FROM WHERE I SIT Rewind to 2016: I was in Phoenix for Convention and the temperature was in the triple digits. As my chapter’s Alternate Delegate, I got to carry the Beta Delta Chapter flag during the processional and, for the first time, see how big ZTA is. Just a sophomore, I couldn’t imagine how Zetas outside of Oxford, Ohio, could compare to my Beta Delta sisters, but I met some of the more than 800 women in attendance who were passionate, driven leaders striving to make our beloved Zeta Tau Alpha better every day. It was then I knew I wanted to be my chapter’s President. Fast forward to NLC 2017 in Indianapolis. Spring 2017 was hard for me. A month into my presidency, a risk management issue shook my chapter and took the air out of my lungs. We had to come to terms with the fact that we weren’t doing the right thing; we weren’t living our values. We dug our heels in and got to work. At the end of the semester, we looked back and were proud of what we had accomplished and the strides we had made to bring our chapter culture in line with ZTA’s policies and expectations. But, I’ll be honest, I was tired. I was tired from staying up writing risk management plans most nights; I was tired of getting a stomach ache every time we held a social event; and I was sad that this leadership position I had wanted so badly made me so tired. NLC came at the perfect time. I worked alongside a group of 10 women and a mentor who pushed me to think about leadership differently. After that weekend, I left feeling refreshed, reactivated, and ready to listen, lead and take on the last semester of my presidency. At that point, I knew I would apply to serve as a Leadership Consultant; I wanted the opportunity to leave other women feeling the way I felt. When I arrived at Convention 2018, I was in a completely different place in my ZTA leadership experience. As a Leadership Consultant, I was proud to be a representative of the Fraternity in a new way. Seeing collegiate women experience the same awe at the breadth of ZTA that I had experienced two years before confirmed that I was exactly where I was supposed to be, showcasing my loyalty for our Fraternity. To me, being Ever Loyal is outgoing President Carolyn Hof Carpenter delivering the State of the Fraternity address, engaging a call to arms, demanding the best from our sisters in a time when fraternity and sorority members must prove their place on campus. It’s incoming President Alicia Patten Williams accepting the Purple of the Fraternity, agreeing to tackle the challenges that will be thrown her way and leading us with grace and confidence through the next biennium. It’s my fellow LC sisters, ready to hear the call and land wherever the Fraternity needs them, using servant hearts to leave each ZTA chapter better than they found it. It’s me, standing on the Convention stage after receiving the Louise Kettler Helper Memorial Award with former winners Vice President Collegiate III Shannon Ferguson, Alyssa Baker Godwin and Alison Colangelo, reflecting on the experiences that challenged us as leaders and left us better because of them. From where I sit, I see a Fraternity that is evolving and empowering leaders to make positive change. I’m already looking forward to attending Convention 2020 to see what strides our organization has made and the collegiate and alumnae leaders who made it possible. See you in Atlanta!

FEATURES COVER STORY Convention 2018 More than 900 Ever Loyal Zetas gathered in Orlando, Florida, for four days in June to enjoy beloved traditions, recognize individual and chapter achievements, and celebrate sisterhood. 4 Meet the 2018–2019 Leadership Consultants In August, 22 women began visiting collegiate chapters to assist with chapter operations, leadership
development, officer education and more. They answered a few questions to help Zetas across the country get to know them. 26 Creating change on campus Thanks to the Generation Rx University Implementation Grant, a team of four pharmacy students, one nursing student and a faculty mentor (four of whom are Zetas) brought safe medication education to their peers at Purdue University. The ZTA Foundation is one of the partner organizations responsible for the grant. 32

A Zeta True
@ztalinfield Our sisters are so happy to be back together! #ZTAisHome #WEareZTA
By Carla Martin Cobb, Theta Tau Chapter, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill “Are you still doing ZTA?” they ask. And I enthusiastically reply, “Yes!” I remain a Zeta True because ZTA has given me sisters that have been there for me at every turn of the last 24 years. From providing pep talks when I changed my major to instilling confidence when I started my own company; from nursing my broken heart with hugs and junk food after “The One” got away to standing with me at a ZTA candlelight after I exchanged vows with “The Real One;” from having dance-offs in the ZTA house while we got ready for date parties in college to sharing late-night, cackle-inducing texts with sisters from California to the Carolinas today. Because of truly great ZTA advisors and mentors, the foundation for a lasting sisterhood was made for me. So, why am I still a Zeta True? I owe it to those who paved the way for me to experience this sisterhood, and I want to show every ZTA I advise that there’s a great sisterhood here for her too.

2 · THEMIS · Things We Zeta Love
Founders’ Day Proclamation When nine young women met in secret to found Zeta Tau Alpha, they envisioned a sisterhood that would extend well beyond the Virginia State Female Normal School. Today, we celebrate 120 years of friendships that stretch across the country and around the world.
Dr. May Agness Hopkins represented the Founders’ dream of an expanding sisterhood. She was a charter member of Kappa Chapter (The University of Texas at Austin), the first Grand President not from Alpha Chapter, and the driving force of our second decade.
In addition to celebrating on Oct. 15, we plan to honor our Founders’ vision throughout the 2018–2020 biennium with the theme Be Zetas True. To celebrate our dozen decades, we will highlight 12 Zetas who were authentically true to our founding values.
Dr. Hopkins was elected Grand President in 1908, while she was in medical school. She became a practicing pediatrician and was elected for three more terms. As World War I raged in Europe, she heard the call to treat refugee children at a Red Cross hospital in France. So, 100 years ago, in 1918, she submitted her resignation. But Grand Chapter would not accept it; instead they voted to grant her a leave of absence. She graciously accepted, adding, “May I live to serve you and those I love again.” Four days after arriving in France, Dr. Hopkins found herself treating a boatload of wounded American soldiers rather than refugee children. She told a war correspondent, “over here, … you find out you do the thing you are not sent to do.”
Dr. May Agness Hopkins
Dr. Hopkins personified the nobility of serving that our Founders valued. She thought in terms of all mankind and our service in the world. Throughout her overseas service, she wore a gold ZTA bracelet, a gift from Omicron Chapter (Brenau University), which will be a focal point of our Historical and Educational Center when it opens next year. The bracelet is a reminder to us all to Be Zetas True, just as she was. From nine visionary young women to more than 265,000 initiated members, how fortunate we all are to be a part of this Fraternity. Given under my hand and seal, I proclaim the fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand and eighteen, as our 120th Founders’ Day.

There are many ways to be Ever Loyal to Zeta Tau Alpha, and it may look different to each member at different stages of her life. The variety of ways Zetas hear the call is what makes this sisterhood so strong and unique. Whether it is being a positive role model on campus, participating in alumnae chapter events, spreading breast cancer education and awareness, or helping a sister in a time of need, one thing remains constant for members of every ZTA chapter, regardless of when they were initiated. Being Ever Loyal to the Fraternity means staying true to the values of Zeta Tau Alpha day in and day out. 4 ¡ THEMIS ¡ Convention
More than 900 sisters came together June 27–30, 2018, at the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes, in Florida to honor all the ways members remain Ever Loyal to Zeta Tau Alpha. Attendees enjoyed celebrating the accomplishments of the Fraternity, ZTA Foundation and ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation; learning from Zetas with different perspectives; recognizing the ways individuals and chapters excelled throughout the biennium; and strengthening the bonds of this great sisterhood. Convention · Fall 2018 · 5
Wednesday
Energy was high and the excitement was palpable as Zetas from across the country made their way into the Opening Session of Convention 2018. To kick things off, National President Carolyn Hof Carpenter spoke about how teams bring people together regardless of age or location, and Team Zeta Tau Alpha is no exception. “Every Zeta is on the same team,” she said. She challenged attendees to soak in the team spirit over the next four days as they experienced traditions, recognized achievements and met sisters who play vital roles in our sisterhood. At dinner, Vice President Collegiate II Lynn Compton Chapman, who served as the evening’s toastmistress, acknowledged the academic success of collegiate chapters over the biennium. In addition to the Golden Anniversary Academic Achievement and Margaret Dunkle Hardy Academic Improvement awards (see boxes), the names of the 56 collegiate chapters that achieved commendable status (3.0 GPA) were displayed and the delegates from the 63 chapters that achieved highly commendable status (3.2 GPA or higher) were recognized with certificates.

Mrs. Carpenter then invited the former National Presidents in attendance to join her for the Passing of the Purple, which symbolizes the seamless transition of leadership from one President to another. This ceremony had only occurred twice before, at ZTA’s Centennial Convention in 1998 and at Convention 2008. As each woman held the Purple, she spoke of how the Fraternity heard the call to remain Ever Loyal to ZTA’s Nine Key Values throughout the biennium. Upon taking the Purple, Mrs. Carpenter began the State of the Fraternity and reflected on the challenges facing fraternity/sorority life. She said all Zetas must live ZTA’s values so sorority life can prosper for years to come. “The current climate on university campuses is a call to action,” she said. “We must accept the fact that we are being held to a higher standard than others. We must respond to that challenge by insisting our members understand and reflect our founding principles.” P I C T U R E D O N R I G H T:
[1] Attendees were greeted by Leadership Consultants at the registration desk upon arrival. [2] Set up like a pep rally, the Opening Session included pompoms and a T-shirt cannon. Mrs. Carpenter broke through a ZTA banner to welcome everyone to four days of sisterhood. [3] Delegates from Major Donor chapters that donated $300 or more each year of the biennium received hugs from the ZTA Foundation. [4] Former National Presidents joined Mrs. Carpenter in the Passing of the Purple.
GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
With GPAs of 3.5 or higher, an impressive 10 chapters were in the running for this award, which goes to the chapter with the highest academic average throughout the biennium. Gamma Alpha Chapter (University of Miami) came out on top with a GPA of 3.671. Phi Chapter (Duke University) came in second with a GPA of 3.668.

MARGARET DUNKLE HARDY MOST IMPROVED ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
This award, which is given to the collegiate chapter with the most improved academic average during the biennium, was established in 1982 to honor former National President Nora Nell Hardy Jackson. It is named for her mother, who served as the National Academic Achievement Chairman for more than 20 years. By increasing their GPA from 2.68 to 3.09, Gamma Gamma Chapter (The University of Texas at El Paso) earned this award.

REPEATER AWARD
This award honors the Ever Loyal sister who has attended the most ZTA Conventions. With an incredible 27 Conventions under her belt, Carol Sagner (Beta Chi Chapter, Washington University) took home this prize. Carol, who has never been a National Officer, attends Convention time and time again because she loves gathering with old friends, making new ones and experiencing the joy of ZTA sisterhood. She is an inspiration to members of all ages!

Thursday
The room was packed for the Fraternity Housing Corporation’s historic biennial meeting in which the new board of directors was elected (see pages 14 and 50) and Dinah Jackson Laughery became FHC President, a role her mother, Nora Nell Hardy Jackson, held for 15 years. This marked the first time in ZTA history a mother and daughter have both served as President of a ZTA entity. Later that morning, many beloved traditions, such as the parade of chapter flags, took place during the Opening Business Meeting. Chapters that received Helping Hands awards were recognized (see pages 18–21) and Mrs. Carpenter offered opening remarks.
5
The celebration continued during lunch as attendees honored the 10 retiring FHC board members and thanked them for their 102 years of combined service. Outgoing FHC President Julia Marthaler Hill presented the Outstanding House Association Award to Patti Wilson Morgan, President of the Gamma Alpha Chapter House Association at University of Miami, and Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Laughery presented the Outstanding House Director Award—the only Convention award given to a nonmember—to Bunnie Jones, House Director for Beta Nu Chapter (New Mexico State University). That afternoon, collegians and alumnae attended programming relevant to their roles in ZTA. While the collegians discussed ways to increase a sense of belonging within their chapters, alumnae participated in Behind Happy Faces, which helps women better understand mental health and know how to help a friend in need.
LOUISE KETTLER HELPER MEMORIAL AWARD (COLLEGIATE HONOREE)
To end the day, the delegation celebrated the 115 collegiate chapters that earned Crown Chapter (see page 18). Additionally, four women received Outstanding Advisor Awards for their service as chapter General Advisors: Yuriko Beaman, GA for Kappa Psi (Kutztown University of Pennsylvania); Kery Reinkemyer Webb, GA for Gamma Pi (The University of Georgia); Becky Koltonski Gleason, GA for Lambda Epsilon (Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis); and Elisabeth Smith Marriott, GA for Upsilon (University of California, Berkeley).
This award goes to a collegian whose service and achievements are notable contributions to the progress of the Fraternity and the interfraternal world. Kimberly Brochocki (Beta Delta Chapter, Miami University) faced a major risk management challenge within the first month of her term as chapter President, but she led her chapter through a dramatic shift in planning and implementing social practices. The process she set in place is now used as a model both on her campus and within ZTA.
[1] In their program, collegians shared their thoughts on retaining members and how that impacts recruitment. [2] The board honored Mrs. Hill for her 12 years as FHC President. [3] In the business meeting, chapters that were installed in the past two years received traditional silver baby cups. [4] Zetas gained new ideas from women in other chapters during the collegiate program. [5] The night ended with a bang as sisters enjoyed fireworks by the lake.
P I C T U R E D O N L E F T:
Friday
Before attending the Second Business Meeting, members had the option of attending special breakfasts to mingle with sisters with similar experiences, including one for legacies and one for those who currently do or are interested in volunteering with Making Strides Against Breast CancerÂŽ walks. At the business meeting, three alumnae chapters were recognized with Membership Awards for growth throughout the biennium. The Martin, TN Chapter won first place for 456 percent growth; the Annapolis, MD Chapter took second for 189 percent growth; and the Nashville, TN Chapter came in third with 165 percent growth. Additionally, the Long Beach, CA Alumnae Chapter and Theta Phi Chapter (California State University, Fullerton) took home the Attendance Awards for traveling 12,595 and 9,976 combined miles to Convention, respectively.

Following the ZTA Foundation Luncheon, the delegation once again split for collegiate and alumnae programming. Continuing their discussion from the day before, collegians developed personal recruitment stories and created goals for sharing those stories with others. In the alumnae program, four District Presidents shared tips for successfully recruiting and retaining members throughout the year. That evening, the spotlight turned to alumnae as sisters celebrated the women who remain Ever Loyal to ZTA. Members and guests danced and cheered as 44 alumnae received their Honor Rings, the highest individual honor granted by the Fraternity for outstanding and sustained service to ZTA (see page 20). Alumnae chapters earning Crown Chapter were also recognized for excellence in the areas of programming, fraternity operations, membership, finances and collegiate support. Of the 136 alumnae chapters that received Crown Chapter, 110 were present at Convention (see the full list on page 20). P I C T U R E D O N R I G H T:
[1] During the alumnae program, chapter officers shared best-practices from their own experiences with recruiting members. [2] The Foundation board presented a tribute to Becky Hainsworth Kirwan in honor of her retirement during the ZTA Foundation Luncheon. Mrs. Kirwan served as Foundation President for 20 years. [3] The Martin, TN Alumnae Chapter received the Alumnae Membership Award. [4] The women of Theta Phi Chapter (California State University, Fullerton) received the collegiate Attendance Award. [5] Members of the Founders Club, which honors individuals and chapters that donated $10,000 or more to the Foundation during the biennium, were recognized at lunch.
LOUISE KETTLER HELPER MEMORIAL AWARD (ALUMNA HONOREE)
For her notable contributions to the progress of the Fraternity and the interfraternal world, Dr. Darcy L. Russell (Sigma Chapter, Baker University) received this award. Darcy previously served as a Province President and implemented innovative programming to help collegiate members succeed in the classroom. Since 2007, she has represented ZTA in multiple leadership positions within the National Panhellenic Conference. She is respected by all 26 organizations for her dependability, dedication and discernment.
SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
For the 2018–2019 academic year, the ZTA Foundation awarded $806,555 in scholarships to 290 collegians and alumnae. Forty-nine of those Zetas were in attendance and recognized at Convention. Additionally, Ashlee Taylor, current President of Theta Tau Chapter (The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), announced the new Carolyn Hof Carpenter Endowed Scholarship in honor of Mrs. Carpenter’s retirement from National Council.

Saturday
Celebrating the ritual with sisters from all different chapters, decades and walks of life is a truly unique experience. On Saturday, Convention attendees got the chance to participate in the Memorial Service and Initiation of Convention Initiate Kimberly Johnson Snyder (see box) before heading to brunch. After enjoying the meal together, collegians and alumnae heard from Outstanding Alumna Dr. Kelly M. Smith (Gamma Pi Chapter, The University of Georgia). In her remarks, Kelly shared how ZTA has enriched her life both personally and professionally. By serving her collegiate chapter as Alumnae-Collegiate Relations Chairman and Ritual Chairman and serving nationally as a Province President and the National Standards and Enrichment Chairman, Kelly was transformed from a shy child to a woman who now confidently stands before hundreds. “ZTA can help you find your voice,” she said. “I’ll always be appreciative of that.”

Feeling inspired, the delegation went into the Final Business Meeting to recognize outgoing National Council members Mrs. Carpenter and Vice President Collegiate II Lynn Compton Chapman and to elect and install the 2018–2020 National Council (see page 14). Finally, Convention 2018 came to a close much in the same way it started, with lots of excitement. At the Recognition Banquet, 59 collegiate and alumnae chapters were honored with Silver Awards (see pages 16–21). As incoming National President Alicia Patten Williams said, this night was all about “the best of the best,” which became clear as presenters shared the accomplishments of those who took home silver platters. As attendees packed up their bags, reflected on the incredible four days of sisterhood they had just experienced and headed home the next morning, one thing was clear: remaining Ever Loyal to the Fraternity continues to enrich the lives of every member of Team Zeta Tau Alpha. CONVENTION INITIATE
Among more than 900 sisters in their ritual whites, Kimberly Johnson Snyder was initiated into Gamma Phi Chapter (University of North Texas). Kimberly has a special tie to Zeta Tau Alpha. She is related by marriage to Founder Maud Jones Horner. Kim’s husband is the great-grandson of Maud’s brother, Plummer Jones. Plummer was instrumental in the formation of Zeta Tau Alpha as he assisted Maud in writing the first Constitution and earliest rituals. Kimberly enjoyed learning more about Maud in the Historical Exhibit during Convention.

She raised her siblings, became a principal, ran a working farm and still found time to have other interests and hobbies. She wore many hats seemingly well. RAECHEL BENNETT BIGGS, VICE PRESIDENT COLLEGIATE I Delta Gamma Chapter, High Point University I love how many people I have connected with as an alumna volunteer. It is always cool to find something in common with a sister who isn’t from your chapter or state. LAURA MOAK REDMAN, VICE PRESIDENT COLLEGIATE II Delta Lambda Chapter, Georgia State University
sisters and friends as well as our amazing International Office staff! CHERI WHITE ARMSTRONG, VICE PRESIDENT ALUMNAE II Theta Gamma Chapter, Texas A&M University I have held several alumnae chapter positions over the years, but my first and favorite was Service Chairman. I loved working with worthy organizations in our community and introducing them to ZTA. FRANLYNA BARRETT CHARLES, SECRETARY-TREASURER Zeta Iota Chapter, Western Carolina University In college, my best friend Lisa received a bid from ZTA through Primary Recruitment and asked if I wanted to do it also. I went to the Continuous Open Bidding event that night and the rest is history!
ZTA has an unprecedented reputation for facing hard challenges and meeting those with support for our members. As a member of National Council, I’m excited to continue to uncover ways in which we can respond to today’s perception of sorority women.

DOLORES GONZALES GASTINEAU, EXTENSION DIRECTOR Theta Omega Chapter, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
As a collegian, homecoming was my favorite. While it was hard work preparing for the various aspects of competition, it was truly a time when our chapter came together to accomplish a common goal. DANA BRASINGTON ATKINSON, VICE PRESIDENT ALUMNAE I Delta Omicron Chapter, Lenoir-Rhyne University By attending Convention and National Leadership Conference and serving on National Council, I have come to know so many wonderful 14 · THEMIS · Convention
Many people may not know I never held an officer position as a collegian. I got involved as an alumna and as a collegiate chapter advisor.
I’m looking forward to working with my Council sisters on new ideas, change, growth and continuing to keep ZTA in the forefront of the fraternity/sorority world.
ZTA Foundation Board [2] CAROLYN HOF CARPENTER, PRESIDENT Theta Tau Chapter, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Since I was Theta Tau Chapter’s President, Becky Hainsworth Kirwan has been my idol. She later became
my mentor and friend and taught me so much about our sisterhood. I am deeply honored to follow in her footsteps as the Foundation President. C YNTHIA BYARS COURTNEY, VICE PRESIDENT OF ALUMNAE DEVELOPMENT Gamma Tau Chapter, Texas Tech University I have friends and sisters all over the country because of this extraordinary organization, which has resulted in an extensive network that combines volunteerism and my career. MARLENE DUNBAR CONRAD, VICE PRESIDENT OF COLLEGIATE DEVELOPMENT Eta Iota Chapter, Valdosta State University I would have loved to meet Founder Ruby Leigh Orgain. I bet she was a very fun friend. I’ve heard that in her later years, she liked to look nice for ZTA guests, so I think we could bond over our mutual love of lipstick. SHERRY SERVER TILLEY, VICE PRESIDENT OF PHILANTHROPY Zeta Alpha Chapter, University of Evansville Our goal for ZTA philanthropy is to continue to enhance our outreach for breast cancer education and awareness, to touch new and unrealized audiences, and to be ever mindful of the importance of personal health awareness and action. CATHERINE G. SLAUGHTER, VICE PRESIDENT OF SCHOLARSHIP Alpha Eta Chapter, University of Cincinnati I love working with the Scholarship Committee to provide scholarships and grants for our members. Reading the scholarship applications each year gives me a good sense of how our members are changing over time. KAY DILL KREUTZER, SECRETARY-TREASURER Eta Rho Chapter, The University of North Alabama I have had two ZTA mentors. Nora Nell Hardy Jackson was my first boss
when I was a Field Consultant from 1978 to 1979. She is a shining example of a genuine Zeta Lady. And Martha C. Edens taught me to serve the Fraternity with whatever strengths God gave me. NORA NELL HARDY JACKSON, DIRECTOR Beta Gamma Chapter, Florida State University I have served ZTA as a volunteer for 57 years. Though I have enjoyed all of my positions, I feel my work with the FHC allowed me to make an impact on not only ZTA housing, but on all fraternity/sorority housing and the perception of ZTA in the fraternity and business worlds. BECK Y HAINSWORTH KIRWAN, DIRECTOR Gamma Beta Chapter, Washington College The thing I liked most about my ZTA college days was serving on an Initiation team for West Chester State College (Eta Gamma Chapter). It helped me understand that ZTA was bigger than my chapter/college.
ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation Board [3] DINAH JACKSON LAUGHERY, PRESIDENT Beta Gamma Chapter, Florida State University My ZTA mentors have been Martha C. Edens, Becky Hainsworth Kirwan and my mother, Nora Nell Hardy Jackson. NATALIE M. YINGLING, VICE PRESIDENT HOUSING AREA I Delta Omega Chapter, Westminster College I am excited to be a part of the change to the FHC structure. I cannot wait to see what we can accomplish to best meet the needs of our collegiate chapters and the dedicated volunteers who serve them. JULIE WARD MOXLEY, VICE PRESIDENT HOUSING AREA II Theta Sigma Chapter, Winthrop University In my eight years as the General Advisor of the Eta Lambda Chapter (College of Charleston), I learned so much and truly “cut my teeth” in all things ZTA.
QUOTES FROM ZTA LEADERS
MARNIE MARLAR FRAZIER, VICE PRESIDENT HOUSING AREA III Eta Omega Chapter, Louisiana State University in Shreveport
The women of National Council, the ZTA Foundation board and the Fraternity Housing Corporation board answered questions to help members get to know them better. Check out their fun facts, what they love about volunteering and more.
My goal is to maintain the strong legacy the FHC boards before us set. I want every Zeta to be extremely proud of her ZTA home. LEAH FIELDS OZMENT, VICE PRESIDENT CONSTRUCTION Nu Chapter, The University of Alabama Julia Marthaler Hill and Lynn Compton Chapman are my ZTA mentors. Both have played a big role in my national involvement in ZTA and taught me that your sisters aren’t just from your chapter. JULIA MARTHALER HILL, VICE PRESIDENT DESIGN Eta Rho Chapter, The University of North Alabama In college, I was drawn to ZTA by the Zetas I met during Recruitment. They were beautiful, smart and genuine. What stood out to me the most was their authenticity and commitment to a standard of excellence.

CASEY GUIMBELLOT PASH, VICE PRESIDENT OPERATIONS Iota Chi Chapter, Middle Tennessee State University Not many people know I previously managed the Tennessee Executive Residence, which is where the governor of Tennessee lives. That prepared me for volunteering my time giving back to ZTA housing.

STEPHANIE ARNETTE POWELL, SECRETARY-TREASURER Gamma Pi Chapter, The University of Georgia My ZTA mentor was Carolyn Hendricks Hester (Gamma Pi Chapter), who, among other things, served as a chapter advisor for Gamma Pi for more than 30 years. She taught me a deep love and commitment to our beloved Zeta Tau Alpha, about the many blessings being an involved alumna brings, how to serve with grace and to have passion for what I believe in.

USING DATA TO DRIVE ZTA’S IMPACT By Becky Koltonski Gleason, Sr. Director of Education & Programs
ZTA prides itself on being a datadriven organization. This year marked the third consecutive year ZTA conducted the membership assessment of the collegiate experience that measures four areas— ZTA’s Nine Key Values, the Five Areas of Sisterhood, Health & Safety, and the overall ZTA experience. The ZTA Membership Survey is helpful in a number of ways, but most importantly, it gives us a more accurate, research-based picture of who our collegians are and what they’re looking to get out of their ZTA membership. Additionally, it allows us to make data-driven decisions on the national level regarding programming, practices and processes, and it provides chapter leaders a snapshot of their membership to allow them to do the same. National Results To meet Crown Chapter criteria, chapters conduct a program based on a value in one of their areas of improvement. Nationally, we have seen great strides in areas where we have focused our attention and resources. Seven of the Nine Key Values have improved significantly since 2017—Leadership, Responsibility, Being Rather Than Seeming, Service & Philanthropy, Seeking Understanding That We Might Gain True Wisdom, Loyalty & Commitment, and Love. Since 2014, ZTA chapters have been discussing mental health through the Behind Happy Faces program. Collegians are reporting higher selfefficacy related to their own mental health and helping friends/sisters who may be dealing with mental health challenges compared to members of other sororities. 24 · THEMIS · Fraternity News
ZTA’s sexual assault prevention programming, My Sister, My Responsibility: Sisterhood, Safety & Support, is continuing to demonstrate a positive impact. At both the individual and organizational levels, ZTA continues to see movement in a positive direction related to member attitudes about sexual assault. Attitudes about minimization, social pressure and victim blaming have decreased while survivor support has increased. In 2017–2018, ZTA transitioned from hosting State- or Region-wide Officer Training to conducting regional Officer Leadership Academies. The results of comparing attendees at each show that OLA participants saw significant gains in all aspects of sisterhood, commitment and a number of ZTA values. Chapter Impact Chapter Assessment Reports give each chapter the tools to impact members on a local level. At Convention 2018, attendees received and discussed their reports and were asked to adjust their 2018–2019 goals based on the results. Many chapters saw improvements in the areas they chose to focus on last year. Theta Omega Chapter (California State Polytechnic University, Pomona) focused on Belonging, one of the Five Areas of Sisterhood. Last year, they started chapter meetings with icebreaker activities such as asking each member to find a sister with her same birth month and ask why she joined ZTA. These pairs became meeting buddies, which determined the seating chart for that week. Members connected with sisters who may have been outside of their regular friend groups and felt more
comfortable attending meetings and other events because they now had new connections within the chapter. President Kellie Reich said, “We were so happy to see that this new approach truly made a difference as our chapter’s Sense of Belonging section in the Chapter Assessment Report significantly increased!” Zeta Xi Chapter (Georgia Southern University) used the Nine Key Values during recruitment workshops at the beginning of the academic year. Each day, they highlighted at least one value through discussions and activities. On day one, they focused on Being Rather Than Seeming, which is about authenticity and letting people in. Members participated in a trust fall activity that represented vulnerability and putting trust in their sisters. Theta Tau Chapter (The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) focused on a number of items in its assessment. One of the chapter’s largest improvements was in overall satisfaction in ZTA. They introduced a new position on Program Council for seniors and increased senior participation in events by 50 percent. They also reorganized chapter meetings to make them more engaging by inviting guest speakers to incorporate required programming in a new and innovative way. This increased chapter turnout for meetings. Finally, they encouraged more chapter input in sisterhood and social events by conducting Google polls. Hearing what their sisters wanted helped the Executive Committee make events tailored to the chapter.

difference in a person’s life motivates me. I hope to make an impact, large or small. Knowing I have the potential to help even one person drives and motivates me.
If you could be in the Olympics, what sport would you compete in? I would be a swimmer. I swam all throughout my childhood.
What’s the best gift you ever received? My grandma’s necklace was the best gift I ever received.
How do you live the values of ZTA? I let The Creed guide what I do. The best advice I was given as a chapter leader was about making a tough decision—if you cannot validate the decision using The Creed, you are probably making the wrong decision. What did you want to be when you were little? The earliest thing I remember wanting to be was a marine biologist, which is funny because now the ocean freaks me out and I’m not a very good swimmer. MICHELLE FITZGIBBONS [2] Beta Psi Chapter Stetson University Hometown: Wellington, Fla. Major: Management What app could you not live without? Instagram is my favorite app! I love taking photos and capturing memories. What are your plans after you serve as a Leadership Consultant? I plan to get my master’s degree in student affairs and ultimately work in a university as a dean of students. I love working with students and value how important it is to mentor individuals during college as that is one of the most important time periods for growth and development.
Who has been your ZTA mentor? My freshman year, I had the pleasure of meeting our General Advisor, Kelsey Dugan. I’ve always looked up to her because of her dedication to ZTA. She taught me endless lessons about leadership, sisterhood and friendship. ABBY CARBERRY [4] Gamma Zeta Chapter Mississippi State University Hometown: West Babylon, N.Y. Major: Public Relations What is your personal motto? Progress, not perfection. What superpower would you like to have? Is being physically fit without actually working out a superpower? Because I really hate the gym and having that as a superpower would be fantastic. KAITLYN DARBE [5] Kappa Alpha Chapter Colorado State University Hometown: Castle Rock, Colo.

What’s at the top of your bucket list? I would love to go on a tour of the Blue House (aka The Frida Kahlo Museum) in Mexico City, Mexico.

KIMBERLY BROCHOCKI [7] Beta Delta Chapter Miami University Hometown: Nashville, Tenn. Major: Early Childhood Education What app could you not live without? I couldn’t live without Maps. I’m terrible at directions! What do you hope to contribute to the chapters you visit? I hope to help chapters enjoy the little things. Sometimes it’s so easy to focus on just the end goals we work toward, but I think it’s just as important to slow down and enjoy the fun that makes up all the little parts of the journey. DAWN CRAFT [8] Delta Upsilon Chapter West Virginia Wesleyan College Hometown: Mineral Point, Pa. Major: Biology Why did you want to be a Leadership Consultant? After I finished serving as the President of my chapter, I knew my time in ZTA leadership was not over. I felt compelled to
continue serving the Fraternity and truly heard the call of ZTA. I hope to influence members the way LCs and other sisters across the country influenced me. What superpower would you like to have? I would choose the power of healing. Nothing hurts me more than seeing others in pain. I would use my power to make those around me healthy and happy. KENZIE JOHNSON [9] Lambda Alpha Chapter Sacred Heart University Hometown: Sandwich, Mass. Major: Psychology Who has been your ZTA mentor? My ZTA mentor has been my Province President, Leanne Puia. She has been a true sister to me. Whether it was telling me that everything would be okay and to get up and try again or giving me honest criticism when I needed it, she has been there through the bad and the good. I know I can always count on her to be a shoulder to cry on or a sister to
celebrate with. She has been my rock, and without her I would not have achieved a quarter of what I have. What’s at the top of your bucket list? I would love to visit Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, Kenya. JORDAN GILLESPIE [10] Iota Delta Chapter Towson University Hometown: Baltimore, Md. Major: Theatre What’s the best gift you ever received? My cat, Ziggy, was my best gift. He was a surprise. I was also excited to receive a ticket to the Firefly Music Festival in Delaware. What are your plans after you serve as a Leadership Consultant? I plan on teaching at an inner-city school to help children who really need a good role model.

After I serve as a Leadership Consultant, I plan to go to grad school to get a master’s in business administration. If you could be in the Olympics, what sport would you compete in?

My mother stayed by my dad in the toughest times of applying for and going through medical school and worked to make sure we each had what we needed and all we could ever want.

MEET THE TEAM
CREATING CHANGE ON CAMPUS By Olga Vlashyn, Stephanie Deremiah, Baylee Bryan and Jane Krause, Contributing Writers Prescription drug abuse and misuse is the fastest-growing drug problem in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. As defined by the FDA, prescription drug abuse refers to the intentional use of a prescription medication to “get high,” while prescription drug misuse refers to the intentional or unintentional use of a prescription medication in a manner other than directed by the prescriber, such as taking a medication more frequently or in higher quantities than stated in the directions.
Alpha Foundation, Generation Rx, and the Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery, specifically supported the dissemination and application of Generation Rx University educational resources as well as particular programming to prevent stimulant and opioid abuse and misuse.
As students pursuing health care fields at Purdue, we had a pivotal responsibility to help prevent our peers from misusing prescription medications by providing them with information about Although these potential dangers. two terms are We also wanted to – JANE KR AUSE often used enhance medication interchangeably, safety and offer useful the distinction between the two is information on resources that are based on the intention or motivation available on campus for those who of the user. Regardless of the term need support. used, both can lead to addiction Part of the Zeta Tau Alpha Creed and other dangerous consequences reads: “to think in terms of all including death. Abusing prescription mankind and our service to the drugs is just as dangerous as abusing world.” We knew we wanted to illicit drugs. serve our community with humble Thanks to the Generation Rx hearts, so we volunteered for this University Implementation Grant for project. Throughout, we valued the the 2017–2018 academic year, Purdue collaboration and teamwork involved University was one of five universities and realized a comprehensive in the nation that received funding approach by inter-professional health to support educational efforts on care teams, which leads to positive college campuses toward instilling patient outcomes, is the future of safe medication practices among health care. fraternity and sorority members.

mentor Jane Krause said. “As health care professionals of tomorrow, I’m confident the peer educators look forward to increasing awareness of prescription drug abuse and misuse in their own communities.” During the fall 2017 semester, we developed a 30-minute educational
and interactive discussion called Safe Medication Practices, which was individualized for Purdue’s campus. To develop the program, we used an existing prescription drug abuse peer education program called Prescription Drug Abuse: The Growing Epidemic, which was previously developed by members of Purdue Student Health Advocates, and educational tools available through the Generation Rx website. Topics included examples of depressant and stimulant drugs (often referred to as study drugs) that are abused; examples of harmful side effects and consequences of abused medications; safe medication practices including proper storage and disposal; and resources available on and off campus. Since a few of us are from ZTA’s Alpha Theta Chapter, we believed our fellow sisters would benefit from learning how to execute the steps that should be taken in an overdose situation. However, our goals could not be met by only sharing our presentation with one sorority. Therefore, in order to make an impact on Purdue’s entire campus, we reached out to sororities, fraternities, residence halls and other student organizations to schedule presentations. As a result, during the spring 2018 semester, we delivered the Safe Medication Practices presentation to 494 students representing
CONGRATULATIONS! For their work on this project, the team received the Indiana Pharmacists Alliance (IPA) Beyond Dispensing Award, which was presented at the IPA Annual Meeting at the Embassy Suites Conference Center in Noblesville, Indiana, on Sept. 27, 2018.

13 student groups. We also had the unique privilege of presenting the information to the sorority House Directors on campus. Students attending the program completed an assessment prior to and immediately following the program. The assessment was developed based on the learning objectives of the program and included 10 multiplechoice items to assess students’ knowledge surrounding the topic. Results of the preand post-assessments indicated a statistically significant increase
in eight of the 10 items and a mean total score increase of 19.13 percent. The Generation Rx Implementation Grant allowed us to educate those in our community about the importance of safe medication practices. We realize we had the incredible opportunity to be a part of something greater than ourselves through this service project. By collaborating and preparing for our presentations, we were able “to prepare for service and learn the nobility of serving.” The Zeta Tau Alpha Creed rang true, and we were grateful for the chance to educate our peers on Purdue’s campus.

DRAFTING A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS By Christy Marx Barber, Staff Writer
In 1977, Zeta Tau Alpha became the trailblazer in fraternity/sorority housing through the foresight of leaders who created the Fraternity Housing Corporation. Forty-one years later, our current leaders are making a dramatic and pragmatic change to the corporation’s organizational structure to ensure our continued success. As announced last fall, a task force of ZTA National Officers studied effective board structures and proposed a new organizational design for the FHC (see chart on right). The new structure more closely models National Council and the support teams of Province and District Presidents and national committees. (Learn more about the new FHC board members on page 14.) “Our changes allow us to be true to the original mission of the housing corporation—to provide our collegiate members with safe, secure and competitive housing on every campus,” FHC President Dinah Jackson Laughery said. “With Housing Advisors (formerly known as House Association Presidents) now working as partners with General Advisors, House Directors and chapter House Managers, we will have more collaboration and open communication to ensure our chapters have the facilities they need to be successful.” The three Vice Presidents Housing now oversee a system of 24 Area Housing Coordinators, similar to Province and District Presidents, who, in turn, provide guidance to local Housing Advisors.

Fraternity Housing Corporation board members gathered at International Office in Carmel, Indiana, for their first meeting as the newly restructured board in August.
“Our goal was to empower our local volunteers and to give them the support they need to be successful,” Mrs. Laughery said. “The new structure gives more alumnae the opportunity to serve ZTA in meaningful ways.” In 1977, the FHC had four board members to oversee 10 properties with a net worth of $200,000. Within 20 years, those figures grew to 13 members overseeing 99 properties with a net worth of $20 million. Prior to 2018, 17 board members oversaw 113 properties with a net worth of more than $35 million. In the last 10 years, ZTA reactivated or installed 26 chapters, which all became FHC member associations. “The FHC had truly outgrown its original leadership design,” Mrs. Laughery said. “We knew we needed to make a change in order to properly serve all our chapters—existing and
new. We did not want the growth to overtax our volunteers, so we chose a structure in which every level of volunteer receives adequate support.” Additionally, the FHC team at International Office now has three employees—Senior Director of Housing Suzanne Brittain (Theta Omicron Chapter, Baylor University), Director of Housing Finances Kym McKinley and Director of Properties Todd Smith. Among other things, Todd is responsible for assisting volunteers in locating reliable contractors for ZTA projects in their areas. “As in every venture, we still have planning to do and decisions to make,” Mrs. Laughery said. “It’s new and a little bit scary. I am confident, however, that we will make good decisions as long as we keep in mind our purpose—to provide spaces where our collegiate women can experience the best possible sisterhood.”

HISTORICAL AND EDUCATIONAL CENTER: NEARLY 100 YEARS IN THE MAKING By Patti Cords Levitte, Archivist, and Susan L. Beard, Archives Committee Chairman
One of the long-held dreams of Zetas everywhere will become a reality in summer 2019, when the Historical and Educational Center opens at International Office. The 1,600 square-foot space will allow both members and the public to experience the story of Zeta Tau Alpha through our collections and conduct research on ZTA and our role in the greater fraternity/sorority community. The path to this goal has been a winding one, tracing all the way back to 1924, just one year after ZTA celebrated its 25th anniversary. Shirley Kreasan Strout (Tau Chapter, Millikin University) was determined to collect the early history of Zeta Tau Alpha after taking on the position of Grand Historian/Editor in 1923. She realized that many of the historical documents and objects relating to our founding were scattered, still in use or even
missing. She organized a reunion of the eight living Founders in Richmond, Virginia, in November 1924, which would be the last time they would all be together. Shirley also traveled to North Carolina, where she stayed with Maud Jones Horner’s widower, William Horner (Maud died in 1920). William donated many of Maud’s papers and photos from her time in college, saying, “I was constrained to keep them, for I knew that someday Maud’s fraternity would want them, for just such a purpose as yours, and now I am glad to give them over to you for keeping. They belong to her fraternity.” This collection of Maud’s possessions, along with the items donated by the other Founders at the reunion, became the nucleus of the ZTA Archives. Shirley spent the next four years scouring the country and contacting
anyone who had links to early ZTA chapters. She was able to acquire large amounts of correspondence, photos and documents that helped to illustrate the formation of ZTA from the people who had participated in the early years and were only a decade or two removed from the actual events. A journalist by vocation, Shirley wanted to make sure our story was told accurately. The release of the History of Zeta Tau Alpha in 1928 gathered all this valuable information in one place. Though she felt there needed to be a more permanent place for our Fraternity history, our budget did not allow for much space when ZTA moved into our first Central Office in Evanston, Illinois, in 1930. It was strictly a place for business, with little display space. Much of the Archives lived with Shirley during that period.

By the late 1930s, Grand Chapter realized some preservation work needed to be done to ensure our artifacts would survive the coming decades. The first time the traveling Historical Exhibit appeared for members to view was at Convention 1937 in Swampscott, Massachusetts. Although simple, the Historical Exhibit reflected what Shirley hoped for in a permanent exhibit. BE A PART OF ZTA HISTORY The Historical and Educational Center will include a plaque recognizing donors who contribute $5,000 or more to its development. Please consider honoring our past with a donation. To do so, contact the ZTA Foundation at ztafoundation@zetataualpha.org, make your donation online by visiting give.zetataualpha.org/HEC, or write “Historical and Educational Center” on the donation envelope included in this issue and send it back to International Office.
Following this, select pieces were on display at Central Office, but they were limited due to space constraints. During World War II, Shirley even had the Archives moved into a bombproof storage center to protect our history! As ZTA grew and we moved into our first Fraternity-owned building in 1977, space was still an issue for the Archives. More historical items were on display, but they were mostly used as accessory pieces rather than teaching tools for sharing our history. More room was found when we moved to our second office on Founders Road in 1993, but there was still no dedicated space to fully tell our story. In 2008, then-National President Laura Ladewig Landers started the investigation for the formation of a formal Archives. It quickly became clear that the first step was to get a grasp on what exactly Zetas held in their collections. Since 2009, the Archives Committee has spent time diving into the
collections of ZTA, many of which had not been touched since Shirley updated the History in 1954. With the addition of the staff Archivist position in 2015, we now have someone to work on preserving our collections full time. Various options for putting an exhibit space in the Founders Road International Office were explored, but by 2017, it was clear that the operations of ZTA had outgrown the building. When the decision was made to move to Carmel, Indiana, part of the plan for the new IO included a room to display our history in a professional, museumquality setting. Then-National President Carolyn Hof Carpenter was instrumental in making sure the new building included this important space, and the Building Committee chose to make the Historical and Educational Center a priority by giving a large portion of the first floor over to this project. In early 2018, the Archives Committee began their work with two firms, 1220 Exhibits in Nashville, Tennessee, and Design Minds in Fairfax, Virginia, to develop a comprehensive plan for the exhibit, which will use creative visuals to tell the story of our Fraternity’s history. Space for a future research library will also allow members and the public to do research on ZTA, the National Panhellenic Conference and other fraternity/sorority organizations. The Historical and Educational Center is set to officially debut at National Leadership Conference 2019. The needs of the center will be ongoing as there are many conservation and restoration projects to take on in the future and the need for supplies and staff will continue to grow. We hope the center will be a place of pride for all Zetas that will show the impact our Fraternity has had on the history of women’s higher education as well as the fabric of American culture over the past 120 years.
