute presentation does that, however, by challenging each woman to take control of her own health. “It’s so quick and engaging,” Jillian added. “I think they do a great job making something that can be a little bit scary more relatable and easier to swallow.” Another breakout session introduced collegians to the new My Sister, My Responsibility: Sisterhood, Safety and Support program about sexual assault and relational violence prevention (learn more on page 6). Meena (pictured on right) was happy to see that such a necessary program will be coming to her chapter, and she was struck by how easily she could

relate to the presentation. She also appreciated the way the facilitator stressed that she is a Zeta and a woman who cares about others, and that’s why the message of support is so important. “That’s what we needed to hear and that’s what all of us can help each other say,” she said. Finally, the delegates from each chapter met with their National Officer to discuss their action plans. Julie, being a new PP, used this time to get to know her chapters better. “I got them to tell me about their chapter, the problems they have and some of the solutions they want to work toward to solve those problems,” she explained. This time to develop those relationships was an important part of Julie’s development as a new Province President that will ensure her success as a National Officer. After days of tackling challenges, the NLC delegation was ready to celebrate with Crown Chapter awards (pictured above) and ZLAM Jam on Saturday night! 15

MEET ANNIE MINGES

And celebrate they did! Sitting with other sisters and National Officers from their states, collegians eagerly awaited to find out if their chapter earned a Crown Chapter award for attaining the standard of chapter excellence as set by National Council. The room exploded with cheers and the rattle of noisemakers as the 117 chapters were announced (see the list on the following page). For Tori and her Delta Zeta Chapter sisters, it was a nerve-racking and exciting night. “Every year, every President is just shaking like a leaf hoping that we [get Crown Chapter],” she said. “To finally hear our name was the most relieving thing ever.” Following dinner, 600 Zetas celebrated sisterhood at ZLAM Jam (pictured above, left). National Officers and collegians danced the night away and enjoyed a viewing of National Council’s very own sisterhood video. On Sunday, the sisterhood continued with the celebration of two rituals: Big Sister Service and Rededication. During this special opportunity to 16

experience the ritual on a national level, alumnae and collegians gathered in their whites to renew their commitment to ZTA and one another (pictured above, right). During the brunch that followed, Mrs. Carpenter gave her final remarks and referred back to the first session of NLC with her own Pyramid of Greatness. Relating the words of The Creed to the pyramid concept, she spoke of the foundation the ZTA Founders created that allows Zetas to strive for greatness. “I hope you’ll be inspired by our Founders’ timeless instruction,” she said. As NLC came to a close, Meena reflected on the week and the way the National Officers had made her feel welcomed and supported. “They want what’s best for us,” she said. “They put this entire conference on for us, so now we have the responsibility of sharing that with the rest of our [sisters] who couldn’t be here.” Annie (pictured on left) was also excited to return to her chapter with all she had learned over the four days. “Coming here, I definitely regained a new love for my chapter and I’m so excited. I wish I was going back to my chapter tomorrow so that we could get started,” she said. “I’m bringing home so many great ideas.”

National Leadership Conference · Fall 2015 · 17

By Ellen Crawford, Editor

Nine young women met in a dormitory bathroom 117 years ago to create Zeta Tau Alpha. At that time, they could not have imagined what ZTA would become or the impact it would have on thousands of women. As you prepare to recognize Founders’ Day on Oct. 15, here are a few ideas, inspired by our collegiate and alumnae chapters, to make your celebration one that the Founders themselves would want to attend.

Eat like the Founders

Invite sisters of all ages

Back in 1898 when Founder Mary Campbell Jones Batte received a gift of strawberries from an admirer, the Founders saw it as an excuse to host a party. Not much has changed in 117 years as sisters still enjoy digging in to a variety of strawberry treats together.

The Founders set up a sisterhood that lasts far beyond four years. Because of the steps they took, Zeta Is Forever. Celebrate that legacy with an alumnae-collegiate event that includes sisters of all ages. In addition to performing the ritual, there are many activities everyone can enjoy.

Because Founders’ Day is such a celebration, it’s a great time to get creative with the Founders’ favorite snack. While Zetas love the classic strawberry shortcake and chocolate-covered strawberries, why not mix it up? Try strawberry salsa with chips for a blend of sweet and salty, or work with sisters to create a strawberry pizza with sugar cookie crust, cream cheese, strawberries and glaze.

Last year, the Springfield, MO Chapter celebrated Oct. 15 by hosting the women of Mu Chapter at Drury University for a chili supper. Sisters got to know one another and shared the story of our founding as well as their own favorite ZTA memories over a perfect fall meal.

To make the party sweeter last year, Delta Nu Chapter at The University of New Orleans invited local alumnae to share their Strawberry Stories, or why they “picked” ZTA, with the chapter. To finish the celebration, the chapter put on a fashion show in which nine collegians dressed up and the others guessed which Founder they were. 18 · THEMIS · Fraternity News

Another way to make the most of Founders’ Day is to pair it with another event. While many alumnae were on The University of Tennessee at Martin’s campus for the homecoming game last year, the Martin, TN Chapter organized a celebration of the Founders’ Day Service and a catered dinner to enjoy with Delta Mu Chapter. Collegians got a taste of life after college and alumnae got to celebrate their alma mater and ZTA within one trip.

Test your ZTA knowledge

1 Promote ZTA values

One way to honor the Founders is by learning about who they were and the legacies they left behind. Test your ZTA knowledge by adding a friendly competition to your Founders’ Day bash, such as a Jeopardy-style game. Split into teams and award prizes to the group that racks up the most points or creates the most creative team name. Last year, the San Diego, CA Chapter created a matching game to see who knew the most about the nine women who started it all. Members matched information about each Founder to her name and picture to see how much they really knew about each woman.

Recognizing the Founders’ values is a meaningful way to celebrate. For example, education was important to the Founders, who all studied teaching. To promote this value, the Dekalb County, GA Chapter added an educational workshop by Bright Pink® to their Founders’ Day dinner. Similarly, Eta Xi Chapter at Virginia Tech participated in a campus-wide program that promoted part of The Creed—“to look for the good in everyone”—by challenging students to acknowledge important people in their lives. This activity honored not only the founding of ZTA, but the very core of the organization.

Founders’ Day Proclamation For decades, Zeta Tau Alpha members have retold the intriguing story of our nine Founders meeting secretly in the bathroom of their dormitory at the State Female Normal School to organize their new fraternity. Maud Jones Horner’s handwritten notes describe their meetings in intimate detail. As I reviewed those treasured notes recently, this line jumped out at me: “We were literally scared to death all the time we were in there for fear that somebody’s keen eye would discern the tiny flickering light.” How fortunate we are that we no longer have to fear being found out. Rather than hiding our sisterhood, we want everyone we meet to know we are Zeta Tau Alphas. Instead of gathering around a tiny flickering light, our Fraternity now shines brightly, illuminating our chapters, our

campuses and our communities. As an organization, we have taken the lead in shedding light on and creating programming that addresses the critical issues of our time—hazing, social responsibility and sexual assault. Maud’s notes continue: “We had to steal up the stairs like convicts instead of girls who were striving with all their might and main to establish a strong and loyal sisterhood.” Mirroring our Founders, we chose to strive for greatness last year. Moving forward into our 117th year, National Council challenges our members to go a step further—to inspire greatness. We envision a year when our collegiate and alumnae members encourage each other to take actions that continue to strengthen our strong and loyal sisterhood.

Our Founders believed firmly their Zeta Tau Alpha was “destined to make its impression on the millions who are to follow its loyal teachings and principles.” Those nine young women remain, more than a century later, our inspiration. As we follow our Fraternity’s teachings and principles, we will certainly inspire greatness and uphold our Founders’ challenge to always “Seek the Noblest.” Given under my hand and seal, I proclaim the fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord, two thousand and fifteen, as our 117th Founders’ Day.

LEGACIES PROFILE

BY ELLEN CRAWFORD, EDITOR

LIKE MOTHER, Meet Sinead “Shay” Cox!

She’s a sophomore member of Alpha Gamma Chapter at the University of Michigan and daughter of Laura (on right).

What advice did your mother give you before recruitment? L: My mom [Peggy Pilon Erpelding] wanted me to be a Zeta Tau Alpha. She was an initiate of Beta Phi Chapter at Michigan State, too.

S: My mom didn’t say she wanted me to go ZTA. She told me to be myself and find the chapter that was best for me.

L: I wanted her to find her own fit. I knew she would like joining a sorority, but I wanted her to be sure it was the right one for her.

What does being a legacy mean to you? L: I knew in high school that my mom was a Zeta, and I attended the

Beta Phi 50th anniversary party with her, but I didn’t appreciate being a legacy at first. I was the only legacy in my pledge class, but Sinead had quite a few.

S: We had six. I didn’t really understand it either. My mom was

involved with an alumnae chapter [Detroit Metro, MI Chapter], so I went to events growing up. I always knew I wanted to pledge when I got to college.

Why did you choose ZTA and what went through your head when you received your bid? S: I felt like I fit in with the girls. When I got my bid I was excited and nervous. It’s just nerve-racking going into a whole group of people where you know no one.

L: For me, I was really excited and happy. From the first meeting, I loved the girls I met so I wanted to be there. They were so welcoming and we clicked right away.

What’s your favorite part about being a ZTA? L: I think it’s a cool way to identify with others and to have an instant connection with people. I’m always meeting women who are also Zetas or who know other Zetas.

S: I agree. I’ve met so many people through ZTA.

LIKE DAUGHTER Meet Laura Erpelding Cox!

She’s an alumna of Beta Phi Chapter at Michigan State University, a State Representative in Michigan and a legacy herself.

Did your mother attend your Initiation Service? L: My mom suprised me. I remember walking in and being confused when I saw her. It didn’t even cross my mind that she would come.

S: My mom and grandmother both came. It was supposed to be a

surprise but I knew they were coming. Everyone treated them so well, which was really cool.

L: My mother gave me her badge, which I’ve now passed on to Sinead. Describe your favorite sisterhood event. S: I’m actually the Sisterhood Chairman. Last year we did a surprise

sisterhood called Death by Chocolate to kick off the semester. We had all different kinds of desserts for the girls to enjoy. It was a lot of fun.

L: I remember going ice skating. I always enjoyed just doing things spontaneously with a group of sisters.

Tell us about a fun tradition for special occasions or game day. L: We always did a lovely Founders’ Day ceremony and many girls from outside of the house would come over for a nice dinner.

S: At our school we’re paired with a fraterntiy to be our gameday partner. In the ZTA house, we all sleepover with our Bigs the night before, then everyone from both groups gets up early to get ready for the game together.

How has membership in ZTA influenced your life? L: Through ZTA I learned how to be a good leader by

participating in something I care about and working to make it better. I think a lot of my career success came from the lessons I learned in ZTA. By being involved you learn how to figure things out.

S: Being part of ZTA has made me more comfortable

at such a big school. I know I have sisters who are and always will be around in times of need.

REMEMBERING TRIXY SWEARINGEN BRILL Trixy Swearingen Brill had a passion for serving Zeta Tau Alpha wherever she lived. The former Vice President Collegiate III passed away June 30, at age 59, in Terre Haute, Indiana, following a long battle with cancer. An initiate of Gamma Chi Chapter (Indiana State University), Mrs. Brill served as Vice President Collegiate III from 2000 to 2006 under former National Presidents Alice McCann Mathews and Julia Marthaler Hill. Although she and her husband Jeff called Indiana home, they moved several times for his career, including stops in New Mexico, North Carolina and Wisconsin. “One thing that stood out to me about Trixy,” Mrs. Mathews said, “was that through the moves, she always reached out and got involved in the local ZTA alumnae chapter. She understood ZTA gave her that common connection with sisters throughout the USA. Her family was her priority, but she found a way to serve ZTA in different capacities from many locations, and each time she made a deep impact.” Mrs. Brill had a heart for helping chapters reach their full potential, as exhibited by her time as Province President XVIII-B, her mentorships to Alpha Omicron Chapter (The University of Iowa) and Alpha Psi Chapter (University of Missouri) before her time on National Council, and to Iota Chi Chapter (Middle Tennessee State University) and Alpha

Theta Chapter (Purdue University) after her retirement. “She was so passionate no matter whether the chapter was large or small,” said Mrs. Hill, current ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation President. “She thought through every situation carefully, so her advice to her chapters and her collaboration with her National Council sisters was always valuable.”

She was a longtime teacher and, at the time of her passing, a member of the ZTA Foundation Scholarship Committee. The family has requested memorial contributions be made to the ZTA Foundation’s Scholarship Program.

Mrs. Brill also served ZTA as National Panhellenic Conference Alternate Delegate, Nominating Committee Chairman, ZTA Foundation committee member and General Advisor to Gamma Chi Chapter. Everyone who met Mrs. Brill recalls her infectious smile, quick wit and endearing charm. A generation of Zetas will always remember her stellar roles as Princess Diana and Tonya Harding during Convention Fun Night skits. Two years ago, the Brills moved back to Indiana and built a house on Heritage Lake. In August 2014, they hosted the Traveling Leadership Consultants for a day of boating and fun, providing a welcome break from TLC training in Indianapolis. “Trixy was so fun-loving,” Mrs. Hill said. “Her caring nature made her a true Zeta Lady. She will remain in our hearts forever.” In addition to her husband, Mrs. Brill is survived by her daughters, Jennifer and Heather; her grandson, J.D.; three sisters and a brother.

International Office is moving to Carmel By Christy Marx Barber, Alpha Psi For just the sixth time in 85 years, Zeta Tau Alpha is in search of a new official address.

projects have transformed Carmel from a small suburb to a vibrant city rich in architectural diversity.

The ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation has announced plans to move International Office from its current location in Indianapolis to Carmel, Indiana, about 20 minutes north. FHC President Julia Marthaler Hill made the official announcement at National Leadership Conference in July.

With excellent schools, low taxes, safe neighborhoods and ease of transportation, Carmel has emerged as a coveted place to live, not just in Indiana, but in the United States. In 2012, CNN Money Magazine named Carmel the “No. 1 place to live in America” (for cities ranging from 50,000 to 300,000 in population).

“We are excited about moving to Carmel and have received a warm welcome from city officials,” Mrs. Hill said. “We know our staff will enjoy working there and our members will find great places to explore when they visit IO. Soon every Zeta will be proud to call Carmel our home.”

The FHC has begun the process of locating the optimal property on which to build the new International Office in Carmel. Because the office at 3450 Founders Road in Indianapolis is currently listed for sale, the IO staff may receive an email announcing that realtors and prospective buyers are on their way to view the building. Much like homeowners with a house on the market, they are skilled at tidying up quickly. Executive Director Kelley Snow Harmon says the employees have embraced the move with enthusiasm.

Carmel is a fast-growing, economically-thriving suburban edge city with a population of nearly 86,000 residents. It has been named the “No. 1 safest suburb in America” and is recognized for excellence in planning, development and service. Over the past 20 years, ambitious redevelopment

From one of the first central locations in Evanston, Illinois (pictured on left, bottom) to the first Indianapolis location at 3330 Founders Road (pictured on left, top), International Office has grown as ZTA has expanded. The current location at 3450 Founders Road (pictured above) is currently listed for sale. 38 · THEMIS · ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation News

International Office is moving about 20 minutes north of its current location to Carmel, Indiana. Named the “No. 1 place to live in America” by CNN Money Magazine in 2012, the picturesque suburb will offer members a great place to explore when visiting International Office.

“The staff is very excited about the future move,” Kelley said. “Perhaps more than any of us, they know how much we have outgrown this office and they are looking forward to expanded work spaces. They know the area offers many options for lunch time and after-work activities with great restaurants, shops and walking trails. But most importantly, they know a new IO in Carmel will benefit the ZTA members they serve.” ZTA dedicated the current International Office in October 1993. At the time, it seemed as though 20,000 square feet would be ample, but ZTA has been blessed to grow immensely in the last 20 years. The current building does not have space for a growing staff and the Fraternity currently stores many important supplies and the 251 chapter flags in a rented storage facility. The FHC anticipates the building will be nearly double the size of the current space. “As we develop our third International Office building,” Mrs. Hill said, “we will work with architects, engineers and contractors to design and construct a building that will provide adequate space for a growing staff and eliminate the need for off-site storage rental. It will pay tribute to our Virginia heritage, house a museum-style archive to preserve our history and include training facilities. Just as we are with our new residential construction projects, the Fraternity Housing Corporation will be cost-conscious and good stewards of the corporation’s funds as we plan and build the new International Office.”

As Zeta Tau Alpha has grown in membership through the years, the requirements of a headquarters have also grown. In the 1920s, the central office, as it was called then, was located in the hometown of the National President, including Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; and Beaumont, Texas. In 1930, ZTA relocated its operations to Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The Fraternity leased three different spaces in Evanston from 1930 to 1977. In 1969, the name of the office was changed to International Office to reflect the Fraternity’s far-reaching membership. At the Diamond Anniversary Convention in 1974, ZTA announced it would build its first fraternity-owned headquarters in Indianapolis. The Circle City was chosen for its central location, lower construction costs and its waiver of property tax for nonprofit organizations. ZTA constructed and moved into its first Indy location at 3330 Founders Road in 1977. By 1992, the Fraternity had outgrown that 9,000-square-foot facility. The FHC broke ground at 3450 Founders Road in April 1992 and sold the first building to Theta Chi Fraternity, who later sold it to Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity, whose headquarters adjoins it. As new members, Zetas through the years may have memorized three different addresses in Evanston, Illinois, and two on Founders Road in Indianapolis as the Fraternity’s headquarters address. Stay tuned to learn the next official address in beautiful Carmel, one our new members will memorize for years to come. ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation News · Fall 2015 · 39

Founders’ sisters became first legacies By Patti Cords Levitte, Beta Phi, Director of Archives & Historical Education and Susan Beard, Delta Psi, Archives Chairman One of the reasons Zeta Tau Alpha was organized was to create a permanent sense of closeness and sisterhood between the Founders. Creating the fraternity was the next best thing to being biological sisters! But the Founders would quickly find out that having one’s actual sister join ZTA could be a delicate matter. Because their crowd of sisters was so small, the Founders looked very carefully at every woman they invited to membership. Rivalries between the sororities at the State Female Normal School were fierce, and competition for pledging the most desirable members was strong. It was not necessarily a foregone conclusion that a member’s sister would be asked to join. Most of the Founders had graduated by the time their younger sisters arrived at the Normal, but they were still involved with the operations of Alpha Chapter, and their opinions were valued. Frances Yancey Smith’s younger sister DeBerniere (known as “Bernie”) entered the SFNS at the same time as Mary Coleman, the little sister of Ethel and Alice Coleman. Bernie and “Lady Mary,” as she was known, were members of the June 1906 graduating class and

even roomed together their first year at the Normal. From letters that Frances wrote to Grand Secretary/ Treasurer Bruce Houston Davis in 1902 and 1903, it was clear that Alpha Chapter members were not following the procedures that the Founders had set in place for welcoming sisters (biological or otherwise) into ZTA. She was concerned that Alpha Chapter was dismissing her sister without having a reason for doing so. Although Frances did not make a fuss over the issue, other Founders did. Maud Jones Horner wrote in a November 1902 letter to Bruce: “It is alright to be particular about taking in girls but it won’t do to draw the line too closely—nobody is perfect.” The discussion on inviting members’ sisters continued with another letter from Maud to Bruce in February 1903. In it, Maud expressed the necessity of following the membership policies the Founders had set and giving siblings appropriate consideration. Although there are no references to the term “legacy,” early documents show the importance of maintaining family connections within the ZTA sisterhood whenever possible. Maud intervened in Alpha Chapter’s membership practices, but only to make a point about following proper procedures. What was the issue in Alpha Chapter’s reluctance to give Bernie Smith a bid? It turns out she spent too much time with the other sororities on campus, and allowed them to “rush” her at various private get-togethers in dorm rooms. Her amiable and friendly nature had convinced the Zetas that she wanted to join another group, but Maud did not feel this was a reason to dismiss her. Like Bernie, the younger Coleman sister was also friendly with the other groups on campus. Lady Mary, who was as popular as her older sisters, was actually offered bids by other sororities at the Normal. When she and Bernie shared a dorm room, they did not discuss ZTA or their sisters’ involvement. Both thought the other would be upset if one was to join ZTA and the other was not invited. This confusion stretched on throughout 1903 and into 1904, with both women considering other options at different times.

After much discussion, Bernie and Mary became the first legacies of Zeta Tau Alpha when they were initiated into Alpha Chapter on June 1, 1904. Both were active members of the chapter when Alpha’s charter was recalled by the

READER’S GUIDE Themis of Zeta Tau Alpha, the official publication of the Fraternity, has been published continuously since 1903.

1906 Convention, in order for ZTA to be eligible to join the National Panhellenic Conference. They can be seen in the last yearbook photo of the original Alpha Chapter. Helen Crafford’s sister, Estelle, was also at the Normal during this time, but, unlike Bernie and Mary, she did not join any of the four sororities. This may have been due to the fact that the Crafford girls’ mother had died in 1902, and their father was gravely ill, passing away in 1907. She did not seem to be very involved at the SFNS, and little is known about her. The other early legacy was the sister of Grace Elcan Garnett. Grace could have rightfully been ZTA’s tenth Founder, except for the fact that she was not enrolled at the SFNS during the fall term of 1898. Grace does take her place in our history as one of the first three new members. She was also the catalyst for having ZTA chartered by an act of the Virginia State Legislature in 1902. Just as it sometimes happens today, Grace’s sister Edna found a better fit with another group at the Normal. Maud wrote in a Feb. 7, 1903, letter to Bruce that “Edna Elcan and Lucy Daniel have been taken in the new sorority, ΑΣΑ. I am delighted that Edna has been taken in.” Edna Venable Elcan Jones went on to become the first National President of Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority, from 1905 to 1908. Although Grace was disappointed that Edna did not join ZTA, she was proud of Edna’s leadership in ΑΣΑ. This is just another example of how closely the “Farmville Four” sororities were connected by family ties. Although the number of ZTA legacies has increased exponentially since our founding, our policy regarding legacies reflects our Founders’ wishes. ZTA requires all legacies to be invited to at least one invitational recruitment event, in order for the chapter and potential new member to have adequate time to meet each other. Current NPC recruitment rules, including the implementation of Release Figure Methodology in 2003, allow for legacies to have the best chance at being placed in a sorority home, whether in their family member’s organization or elsewhere. The Founders could not have envisioned the extent of ZTA’s growth, but their feelings about finding a mutual fit for legacies is still echoed in our practices today.
