100 Years of ZTA Love

Hear me calling...Hear me calling...

Our district has its own conference call number! Yes, we will be using this tool to stay in touch and share ideas with each other. I plan to use the phone number to schedule a conference call every other month on various topics of interest. We will probably hold calls in September, November, January and March. I think this will be a great way to do some officer training and idea sharing since all of us are so busy and travel is difficult (and expensive). I will be sharing more information about this soon. In the mean time, respond to the poll on this blog site to help me plan and prioritize our discussion topics!

Zeta Day 2009 in St. Louis

Kansas and Missouri Zetas are headed to the Gateway City for Zeta Day 2009! The St. Louis alumnae chapter will be our hostesses this year, and they are busy planning an amazing time for everyone. Make plans now to make a road trip to St. Louis.

Collegiate recruitment is the lifeblood of Zeta Tau Alpha, and alumnae play an important role in that recruitment. The recruitment system depends on the submission of Membership Information Sheets to collegiate chapters. All alumnae have the responsibility to submit a Membership Information Sheet (MIS) on any potential new member who exhibits the qualities expected of ZTA members.

Encourage members of your alumnae group to:

• Submit an MIS to the ZTA chapter on the campus where the potential new member attends school. The names and addresses of the alumnae who receive MIS forms for each chapter are listed in the spring issue of Themis and can be found online with the MIS form. (Note: you will need a ZTA username and password to access this information. If you do not have one, follow the instructions for "Need to Create An Account.")
• Meet the daughters of friends and neighbors.
• Talk about ZTA to young women and show your pride, not just the week before high school graduation, but years before.
• Send voluntary references on women from the community.
