FALL RECAP Epsilon kicked off the fall by welcoming 126 girls to our sisterhood after a long week of recruitment! For PC ‘18, the fall was full of Coke dates with fraternity pledges, meeting their new “bigs” and families, functions, and so many sweet memories made at their new home on Oakland. We were so blessed to initiate PC ‘18 into the sisterhood of Zeta Tau Alpha in October – all 126 of them! We are looking forward to making even more memories this spring.

A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT My name is Madison Anderson, and it is an honor to serve Zeta Tau Alpha Epsilon as chapter president for 2019. Epsilon means the world to me! The women of this chapter have helped me in more ways than I can begin to describe. They’ve challenged me, laughed with me, cried with me, and have made the past three years an incredible time. It’s such a humbling opportunity to lead a chapter like Epsilon and to carry on the amazing legacy that is over 100 years strong. Of course, I don’t do this job alone. I have a stellar Executive Council that leads this chapter alongside me, along with our House Mom Laurie, our many advisors, and our countless supportive alumnae. This year, as a chapter, we are hoping to reach a spring GPA goal of 3.55, meet the Crown Chapter criteria, and significantly increase the amount of money raised for our philanthropy. Executive Council, and I can’t wait to dive deeper into the semester and see what amazing things Epsilon can accomplish! Thank you all for supporting your daughters and our chapter as a whole. None of us would be here today without you. ZLAM, Madison Anderson
