ZTA Convention 2010 in New Orleans

Save the date – July 7-10, 2010. It would be awesome to have all of our alumnae chapters in 17A represented at Convention 2010. Join your Zeta sisters at the fabulous Marriott Hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans next summer. All alumnae are invited to attend as an official delegate of your chapter or as a guest. If you are looking for energy, excitement and enthusiasm to take your Zeta work to the next level, this is an event you don’t want to miss.

Certificate of Merit Award for Alumnae

It is time to nominate outstanding alumnae for the Certificate of Merit (COM)!

Awarded by National Council, the COM is granted to ZTA alumnae who have made an outstanding contribution to the Fraternity over an extended period of time. Recipient recommendations can be made by the alumnae organization's President (or another officer, if the President is recommended), the District President or a member of National Council.

* Nominations are due to the District President October 1st; they can be emailed
* The candidate must have held a significant position within the Fraternity for at least 7 years; the current year does not count.
* If a candidate has served in more than one position in a year, list each position separately.
* Multiple positions within a year do not count as more than one year of service.
* Remember, there must be a minimum of seven entries for years of service. Dates must accompany these entries.
* Only the following positions are considered by National Council as officers: President, Vice President (I & II), Secretary, Treasurer and Historian-Reporter.
* Committee Chairs do not count as significant service (although we realize that many women put a great deal of effort into this).
* After listing the nominee's service, provide a brief paragraph about the candidate's special talents or efforts.
* Nominations are SECRET; do not let the candidate know she has been nominated. It will be a fun surprise at Zeta Day!
* For more information, contact your DP (mokszetas@yahoo.com).

ZTA & Yoplait: 6 Years of Partnership

ZTA will soon begin its sixth year of a partnership with Yoplait and its Save Lids to Save Lives® program. The partnership began in 2004, when Yoplait asked ZTA to help collect lids on 10 college campuses as part of a pilot project. Now, Yoplait and ZTA have expanded the effort to all of our collegiate and alumnae chapters. For every lid collected by ZTA, Yoplait donates 5 cents to the ZTA Foundation and 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. By placing Yoplait lid collection boxes all over campuses and hosting special events, Zetas collected over 311,000 lids in 2008!
