ZTA Convention 2016 | Program Book by Haleigh Castino

T H E C R E E D O F Z E TA TA U A L P H A To realize that within our grasp, in Zeta Tau Alpha, lies the opportunity to learn those things which will ever enrich and ennoble our lives; to be true to ourselves, and to those within and without our circle; to think in terms of all mankind and our service in the world; to be steadfast, strong, and clean of heart and mind, remembering that since the thought is father to the deed, only that which we would have manifested in our experience should be entertained in thought; to find satisfaction in being, rather than seeming, thus strengthening in us the higher qualities of the spirit; to prepare for service and learn the nobility of serving, thereby earning the right to be served; to seek understanding that we might gain true wisdom; to look for the good in everyone; to see beauty, with its enriching influence; to be humble in success, and without bitterness in defeat; to have the welfare and harmony of the Fraternity at heart, striving ever to make our lives a symphony of high ideals, devotion to the Right, the Good, and the True, without a discordant note; remembering always that the foundation precept of Zeta Tau Alpha was Love, “the greatest of all things.” – Shirley Kreasan Strout

H I STO R Y O F Z TA C O N V E N T I O N This year marks the 53nd time ZTA has gathered in the summer for our National Convention. The very first one was held in 1903, in Farmville, Virginia, and it was the first (and last) to be held in a member’s home. Our Conventions have only been interrupted twice, for both World Wars. The longest we’ve gone between Conventions was five years, due to WWII. We’ve met twice in Canada, twice on an island, multiple times on the West Coast, and even a few times in the Northeast. ZTA gathered at the height of the Great Depression in 1933, and even survived a tornado outbreak at the 1978 Convention! No matter where we meet, Convention is where we chart the course for the next biennium. Because you are here at Convention 2016 in Phoenix, YOU are now a part of ZTA history!

T H E O U TSTA N D I N G A L U M N A AWA R D The Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation introduced the Outstanding Alumna Award at Convention 1982 in Atlanta to recognize ZTA alumnae who have become outstanding leaders in their chosen professions, demonstrated significant accomplishments and made notable contributions to society. Many of the past recipients have also served the Fraternity in their post-collegiate years, but that is not a requirement for the award. These women serve as role models for all members of Zeta Tau Alpha, and their informative and inspiring speeches are highlights of our biennial Convention.
