Parents
“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”
Letter to a ZTA Parent:
CONGRATULATIONS! We would first like to welcome you and your daughter to a prestigious group of women locally and nationally. We are so happy to have your daughter as our sister. Even more so, we are extremely excited that she can now call Zeta Tau Alpha her home away from home. As your daughter begins her walk in ZTA, she will meet our VP II, also known as the New Member Mom! She is your daughter's very first sister to rely on to teach her why our sisterhood is so magnificent and special.
Zeta Tau Alpha will give your daughter many opportunities to grow, even more so, into an amazing young woman and adult. Zeta Tau Alpha has decided to strive for “GREATNESS” in every aspect of life. The late Deb Ensor, ZTA’s Executive Director from 1985-2014, inspired the motto “GREATNESS”. She encouraged and taught every Zeta throughout the country to continuously “Seek the Noblest.” As your daughter travels through her exciting journey as a New Member of Zeta Tau Alpha, she will find that she will constantly be surrounded by greatness. Within this amazing sisterhood, there is great laughter, great friendship, great scholastic opportunities, great experiences, great love, and great memories.
Our hearts are so full of joy knowing that your wonderful daughter wanted to be a part of our sisterhood, but you should also know that as much as she wanted Zeta, we wanted her even more. In your daughter, we saw the qualities of a Zeta Lady; we saw loyalty, kindness, nobility, and greatness. We cannot wait to see how she grows during her time in Zeta Tau Alpha.
You have raised an exceptional young woman, and we are so honored to have her in our sisterhood. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, feel free to contact our president at thetathetapresident1@gmail.com or our VP II at thetathetavp2@gmail.com
Zeta Love,
Theta Theta Chapter
Even as young adults, we know how we got to where we are. With our busy schedules as college students and ZTA's, it is still important to us that we make time for our parents and show them how much they mean to us!
We value the role of parents in our members' lives and welcome your involvement! Through newsletter, events, and communication, we want to keep you informed and engaged with your daughter's sorority experience.
During the Fall semester, ZTA hosts a "Dad's Day". In 2022, we enjoyed a tailgate before a Tech football game! Dads and daughters were able to participate in a baggo tournament, eat YUMMY food, and watch a fantastic game! In 2023, Galla Creek Golf Course hosted a golf tournament for us! Sisters were able to spend time with the important men in their lives and play a fun game of golf!
During the Spring semester, ZTA hosts a "Moms Day". In 2023, we enjoyed getting permanent bracelets to match with our motherly figures and snack on finger foods! In 2024, our favorite women were invited to a build your own flower bouquet! ZTA provided a wide array of charcuterie boards and fun backgrounds to take pictures!
Arkansas Tech also sponsors a "Family Day" each year during football season! ZTA treats our families to a cookout and tailgate before we cheer on the WonderBoys!
