From Where I Sit You may have noticed already this issue of Themis is particularly pretty in pink. In fact, as we developed it, we began to call it “Pink Themis.” It is the inaugural Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation issue of Themis, a concept that will become an annual winter tradition. We know our members associate pink with the Foundation, so it seemed appropriate to paint these pages in pink. This is a landmark year for Zeta Tau Alpha as we continue to celebrate the Fraternity’s 125th anniversary. It’s also a landmark year for the Foundation, chartered 70 years ago in 1954. Being able to recognize the 70-year success of the Foundation over 52 pages makes me so proud. I love a good celebration, and this issue celebrates our volunteers, honors our scholarship recipients and publicly thanks everyone who supported the Foundation over the past fiscal year. Every week, a packet from International Office arrives on my doorstep. It is filled with letters for me to sign and it is one of the highlights of my week. Signing these letters and writing notes of thanks to sisters who made generous donations to the Foundation brings me joy. I love seeing familiar names of longtime donors and National Officers I have known for years, as well as learning about new donors I have yet to meet. Without the support of our sisters, the work of the Foundation simply could not happen. Donor dollars sponsor the scholarship program, support Think Pink® initiatives, finance breast cancer research and underwrite important educational and leadership programs for the Fraternity. Our volunteers are equally important as they staff survivor booths at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® walks, hand out pink ribbons at NFL Crucial Catch games and conduct educational programming workshops. Zeta Tau Alpha is incredibly fortunate our members feel so passionately about giving back to our sisterhood. Just as I look forward to those weekly packets of letters, I have looked forward to this “Pink Themis.” It is a nod to our signature Think Pink® campaign, but, like the Foundation itself, the issue is multi-faceted and covers a wide range of Foundation-focused topics. As you read through it, you will hear from donors about why they give, from scholarship recipients about how donations helped them attain educational goals, and from our board about the process of rebranding our Think Pink® logo and revamping our Heritage Society. On behalf of the Foundation board, I thank you for your support of our sisterhood through your gifts, your talents and your time. Enjoy this printed celebration and know that every dollar donated and every hour spent volunteering matters and makes a difference.

DAY OF GIVING 2023

Sisterhood is Timeless By Christy Marx Barber, Staff Writer With a theme of Sisterhood is Timeless, the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation stretched its fourth annual Day of Giving into 1 day and 25 hours to celebrate ZTA’s 125th anniversary. From September through October, and specifically from 8 a.m. Oct. 13 to 9 a.m. Oct. 15, the Foundation received $403,418 from 2,075 donations to support scholarships, educational programming, leadership training and philanthropy efforts. That success included donations from 62 sisters who chose to sponsor

the weekend’s events. In keeping with the timeless premise, the generosity of three of those sponsors confirmed time spent as a collegian does not define the ZTA experience. Their donations were proof ZTA is not just for four years--or less--in college, but for life. Bridget Denise Higginbotham (Eta Omega Chapter, Louisiana State University at Shreveport) became a 125th Trustee. Although she pledged as a junior in 1992 and her chapter closed in 2009, Bridget has always believed in the mission of ZTA. She served as a Province

[1] Zetas converged on Longwood University to celebrate ZTA's 125th anniversary. [2] Sisters enjoyed fun moments together behind the scenes during Late Night with ZTA. [3] Trustees toured local churches attended by Founders as part of their sponsorship. [4] The three Presidents went live from Longwood to bring members closer to the action. 1

President from 2013 to 2019 and is now an Area Housing Coordinator. “Being a Province President drew me in to see what the Foundation does for our members,” she said. “I set a goal after my first year to fund a recognition scholarship for the chapters in the province on smaller campuses. They don’t always have designated scholarships and I was fortunate to be able to contribute.” She chose to become a Trustee to continue to fund scholarships and programming. “Our programming is very in tune with real life on so many campuses,” she said. “Foundation funding helps our programming stay current as a useful tool for our chapters.” Dr. Sara Roper had no ZTA collegiate experience as an undergraduate at Xavier University. But she witnessed ZTA sisterhood as the daughter of a longtime national volunteer, Karen Rose Roper (Iota Alpha Chapter, Robert Morris University). In 2017, the same year her

2 mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, Sara became an alumna initiate of Iota Alpha. “I had a general idea of the bonds of sisterhood. Then during my mom’s treatment, she had boxes of notes and cards from her sisters,” Sara recalled. “During any big life crisis, you learn who will show up for you, and Zetas showed up for my mom.” Now a practicing OB/GYN, Sara chose to sponsor the Day of Giving video about service in honor of her mother. “I am at a time in my career when I could make a commitment to an organization that means so much to my mom,” she

4 said. “She is proud of the Foundation’s funding of an artificial intelligence project where researchers can pivot their knowledge and apply it to potentially save lives.” Katerina Vaitkus experienced just two years of ZTA collegiate life before her chapter (Iota Zeta, University of New Mexico) closed. “Living in the house was like home for me; my sisters were truly my family,” she said. “After the chapter closed, I thought if ZTA can bring me that kind of feeling, I want to stay involved.”

After serving in multiple alumnae chapter offices, Katerina is in her third term as a District President. She pays dues to every chapter in her district. “I believe a National Officer should be supportive of the local chapters and model that behavior for the members,” she said. In becoming a Day of Giving First-Time Donor Sponsor, she hoped to show that “even a small amount gives back to the Fraternity. In college, I didn’t know ZTA had scholarships. But now I know every gift helps to make them possible.” A new Day of Giving option proved Katerina’s point. E-cards allowed members to send Founders’ Day greetings by email to special sisters for just $5 each, and that effort raised $9,086. All gifts made on the Day of Giving are undesignated so the Foundation can direct the funds to the most essential educational programming needs and the financial needs of our members in the 2023-2024 academic year and in the future.

NEW RIBBON. NEW LOGO. SAME MISSION By Hannah Newman, Contributing Writer

Zeta Tau Alpha members have given out over 25 million Think Pink® ribbons and believe the fight for positive change in breast health is strongest when sisters unite. The ZTA Foundation’s breast cancer education and awareness efforts have engaged the entire ZTA membership. In celebration of over 30 years supporting those efforts, the Foundation began working on a Think Pink brand refresh in August 2022 with the goal of revealing the new brand at Summer Leadership Academy in 2023. “As with every corporate brand, sometimes it’s just time for a refresh,” said Foundation Vice President of Philanthropy Marlene Dunbar Conrad. “The celebration of our 30th year lent itself to an update of our Think Pink brand.” The Foundation team worked closely with other ZTA leaders at every level to ensure the new design not only represented the brand accurately, but also appealed to chapters nationwide. Involving members from many facets of ZTA in this project was important to creating a significant and personable design.

Themis Winter 2024 | Philanthropy

The collaboration and process of creating the updated logo was extremely thorough. ZTA contracted with a branding company to review the history of Think Pink and research breast cancer ribbons used by other organizations. After many discussions about the desired look, feel and imagery, the firm created three logo concepts for ZTA to present to a focus group. The Vice Presidents Collegiate and Alumnae recommended women for the focus group who would provide ZTA representation from across the country and different viewpoints from all ages as the team continued to refine the logo. At this point, National Council, the boards of the Foundation and Fraternity Housing Corporation and ZTA’s Communication Department also weighed in. “Opinions were varied, but we knew from the feedback from so many different audiences that we were headed in the right direction for the new look,” said Mrs. Conrad. After analyzing the focus group information and implementing suggestions, the Foundation finalized the logo.

“Throughout the process, we gave a lot of consideration to choosing the new shades of pink, the updated font and especially the ribbon itself. We wanted a fresh look, one that would still showcase Zeta Tau Alpha and continue to resonate with all generations of Zetas,” said Mrs. Conrad. The new ribbon shape is a dramatic shift from the ribbon shapes of previous years. The concept of “moving forward” was important to the updated brand. The dynamic movement of the new ribbon helps to convey that message, not only in the logo, but also across social, digital and print media. Although the Foundation has updated the branded ribbon graphic, ZTA members will continue to hand out the traditional hot pink ribbons at events. The goal of the Think Pink campaign also remains unchanged. “In the last 30-plus years of seeing our ZTA sisters, friends and family members fight breast cancer, we’ve learned that every fight and story is personal and unique,” said Mrs. Conrad. “The updated logo recognizes each fighter’s story and reflects our continued passion and determination to keep moving forward in the fight.”

Eta Theta 50th Anniversary Endowed Scholarship

Alumnae of Eta Theta Chapter (Missouri University of Science and Technology) chose to honor their chapter's first 50 years by funding an endowed scholarship as a gift that assures at least one chapter member will receive a scholarship every academic year into the future. In April 2023, at their 50th anniversary celebration, alumnae organizers announced they had not only reached the $50,000 minimum required to fund the scholarship but also nearly doubled it. Eta Theta alumnae, including long-time and first-time givers, made 143 donations ranging from $25 to $10,000. Seven alumnae used their employers' matching gifts program to account for nearly $15,000 of their total. The alumnae will designate the criteria for recipients starting in the 2024-2025 academic year. The amount of the scholarship will be based on the rolling rate of return of principal over a rolling five-year period.

Thank You! "I wanted to write you all and express my deepest thanks. I have put my heart and soul into this organization and I have gotten so much back. I am so honored to have been awarded the Achievement Scholarship from you all. It will have a huge impact on me, as I lost my father last year to cancer and it made paying for school much harder. Even through overcoming adversity such as the loss of a parent, my sisters were there for me. Without the support I had from ZTA and the love I felt from advisors, mentors, etc., I don’t know how I would have been so strong. I am so grateful this organization provided me with the leadership experience it did. Now in interviews and internships, people are so impressed by all ZTA has done for me. I look forward to continuing to make ZTA proud as a collegian and eventually an alumna. Thank you for everything, my mom and I appreciate it greatly!"

ENSURING ZTA IS FOREVER By Liv Gardner, Contributing Writer

From the moment a new member joins Zeta Tau Alpha, she hears countless stories from collegians and alumnae about how ZTA extends beyond just four years in college. ZTA regularly shares photos and stories in Themis and on social media of pledge classes on vacations together, or sisters playing matchmaker or becoming godmothers for sisters’ children long after Recruitment, Initiation and graduation. Zeta Love and devotion truly do last a lifetime. Some members assure their love carries on through their membership in the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation’s Heritage Society. Those members have prepared now for a future gift to the Foundation through provisions made within their will or estate planning. The bequest allows them to retain control of their assets during their lifetime and allocate them toward their passions. It also allows sisters to leave a major gift that may not have been possible during their lifetime. Charitable gifts may be exempt from estate taxes, allowing more of the gift to come directly to the Foundation. “Planned giving ensures a consistent and long-term source of funding to support the work of our sisterhood,” said Foundation Vice President of Alumnae Development Cynthia Byars Courtney. “The Heritage Society has been in existence for decades. We have given it a new look with a refreshed logo. We have also revised our tracking systems to better support our sisters who include ZTA in their estate planning.”

20 Themis Winter 2024 | Heritage Society

As a financial professional, Foundation Special Events Coordinator Melissa Still knows the impact of planned giving. “A planned gift becomes a legacy you can leave to ZTA to help further its mission for decades to come,” Melissa said. “Donors should be sure to share their intentions for their estate with family, professional financial and legal advisors.” Mardee Coyle Austin, former District President and current Area Housing Coordinator for the Fraternity Housing Corporation, is a member of the Heritage Society. “I look at it as something similar to the yearly giving that we already contribute to the Foundation, but in a more long-term and planned way,” Mardee said. “My husband and I wanted to outline what happens to our estate and we both recognized how much ZTA means to me. We wanted to put it in a more formal way so that when we are gone, someone has everything they need to ensure those gifts can continue to happen.” ZTA has played a role in every chapter of Mardee’s life since her initiation into Zeta Xi Chapter at Georgia Southern University in 1994. From a Big Sister who set her up with her husband, to an alumnae chapter that helped her find her home in a new city, to the advisors who pushed her to volunteer for national offices, Zetas have been part of her big moments. Sharing Mardee’s love for the sisterhood is Barbara Townsend Cromwell, a longtime volunteer of the Fraternity who was initiated into

Gamma Beta Chapter at Washington College in 1952. Barbara, who just celebrated her 90th birthday, looks back on her days spent as a ZTA collegiate member fondly, remembering winning the campus Scholarship Cup and attending Zeta Days in Annapolis after her graduation. “Zeta was always important to me,” said Barbara. “I don’t travel too much anymore, but there would be times years ago where my husband and I would leave Maryland and meet other Zetas by chance in different states.” This invisible web of connection that binds sisters together across the country is what kept Barbara coming back to Fraternity and alumnae events. Through her time spent with fellow sisters, she decided she wanted to help contribute to future sisters through a gift allocated in the provisions of her will. “I’ve always contributed to ZTA and Kappa Alpha Order in memory of my husband, and this was a way for me to continue giving to something that has always meant the world to me even after I’m gone,” she said.

HOW CAN I HELP? If you would like more information on how you can help support the Foundation, contact the ZTA Foundation at ztafoundation@zetataualpha.org. We encourage sisters to consult their estate planning professional to determine the best course of action for their individual situation.

GIVING BACK TO GROW FUTURE ZTA LEADERS By Madeleine Willis, Contributing Writer

Service & Philanthropy is one of Zeta Tau Alpha’s Nine Key Values. The importance of this Value is reflected in the lives of ZTA Foundation donors Sarah Duvall Gilstrap, Kori Sosnowy Voorhees and Erin Dickey Niebylski. As alumnae, Sarah, Kori and Erin have dedicated their time and talent to the Fraternity and their treasure to the Foundation. To each of them, being a donor lets them give back to a beloved and valued community that continues to enrich the lives of women around the country.

SARAH DUVALL GILSTRAP Mu Chapter Drury University Sarah (Mu Chapter, Drury University) believes her donations to the Foundation will help propel the organization forward. She made her most recent donation as a 125th Trustee as part of the Day of Giving. “It was a celebration of service, of

22 Themis Winter 2024 | Donor Feature

giving of ourselves and giving back to our Founders,” Sarah said of her contribution. “That’s what our Founders stood for.” Sarah began her ZTA journey at Mu Chapter where she was Vice President II/New Member Coordinator. She served as District President XVIII-B in Colorado from 2017 to 2023 before moving to Missouri, where she now serves as District President XVII-A.

KORI SOSNOWY VOORHEES Psi Chapter University of Washington For Kori, an alumna of Psi Chapter (University of Washington), giving back to ZTA has been a “no-brainer” for 20 years. She has volunteered as a collegiate chapter advisor, an alumnae chapter officer and member of the State Reference Committee, and truly believes in the mission of ZTA Foundation.


Erin Dickey Niebylski Kori hopes her donations can provide great experiences for others like those she has enjoyed. “I’m very thankful for my ZTA experiences,” Kori said. “Donating is just a way for me to give back to the Fraternity that has given me so much.”

ERIN DICKEY NIEBYLSKI Beta Phi Chapter Michigan State University Erin, an alumna of Beta Phi Chapter (Michigan State University) received an achievement scholarship as an undergraduate. After traveling as a Leadership Consultant for ZTA, she chose a career in higher education administration and received a Founders Grant for graduate school. “The LC experience very much shaped my career,” Erin said, “and then the scholarships allowed me to pay for it.”

She joined the Foundation’s Maud Squad in 2017, making monthly donations of $9 since then. “Being a donor allows me to help just as alumnae before me donated so I could receive those scholarships.” Erin has also given her time as a collegiate chapter advisor and member of the Chapter Financial Management Committee. For their volunteer efforts, these three women have all received the Fraternity’s highest individual award, the Honor Ring. In addition to giving their time, they show their loyalty with monetary donations to the organization they know and trust and has shaped who they are today. “When you want to invest in something, invest where you know the people and where you can trust the people,” Sarah said. “I know what the Foundation does and how they make decisions. I know they are going to be good stewards of my funds.”
