Who Are We?
We are alumnae members of the Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity for Women. We pledged our loyalty for Zeta Tau Alpha at colleges and universities all across the United States. We have diverse backgrounds and interests, but share the same ideals, goals and sisterhood.
We live in the western sections of Northern Virginia, including but not limited to Ashburn, Centreville, Chantilly, Fairfax, Great Falls,Herndon, Manassas, Reston and Sterling.
What Do We Do?
We meet throughout the year to socialize, participate in service projects, raise money for our philanthropy, attend cultural and educational programs, and support our local collegiate chapters.
We generally meet once a month at a number of convenient locations in the area including restaurants, members' homes, and community meeting facilities.
We participate in numerous service activities throughout the year including those insupport of our national philanthropy, breast cancer research and education. One of those activities is the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation's THINK-PINK!® program in October, breast cancer awareness month, during which time we distribute the Breast Self-Examination Stickers in our neighborhoods and pink ribbons at a Washington Redskins home game. In the spring, we also spend time volunteering for the Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure, with both registration and race day activities. Many of our members also participate in the race. Outside of breast cancer awareness work, we also volunteer time/contribute donations to many organizations in our area, including the Ronald McDonald House, Sullivan House, Cole's Closet, and the Shephard Center Food Bank.
We fund raise throughout the year in order to contribute to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation, which provides educational programs, scholarships and leadership training for our members as well as financial support to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, for breast cancer research and education.
We assist the Northern Virginia Alumnae Panhellenic Association in their activities. We help selling tickets to a Panhellenic sponsored play each year to raise money for two college scholarship. Additionally, we assist in the group with their annual gift wrapping event to raise money for the juvenile diabetes research.
We support our local collegiate chapters. Primarily, we support Gamma Kappa Chapter of ZTA at James Madison University, by sending encouragement in the form of gift boxes and having a special event for the graduating seniors in order to welcome them to the alumnae world.
We also try to have as much fun as possible! Some of the fun activities that we have done in the past include: potluck dinners, barbecues, cookie exchanges, dinner and a movie at a local cinema draft house, happy hour, paint your own pottery, strawberry socials, holiday parties, crafting, road trips, wine tasting, Virginia Zeta Day, tea parties, and hiking on local nature trails.
