Happy October!

This is the time of year where ZTA shines and the New Orleans alumnae chapter is no exception! October has always been my favorite month to be a Zeta Tau Alpha sister because our dedication to philanthropy is what attracted me to ZTA in the first place. I love that I have the chance to continue this tradition here in the New Orleans Alumnae Chapter where our month is filled with not one, but two Races for the Cure, as well as our NFL Think Pink Game. Has anyone else noticed that the team wears pink all month long? That is such an awesome way for our favorite football team to show support for our cause! While philanthropy is important, we also cannot forget the wonderful social events that are coming up surrounding the 50th Anniversary of the Delta Nu Chapter at the University of New Orleans. We have lots of stuff planned for October 14-16, to honor such a wonderful chapter. Make sure to take a look at our events page for more details.

We are so excited to get started on our awesome social and philanthropy events this month and have the chance to come together as sisters to make a difference in our community. Can’t wait to see you all there!

Zeta Tau Alpha, GNO Alumnae Chapter

Experience…The President

Welcome to another great year with GNO ZTA Alumnae Chapter.  I am so honored to be the President of this wonderful group of ladies dedicated to seek the noblest. This year is off to an amazing start.  The GNO Chapter was awarded at Convention with the Silver for Alumnae Improvement.  I have never been so proud to be a GNO Zeta than at that moment.  I know all of the hard work, time and dedication that went into winning that award.  I want to say THANK YOU to all of the members that strived to make GNO the best it could be.  And a very special thank you to Helen Fish for leading the way. What an awesome time to be a GNO Zeta!  Also, I would like to welcome all of our new members, and say how excited I am to have you apart of this amazing group.  I look forward to meeting you and showing you that    Zeta is Forever.           zlam, Sumer Simone, President

Experience…Crown Connections

Strengthening the Links of Sisterhood

Crown Connections are events that promote sisterhood in smaller group settings. With such a large membership, Crown Connections are a great way for our members to get to know each other beyond monthly events and help connect members with common interests.

Caring Crowns – The ladies of this group meet with Zetas that are homebound or going through a difficult time (sick, post-baby, etc) and give them a little Zeta Love.

Z-T-A Play – A playgroup for Zeta moms with small children that meets on a regular basis.

If you are interesting in joining one of the Crown Connection groups, please email Elizabeth Joint at eojoint@gmail.com
