My Happy List has a theme this week:
It's All Greek to Me! :D
1. My mother and I attended Zeta Day this past weekend. It was fun and loud! The young ladies were not shy about showing their Zeta love.
One of the highlights for me was seeing the actual silver chain of Zeta chapters. Usually it is on display at the national headquarters, so it was a treat to see it in person here in Alabama.
We were served a strawberry dessert, of course! Strawberries were served at the very first Zeta social.
One of the main reasons I remain active in my sorority is our philanthropy. I have had several friends develop breast cancer, and they are all the encouragement I need to support the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation.
Raising funds and awareness for breast cancer makes me very happy! I am proud to be a Zeta!
2. Our daughter's sorority is hosting a philanthropy event with my husband's fraternity. Mr. Art @ Home will definitely be there! She even bought Mr. Art @ Home a t-shirt for the event. She is so cute to think of her daddy!
Are you Greek? Are you still active as an alumna in your sorority? Our local chapter keeps us busy, and I was so proud and in awe of how much money and awareness our local Zeta chapters have raised for breast cancer.
Until next time...
Zeta love!

My chapter's link in the chain: Nu Chapter, the University of Alabama, founded on April 10, 1910.
There's a long, long chain of chapters
From North to South, East to West.
There's a loyal group of sisters that we all love best.
How we'd like to have you join us,
And be a Zeta so true.
We'd like, oh how, we'd like to make a
Zeta Girl of you!

Zeta's partners include the NFL and Yoplait yogurt.

A pocket on the front of a fraternity t-shirt is called a frocket! ;P

I love it! I have lots of KA friends and relatives from Ole Miss. Love the photo of you and your mom!
ReplyDeleteHow totally fun! I loved this post.
ReplyDeleteNope, no sorority, but I haven't gone to much college yet. Maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteYou and your mom look so cute:)
ReplyDeleteLook how gorgeous you and your mom are! WOW! I love your beautiful smiles! What a wonderful event! ♥
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it was a great time! I love the picture of you pretty ladies!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Can I just say, that picture of you & your Mom is beautiful? Your Mom looks like a sweet & classy Southern belle!
ReplyDeleteBack in college, I was a shy and quiet girl so I never managed to join any organization. College life for me was studies, home and my few close friends. Seeing things like this make me feel that there's really great happiness in being with other people especially if it comes for a cause.
ReplyDeleteI hope your sorrority will engage more in philantropic endeavors. The society needs people like you.
Wishing you a great day ahead Ricki! :)
Great post. Great cause and the photo of you and your mother is beautiful.
ReplyDeletei have always wished i had done college the traditional way. i started straight out of HS but took some time off then went back for my masters and i was married and working full time when i did it, so there was no real college life for me. i am glad that i have my education but a sorority would have been sooo much fun!!
ReplyDeleteOh you and your mom look so beautiful and I love your hair. You look gorgeous my friend. Love you Southern Belles and your traditions.
