From Where I Sit Greetings from Pennsylvania, sisters! It’s been seven months, and like many of you, I’m still trying to figure out how to adjust to life during a pandemic. The worry list is long for all of us, and the end seems anything but in sight. To combat the heaviness of this moment, a special Zeta sister prompted me to make a personal commitment to approach each day with gratitude. Most mornings, you can find me enjoying the quiet before my family awakes, drinking coffee and naming four things I am grateful for. As a higher education administrator working remotely this fall and as ZTA’s NPC Delegate and Chief Panhellenic Officer, I have a two-fold perspective on COVID-19’s impact on higher education. I understand the decision to close campuses when the health, reputational and financial risks outweigh the benefits of the in-person experience; I also know holding traditional ZTA experiences virtually comes with challenges. To support collegiate sorority women, NPC and ZTA instituted task forces to implement more flexible policies and provide best practices for Recruitment. In my role, I engaged in countless conversations with the other NPC groups about when it made sense for campuses to shift from in-person to hybrid or virtual Recruitment. I’m grateful for the members and chapters that have demonstrated the flexibility to meet potential new members via virtual platforms for successful Recruitments! For universities that moved forward with in-person campus experiences, August quickly became a dizzying game of whack-a-mole as our chapter leaders, volunteers and staff worked to implement strategies to limit the spread of the virus within our membership and in our facilities. I am beyond thankful for the many hearts, minds and hands that frequently came together across the 26 NPC organizations to solve problems and coordinate a health-centered approach for each campus. In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, some collegiate leaders and members have faced the challenges of the Abolish Greek Life movement. While I agree that the call for fraternities and sororities to critically examine their histories, policies and practices is noble and necessary, the movement’s all-or-nothing approach focuses on elimination with no appetite for reform. A perceived solution to social injustice, closing chapters takes away fraternities and sororities’ agency to build change from within the system. I hope our strengthened resolve that justice and sorority membership are not mutually exclusive in ZTA inspires the same gratitude in our membership as it does in me. Though our individual and collective futures are not as clear as we’d like, I am grateful to be serving the Fraternity during this time. I take comfort in knowing ZTA has navigated many challenging moments with wisdom, strength and love. Thank you for trusting in me and my National Council sisters to carry the torch and light our path toward continued greatness.

Steadfast & Strong In ZTA, we are steadfast in our loyalty to one another, during good times and bad; we honor our commitment to philanthropy and bettering our communities; and we remember our values in our hearts, thoughts and deeds. Remaining steadfast requires us to be strong. This second component of the 20202022 biennium theme calls on us to demonstrate the dedication and determination to “do the right thing, for the right reason, all the time,” even—and especially—when the journey becomes difficult. Look for this column in future issues to read about women who exhibit these qualities.

FOUNDERS’ DAY

Proclamation In 1898, our Founders wanted to create a unique organization at the State Female Normal School. Two other sororities had already formed, but the nine friends envisioned a sisterhood on their own terms and with their own goals. “We were not content to be only a club,” Maud Jones Horner said. “We wished to be something stronger and greater, to reach far out and have influence wherever we went.” That determination laid the groundwork to make Zeta Tau Alpha one of the largest organizations created by women, for women. The belief in a space for women to have a more meaningful collegiate experience propelled ZTA forward through the Great Depression, World Wars I and II and into the mid20th century.

One of the greatest threats to that experience came in the 1960s. Our nation experienced the assassinations of President John Kennedy in 1963 and Dr. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kennedy in 1968; protests against the war in Vietnam; and unrest erupting from the Civil Rights Movement. College students and administrators questioned the need for fraternities and sororities. At Convention 1972, ZTA delegates voted to remove exclusionary wording about religion and race from our Membership Selection Policy. Our growth remained strong as we installed 39 chapters in the ensuing 10 years. Much like earlier decades, today’s complex reality is creating feelings of unrest, unease and uncertainty. This past spring and summer we began to navigate the impacts of COVID-19 and calls for the abolishment of fraternity/sorority organizations. We have renewed our stand against discrimination with the creation of our Inclusion Committee in summer 2019 and the development of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategic Plan. By upholding our Founders’ legacy

of loyalty to each other, we will sustain our sisterhood and help it prosper for decades to come. As we face these challenges together, we have a calling to extend our reach, to have that greater influence and to keep ZTA Steadfast & Strong. Given under my hand and seal, I proclaim the fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty, as our 122nd Founders’ Day.

ZTA ANNOUNCES DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION STRATEGIC PLAN By Becky Koltonski Gleason, Sr. Director of Education & Programs, and Hannah Keith, Director of Education & Engagement

While ZTA has made great progress in the past year with guidance from the Inclusion Committee, we know it is not enough. ZTA must, and will, continue to evaluate every aspect of our sisterhood through the lens of diversity, equity and inclusion in order to build an organization where every sister feels a true sense of belonging. Now is the time for action, and we are glad to debut ZTA’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategic Plan so we can be held accountable to that commitment. ZTA’s Inclusion Philosophy is rooted in both the Seeking Understanding that We Might Gain True Wisdom Key Value and Belonging, one of the Five Areas of Sisterhood. The audiences or parts of the ZTA experience that relate to each component appear underneath those headers. The following excerpts of the full plan, which was announced on Sept. 1, 2020, is just the beginning of the journey. As ZTA continues its inclusion efforts, the Inclusion Committee will be thoughtful in

Themis Fall 2020 | Seeking Understanding

reviewing and updating next steps and sharing progress on an ongoing basis. To see the full plan and ZTA’s other DEI initiatives, please visit https://zetataualpha.org/about/ inclusion.

SEEKING UNDERSTANDING ZTA’s Seeking Understanding that We Might Gain True Wisdom Key Value comes directly from The Creed of Zeta Tau Alpha. This Value looks like being open to new ideas and perspectives; seeking out opportunities to interact with and learn from people of different backgrounds; and being comfortable discussing differing values and beliefs. This Value guides ZTA’s work to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for its membership.

Collegiate Development Completed With professionals in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion, ZTA developed peer-facilitated workshops focused on inclusion and belonging called My Sister, My Responsibility®: Seeking Understanding that are available to both alumnae and collegians. These workshops address the topics of personal and social identities, genuine conversations, microaggressions, cultural appropriation, power and privilege, and how to support sisters of all different backgrounds. These workshops are also available online and in print for any fraternity/ sorority chapter or campus

community to access and facilitate These workshops are also available for alumnae chapters to facilitate. In Progress ZTA is executing a diversity audit of membership at all levels and partnering with an outside firm to conduct a thorough review of the national organization and provide recommendations on offering a member experience rooted in Seeking Understanding and building Belonging.

Collegiate Officers Completed ZTA created and required collegiate chapters to appoint a member to fill the Inclusion Chair officer position on Program Council. The Inclusion Chair’s goal is to create a sense of belonging for members of the chapter and educate them on diversity-andinclusion-related topics. Each chapter received a detailed description of the chair’s duties, and the Inclusion Chairs are receiving ongoing training to equip and prepare them to lead.

Alumnae Development Completed Alumnae Crown Chapter, the award given to alumnae chapters for attaining a standard of excellence each year, now requires alumnae chapters to facilitate an inclusion program at least once per biennium. Chapters could facilitate a Seeking Understanding workshop, attend a community event or host a discussion with a professional in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion. Collegiate chapters must facilitate an inclusion program once per year.

Communication

National Boards In Progress ZTA is enhancing diversity of national volunteers on all levels, from local advisors through national board members, by developing a more inclusive pipeline. The organization is building a system that creates more equity and access in the process to become a national volunteer through creating a volunteer interest form and application and appointment process.

Staff In Progress ZTA is examining the selection and training of International Office staff, including Leadership Consultants, and focusing on ways to develop a diverse pool of candidates during the hiring process, reduce bias in the interview process and develop belonging during onboarding.

BUILDING BELONGING Through ZTA’s research, we know Belonging is the most important component of ZTA’s Five Areas of Sisterhood. Belonging focuses on creating a sense of connection that goes beyond friendship, where sorority sisters describe each other as family and describe ZTA as a home away from home. As we look to expand our efforts in creating a more inclusive, diverse and equitable environment for our membership, we hope to build a stronger sense of belonging among members.

In Progress ZTA is fostering a greater sense of belonging and understanding among collegiate and alumnae chapters by developing a best practices guide for creating social media posts that increase opportunities for diversity, equity and inclusion education and highlight the diversity within their own chapters. The organization is exploring its history to contextualize its past as it relates to diversity, equity and inclusion practices with the intent of publishing findings in Themis magazine.

Improving Access In Progress The organization is building and promoting a mentor program for underrepresented collegians to find and create a greater sense of belonging, build a stronger network of support and develop more leadership opportunities within ZTA. On Facebook, ZTA is creating affinity groups based on member identities to provide space for all members to feel like they have a community to thrive in within ZTA.

role of inclusion in the recruitment process. ZTA also provided a facilitator guide for attendees to use within their chapters to discuss their role in creating an inclusive recruitment experience. In Progress The organization is evaluating and updating the collegiate guide to recruitment to focus on increasing access, education and best practices as it relates to creating a more equitable environment for both Zetas facilitating conversations and potential new members who are going through Primary Recruitment or Continuous Open Bidding. In 2019, ZTA reviewed the Legacy Policy, which currently states a legacy will be invited back to one invitational event provided she meets the membership requirements of the chapter. Should she not meet the requirements (e.g., GPA, good standing with the university, connection with the chapter, etc.), the chapter is not required to invite her back after the first round. An appointed task force will continue to evaluate the policy to remove barriers for potential new members who are first-generation college students and for those who come from families with no ties to fraternity and sorority life.

Recruitment Completed The organization hosted a virtual presentation called “Inclusion Matters, and It Starts with Recruitment,” facilitated by Hailey Mangrum, organizational growth consultant from Phired Up, for collegiate officers, advisors and volunteers on the

By Christy Marx Barber, Staff Writer, and Ensley Caldwell, Editor The year 2020 continues to outdo itself in terms of proving to be a year unlike any other; but that didn’t stop Zeta Tau Alpha from hosting its first-ever virtual Sisterhood Celebration June 24-27, 2020, complete with agendas, social media filters, outside speakers, and of course, the true Convention element of official Business Meetings. With a total of 87,755 minutes viewed and 9,319 likes, comments and shares on Facebook alone, members took advantage of this unique opportunity to tune in and share what it means to “Be Zetas True.”

THE MAKING OF A VIRTUAL SISTERHOOD CELEBRATION

social media

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., it seemed farfetched that a microscopic virus might interfere with the biennial ZTA celebration. Convention was three months away, and so many Zetas were looking forward to catching up with old friends, making new ones and sharing the bonds of sisterhood. However, the rapid spread of the virus inevitably put the possibility of canceling the in-person experience on National Council’s radar; it became a topic of conversation in the leaders’ twice-weekly meetings. Before ZTA could share the final decision with all members, National Council and International Office staff had to determine how to refund registration fees, renegotiate hotel contracts, and cancel flights as well as how to elect the next National Council while still operating within the Fraternity’s Constitution & Bylaws. Another concern was how to effectively communicate all this information to members in a time when everyone’s inboxes and social media overflowed with messaging. “In some ways, canceling the inperson aspects of Convention for the first time since World War II was a difficult decision to make,” said National President Alicia Patten Williams. “But knowing all nine members of National Council were unanimous in our desire to keep members safe made having to make that decision—and the decisions that followed—easier.” After the April 24 announcement canceling the in-person gathering, ZTA got down to the business of how to virtually “Be Zetas True.” That included many more decisions about how to safely celebrate the biennium and all the accomplishments of ZTA’s collegiate and alumnae chapters and Honor Ring recipients.

Members could opt in to get reminders for the videos that premiered on Facebook. Every video started with a countdown, which heightened anticipation.

National Council also wanted to be mindful of the fact that many members were spending extra time on their computers between working from home and homeschooling their children while still offering opportunities for engagement in the virtual celebration. In addition to the question of how much content to offer—and how much could realistically be created in two months—was the question of how to organize it. Each day followed a consistent schedule that offered both flexibility and opportunities to connect with sisters in creative ways. Mornings offered themed roundup blogs containing summaries of the day’s events; activities to do at home, like downloading a “Be Zetas True” filter for social media photos, taking a guided stretch or workout break, printing out coloring sheets, and listening to a playlist made for ZTA; and Crown & Co. deals. Afternoon and evening sessions included videos to watch simultaneously with sisters across the country. Sisterhood Celebration | Themis Fall 2020

PROGRAMMING State of the Fraternity The State of the Fraternity address was delivered virtually for the first time. National President Alicia Patten Williams (top and right center), Fraternity Housing Corporation President Dinah Jackson Laughery (middle) and ZTA Foundation President Carolyn Hof Carpenter (bottom) each delivered a portion of the speech. Mrs. Williams shared the irony of the fact that the first State of the Fraternity address was delivered in 1970 in Atlanta, Georgia, where Convention 2020 would have taken place. Her remarks provided an overview of the immediate impact of COVID-19 on ZTA and praised Zetas’ authenticity, inclusion and sense of belonging in their response to the pandemic. She emphasized the importance of these factors in the prosperity of the Fraternity, saying, “A biennium is 24 months long. However, the last four months of this biennium have been and will continue to be essential to our future.” Mrs. Laughery spoke about the importance of creating an inclusive environment in every chapter and the housing corporation’s commitment to ensure safety in each facility. Foundation President Carolyn Hof Carpenter promised the Foundation would continue to provide relevant programming and fund scholarships, both of which would be needed as members returned to campus.

behind the scenes Speakers and presenters for the virtual Sisterhood Celebration relied on more than just wi-fi. Above is a glimpse into Mrs. Williams’ setup, complete with a light ring.

Lindsay Boccardo Lindsay Boccardo (right) graciously agreed to host her session, “Better Together: Leading Through Listening,” virtually. After an opening and introduction from members of the Inclusion Committee, Lindsay spoke about the importance of listening in leadership, the power of belonging, and how to be brave in relationships. Members responded in the comments of the video to questions and prompts from Lindsay. Chapter President Morgan Keller, (Iota Theta, Georgia Institute of Technology) commented, “This was awesome!! I feel encouraged

and empowered to keep serving my chapter!” In her own comments on the video, Lindsay said, “Being heard is so close to being loved, that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable!”

OUTSTANDING ALUMNA INTERVIEW In lieu of the traditional speech from the Outstanding Alumna, Mrs. Carpenter sat down with U.S. Air Force Colonel Leslie Stufft Knight MD (left) for a lighthearted interview. Viewers learned about Leslie’s first ZTA Convention as well as her military career, family, Noble Leadership Style (Strategic Thinker) and future plans. To learn more about Leslie, read her profile in the summer 2020 issue of Themis and check out the News section of the ZTA website.

IO turned into Crown Control headquarters, where staff coordinated meetings and facilitated the election of National Council 2020-2022 (below).

There was something deeply beautiful about this particular event. It didn’t matter if you could take off of work to go, had enough money to travel, or had a family you couldn’t leave. All that was required was internet access and a will to connect. There was no technical “reason” for anyone to attend (aside from voting). The only explanation for “being there” was the only one that should ever be needed—that you’re a Zeta and you cared to engage.

BUSINESS MEETINGS By tradition, the Convention experience has grown to include guest speakers, workshops, meals and celebrations. However, the Constitution & Bylaws of Zeta Tau Alpha require only that the International Convention conduct the legislative business of the Fraternity. Typically, Convention includes three formal Business Meetings. As part of the transition to a virtual experience, the Fraternity conducted just one Business Meeting online on Saturday, June 27. The ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation also held its biennial meeting and election of officers virtually on Friday, June 26. Aside from the Q&A session with Lindsay Boccardo, the Business Meetings were the only part of the virtual Sisterhood Celebration for which members had to register in advance. Registration identified the members of the official Convention body, who could vote for the new National Council. They also confirmed the Official Delegates of the 166 collegiate chapters who are member associations who could vote at the FHC meeting.

Although the voting took place via a secure platform, the tellers still had to verify that everyone who voted met all the eligibility criteria. All members in good standing may attend the traditional in-person Convention Fraternity Business Meetings each biennium; this year, 676 members attended virtually, including the 458 women who made up the voting body. A total of 371 women attended the FHC meeting. Although the virtual Sisterhood Celebration wasn’t the Convention anyone expected it would be in January, it certainly filled members’ ZTA buckets. It was a time to strengthen the bonds of sisterhood from afar, celebrate achievements and learn something new. This experience was one that volunteers, members and International Office staff are certain to remember for decades to come.

Sure, it was a remixed way to do everything, and we weren’t able to celebrate exactly as expected; but there was still A LOT in those 96 hours, and it was all executed with such dedication. There was a tone of humility and distant camaraderie knowing that everyone was just sitting at home looking at their screens, all seeking our organization in the same way. The fear of missing out couldn’t exist, because everyone could “attend.” The emphasis on real conversations, firm stances with loving language on current events, a commitment to strive to be and do better, willingness to give back, and an encouragement to build each other up is all part of the very essence of our organization. These actions make up our group’s fundamental qualities—the DNA of ZTA, if you will—and I felt they were emphasized even more this year. No one sat in those seats with chair covers, but I do believe we all sat with a deeper appreciation for what we are part of. The friendship circle extended across time zones, generations and bandwidths. There were no nametags, just sisters who bonded regardless of roles or experience. Although revised, the virtual Sisterhood Celebration was INCREDIBLE.

2020-2022

NATIONAL COUNCIL

During the virtual Sisterhood Celebration, Official Delegates used a secure, online voting process to elect the new National Council for 2020-2022. While the virtual celebration was unique and technically amazing, none of us were able to actually see all nine members on our screens. If you don’t personally know them or if you’ve never met a member of National Council, you might wonder: Do they live at International Office? No; currently, they may feel as though they live inside a Zoom screen, but they actually live in six different states, from Pennsylvania to Texas, and they were initiated at nine different chapters.

Do they get paid? Only in (currently virtual) hugs and sisterhood. They are dedicated, committed and loyal volunteers who gave many years to ZTA in multiple roles prior to being elected to National Council. Is ZTA work all they do? No, they manage to squeeze more into 24 hours than most of us. They have successful and rewarding careers, volunteer commitments, families they love to spend time with, and collectively, 15 children, five dogs, three cats, two fish, and one guinea pig. We’re happy to introduce you to all nine, tell you about their responsibilities and share their Noble Leadership Style and some thoughts from each of them.

I de-stress by listening to books on Audible, cleaning and getting hugs from my kids. I try to build in time each day for a walk with them. It gives me something to look forward to and helps make up for the steps I’ve lost while working from home.

My first job was being a gymnastics counselor at YMCA camp. Seeing the Olympics in person, especially the gymnastics competition, is on my bucket list. I enjoy my family vacations on Tablerock Lake and spending the holidays together, filling our house with the wonderful smells of great cooking.

The book that has most influenced me is “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison. I read it in high school. It helped me see how people have such different perspectives. What may seem wonderful to one person may be hurtful to someone else.

BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE WITH DATA By Karoline Park, Collegiate Services Manager

Collected since 2016, data from the annual Membership Survey—yes, data—helps tell the fascinating stories behind ZTA chapters. Using this technology, the support of the Fraternity and their own creative flair, chapters across the country use the Membership Survey to learn from the past and build for the future. These four chapters shared insight into how they improved their scores in the areas of Belonging, Being Rather than Seeming, Seeking Understanding that We Might Gain True Wisdom, and Risk Reduction* and how it inspired them to build a better future for their members and the Fraternity.

BELONGING Culture shift. Two words that mean the world to the women of Alpha Xi Chapter (Indiana University). Over the past few years, Alpha Xi has strived to move from a disconnect between general members and leadership to a culture of care and a place where any member feels she can express her feelings and voice her concerns. Simply put, the women of Alpha Xi want their members to feel like they belong. From 2019 to 2020, the chapter improved its score in Belonging from 3.62 to 4.44 (on a 5.0 scale). President Chloe Wallace and Vice President I/Coordinator of Committees Kier Longest attribute the momentum and shifts in Belonging to the Executive

Committee before them as well as their advisors and previous Leadership Consultants. Chloe shared further, “We’ve worked hard at building open lines of communication between our EC, advisors and general members.” Along with more open communication, Chloe, Kier and the members of EC have taken on one simple tactic that has changed so much for their chapter: listening. “Listening is something we’ve really taken to heart and learned best from our advisors,” Kier said. “And it’s something that has made our members more comfortable sharing their wins, worries and thoughts as it relates to their membership experience.” In addition to listening, Kier and Chloe highlighted their commitment to making chapter programming meaningful and intentional as an important building block. “We spend a great deal of time studying our results,” Chloe explained. “Random programming wasn’t effective, and the Membership Survey has helped us tailor our programming and bring a greater sense of belonging into our sisterhood.” In the virtual age of COVID-19, belonging, open communication and keeping morale/ sisterhood high are a top priority for the leaders of Alpha Xi Chapter.

RISK REDUCTION The women of Upsilon Chapter (University of California, Berkeley) work hard at mitigating and properly handling the many facets of risk reduction. While the Membership Survey covers many different risk reduction issues and concerns, chapter leadership focused on decreasing the chapter’s score in the category of Alcohol Conformity, or the likelihood that a person will drink because others are also drinking. This improved the chapter’s score from 2.8 in 2019 to 2.11 in 2020. President Grace Ochs and Risk Reduction and Education Chairman Haley Stober used the Membership Survey as a starting point. “When our EC took over in the spring, we looked over the results from last year and used that to drive our chapter goals,” Grace shared. “They were helpful in understanding what our members were thinking, especially with topics that aren’t frequently discussed.” As part of building an environment that’s safe for everyone, within and outside of ZTA, the members of Upsilon Chapter have found engaging and impactful ways to approach and discuss difficult risk-related items. From bringing in a speaker to discuss how to administer Narcan to engaging in larger, community-based issues, Grace and Haley are proud of the Berkeley Membership Survey | Themis Fall 2020

Panhellenic community and their chapter for creating a culture of care and a safe space for women. Even though engaging 100% virtually as a chapter eliminates some safety concerns, chapter leadership still feels strongly about continuing the conversation about risk reduction. “Chapter check-ins and an open dialogue about risk-related practices, coupled with sisterhood initiatives, will be vital in continuing our chapter’s success this academic year,” Haley said.

BEING RATHER THAN SEEMING Relationships matter, and with the women of Kappa Rho Chapter (University of South Carolina Upstate), authenticity is at the core of who they are. With 19 active members, Haylee Armstrong, President, and Lauren Hunter, VP I, understand the importance of Being Rather than Seeming and identify their efforts in leadership development and living out the Key Values of Zeta Tau Alpha as the tools that help them thrive as a Mighty Chapter. “Wearing T-shirts isn’t what ZTA is all about,” Haylee emphasized. Being a small chapter isn’t easy, but Haylee and Lauren know that commitment from good leadership makes all the difference. “A strong foundation has been extremely helpful in building a good culture in our chapter,” Lauren said. “It’s doing what you agreed to do. It’s talking to people with respect and being a good leader. Genuine relationships matter, and we really push our members to follow through on that.” To Haylee, Lauren and the members of their Executive Committee, living their truth through their life stories is what’s important and the reason the chapter jumped from 3.6 to 4.3 in the Being Rather than Seeming category. “Using the Membership

Survey results to tell our story during Recruitment is another way we live this notion out,” Haylee shared. “While most won’t understand what it really means until they join, we try to live out our values to the PNMs and show them who we are in an authentic way.” Being their sisters’ keepers rather than simply seeming like they are is the gold standard all 19 members of Kappa Rho live by.

SEEKING UNDERSTANDING THAT WE MIGHT GAIN TRUE WISDOM When thinking back on a piece of programming that has had the most impact on Gamma Xi Chapter (Indiana University of Pennsylvania), President Lexi Treese and VP I Abby Redlich shared that their annual Gamma Xi Day is the event that truly helps their members seek to understand one another better. This day allows each member of the chapter to open herself up to others and learn a little more about the women who call Gamma Xi home. “There is always room to learn more about another person, whether it’s their religion, culture or where they grew up,” Lexi shared. “We cherish this time together so we may truly understand and respect one another.” Understanding and respecting one another has always been a core sentiment for these women, but Lexi and Abby say it’s more important now than it ever has been before due to the virtual setting their campus and chapter now find themselves in. Lexi shared that in years past, the chapter never really focused on the Membership Survey, tackling maybe one Area of Sisterhood or Nine Key Value a year; but now, they take a holistic approach to reviewing their results. In addition to taking a deeper look at their results, the officers both believe the introduction of the Inclusion Chair will continue to push

their chapter in a positive direction. “You can never learn enough about those around you,” Abby said. “And that’s exactly what we aim to do more of in the next year, thanks to our Membership Survey results and the diversity, equity and inclusion resources being shared and created by the Fraternity.” While the coming year may present many challenges and obstacles, the Membership Survey can be an avenue for all collegiate chapters to discover Areas or Values to reshape, set goals for and build on. Whether conducted virtually or socially distanced, using the survey results as a guide for programming is a great place to start. Use it for good, share your stories of belonging, seek to understand others, advocate for what’s right, good and true, and never forget that ZTA is about more than wearing the T-shirt. It’s a place to belong. *The four areas highlighted in this article have the most impact on the overall collegiate experience and a member’s affinity for her membership. Each spring, Zeta Tau Alpha administers the Membership Survey to all collegiate members of the Fraternity. Each chapter must strive to have 75% of their chapter membership complete the survey to meet a criterion of Crown Chapter recognition. The Membership Survey measures the development of ZTA women over time and the impact their membership has made on their overall collegiate experience. Members rate their agreement with a series of behavioral statements on a scale of one (strongly disagree) to five (strongly agree). Any increase or decrease greater than .10 is considered statistically significant.

ZETAS DEMONSTRATING “THE NOBILITY OF SERVING” THROUGH THE ARMED FORCES By Patti Cords Levitte, Archivist, and Susan L. Beard, Archives Committee Chairman

the Pacific Southwestern mixed doubles champion between 19291930. She won many other national titles and toured in the Far East as a professional player, introducing American tennis to Japan and China. Helen retired from tennis after many years of successful competition.

Among ZTA’s most intriguing veterans are Captain Helen Marlowe (Xi Chapter, University of Southern California) and Henrietta Williams (Psi Chapter, University of Washington), two Zetas who dared to break the mold by joining the military to serve their country during World War II. Although they were not widely celebrated, their military service and dedication to ZTA’s values should not be forgotten.

Remaining attached to her Southern California home, Helen went on to work as a film editor at MGM Studios after her tennis career. Like many people in her generation, she felt called to serve, so she joined the U.S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve in 1943, a decision she described as simple. She later reflected on her graduation day, “Someone was pinning two little gold bars on my shoulders, and I realized with emotions I have never known before that I was a commissioned officer in the finest fighting force in the

HELEN MARLOWE Helen was a native Californian who graduated from Hollywood High School. By the time she started college in 1929, she was ranked in the top 15 women’s tennis players nationally. She was initiated at Xi Chapter in 1931 and quickly became a very prominent sorority woman on campus known for her athletic skill and her peppy personality. She and her sister Mercedes, a Phi Mu, were the National U.S. Lawn Tennis Association Junior Women’s Doubles Champions in 1930. Helen also reigned as the Girls’ National Hard Court tennis champion and

world—a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps … it was the proudest moment of my life.” Helen served as an instructor in chemical warfare at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, for most of WW II. She requested a transfer back to California in 1946, after the official end of fighting, so she could be closer to her family and was stationed at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California. She appeared to be on a career track with the Marines, having risen to the rank of captain. Sadly, her life was cut short during a chemical training accident in 1946, and she was hospitalized until her passing in 1947. Helen is the only sister reported to have died in the line of service to the country during that time.

HENRIETTA WILLIAMS Henrietta Williams pledged ZTA in 1938 at the University of Washington. She originally intended to study clothing design but changed her course of study to focus on drafting and engineering, which would prove useful in her war service. As a member of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC), or a Wac, she served as a crew member on a specific C-47 and as an instructor for male pilots flying in the China-Burma-India theater. She was the only Wac with flying status in that theater of war, flying on over 25 missions where meeting enemy aircraft was a realistic possibility and in total flew on more than 100 missions. She was the first enlisted Wac to set foot in China and the first woman in the CBI theater to receive the Air Medal for meritorious service in aerial flight. She also had the pleasant surprise and distinct honor of receiving the Legion of Merit award in 1945 during her service in China. While there, she was also invited to meet with General Chiang Kai-shek and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the leaders of the Republic of China. Although her war service was intense and full of experiences she could never have at home, Henrietta never let ZTA get too far from her thoughts.

In the winter 1946 issue of Themis, she wrote, “Mother forwarded my Themis to me all the time I was overseas. I can’t tell you how happy I was to receive those copies, as they were my only contact with my old life. Although there were many miles separating me from Zeta, my Themis kept me informed of all the latest activities. There were four sororities represented in our WAC company in India, and we spent a great deal of our spare time comparing college days.” Henrietta retired from the military after the war and lived a quiet life until she passed away in Colorado in 1998. ZTA is proud of all the members who have served and currently serve in the United States’ armed forces. Helen and Henrietta’s service helped pave the way for other women to follow in their footsteps, like Margaret Brewer, the first female general in the U.S. Marine Corps, United States Air Force Colonel Leslie Stufft Knight MD, the 2020 Outstanding Alumna, and countless other dedicated members who have bravely stepped up to serve and exemplify “the nobility of serving.”

2020 THEMIS READER SURVEY RESULTS By Ashley Sherman, Sr. Director of Communication

ZTA has published Themis magazine continuously since 1903. As an official record of Zeta Tau Alpha’s sisterhood, it’s important that its content reflect the organization’s membership and the current happenings within it. To ensure its continued longevity, it’s equally important for it to be a publication that sisters actually want to read. That’s why ZTA emailed a survey to all members in early May 2020 to get valuable input directly from Themis readers. More than 3,600 sisters responded to the survey, providing great insight that will help shape future Themis content. To further evaluate and guide magazine content, ZTA also created a Themis Editorial Task Force in April 2020. The seven members of the task force were selected from more than 50 applicants to represent Zetas of varying ages, locations, chapter sizes and levels of involvement to give feedback, suggestions and insight into what the larger sisterhood may want and need to read within the magazine. This task force will use the responses from this survey to help guide suggestions moving forward. Thank you to all the sisters who took the survey and shared their thoughts. To the right is a snapshot of what ZTA learned.

REMEMBERING

Leah Fields Ozment By Christy Marx Barber, Staff Writer “She was one of the funniest people I knew.” “She was quick-witted and absolutely hilarious.” “She was always smiling.” ZTA sisters’ memories of Leah Fields Ozment are universally full of laughter. She stole the show in this summer’s virtual Sisterhood Celebration Honor Ring recipient video, wearing a tiara, pearls, a brooch and long, white gloves and doing the “royal wave” with her ring on her pinky (below). On Aug. 18, the dedicated Fraternity Housing Corporation Vice President Construction passed away at age 53 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, due to complications from COVID-19. “She had a way of making everything all better,” said Julia Marthaler Hill, former National President and current FHC Vice President Design. “No matter what mood I was in, Leah could make me laugh.”

Mrs. Ozment served Nu Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha House Corporation as president from 1999 to 2005 and treasurer from 2006 to 2008. Mrs. Hill was FHC President when she worked with Mrs. Ozment on the construction of the new chapter house for Nu Chapter. “That role gave her the courage and confidence to recognize her ability to manage major projects,” Mrs. Hill said. Former Vice President Collegiate II Lynn Compton Chapman was a Province President when she forged her friendship with Mrs. Ozment. She will remember her sister as exemplifying ZTA’s Key Values of Love, Humility and Loyalty & Commitment. “Leah loved generously and devoted so much of herself to her family, her friends and her extended circle, and I was lucky to be one of those friends,” Mrs. Chapman said. “She

always made sure all the details were taken care of and everyone had what they needed. She exemplified what it means to commit, show up, do the hard things and give unselfishly.” Mrs. Ozment oversaw new construction and major renovations at large universities, including University of Florida and The Ohio State University and organized projects still in progress at University of Georgia, University of Michigan, and other schools. “She approached all her projects with great love and care,” said FHC President Dinah Jackson Laughery. “Her dedication provided beautiful homes for hundreds of ZTA collegians. Leah was a cherished member of our board and a wonderful friend and sister.” She was also an advisor to Nu Chapter and active in the Tuscaloosa, AL Alumnae Chapter. Mrs. Ozment is survived by her husband, Thomas Eugene Ozment Jr.; daughters, Sally Faulkner Ozment and Mary Allison Ozment; father, Samuel “Bo” Fields; and sister Stephanie Fields White. She was preceded in death by her mother, Patricia Poole Fields, and sister Kimberly Fields Murphy.

In 1994, The Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation created the Founders Club to honor alumnae and collegiate chapters and individuals that donate $10,000 or more during the biennium. At Convention 1994, 15 chapters received Founders Club plaques. Over the last 26 years, the number of chapters and individuals qualifying for this award has multiplied, reaching 145 in 2020. As donations grew over the years, the Foundation created additional Founders Club levels. Congratulations to these chapters and individuals whose contributions during the 2018-2020 biennium helped fund important educational and leadership programming, academic scholarships and philanthropic projects. The Foundation recognized these recipients during ZTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtual Sisterhood Celebration. Those interested in contributing to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation may do so online at give.zetataualpha.org.
