PRESIDENT: Rachel Butler

Hometown: Eva, AL

Major: Premed: Biology major/Chemistry Minor

My favorite symbol: My favorite symbol of Zeta is the 5-point crown. I love the significance of the points and that they are revealed to each Zeta when we are initiated. The crown is more than a physical manifestation of our motto “Seek the Noblest.” It dictates some of the most important values of our organization.

My favorite 2014 memory: My favorite 2014 memory was being installed as President. My mother was a Zeta during college and also served as chapter President. I was so excited when she was able to come to my installation. Being able to share that experience with her was really special. I think she even teared up!

My Favorite ZTA memory: big little week! The suspense was so fun and the gifts weren't too bad ;)

Why I wanted to be VP2: I feel like it is a vital piece to the executive council and to the chapter. You are the mother of the new members, and you get to teach them all about sisterhood. I also am very excited to plan bid day and big little week!

My favorite zeta memory: My favorite Zeta memory was a paint sisterhood that we had! It is my favorite because we had different paint activities, and it turned into a huge paint fight before the night was over! 
Why I love zeta: I love zeta because it has given me so much in the short time that I have been in college. I didn’t know much about Greek life before going through recruitment, but once I visited ZTA, I knew it was where it was supposed to be. Through Zeta, I have met friends that I know will last a lifetime and sisters that will always be there for me.

Why I chose ZTA: Recruitment was an awesome experience for me! I made lots of friends, and I found my home in ZTA. The girls from Zeta Tau Alpha were who I wanted to be: positive, happy, and welcoming. They made me feel that ZTA was my home, and I have loved it ever since that day!

Major: Early Childhood Education

My favorite 2014 memory:  My favorite memory from this year was Parents' Weekend when we had the Daddy/Daughter BBQ and Mother's Tea. It was so much fun to spend time with my parents and bring all the parents together to show them our love and appreciation! 

Why I chose ZTA: Breast Cancer Awareness and Education has always been near and dear to my heart, especially since I have had several family members go through their own journey with breast cancer. I knew ZTA would provide me with opportunities to keep raising awareness for this cause while also getting close to girls who are now some of my best friends!

My favorite ZTA memory: My favorite ZTA memory is Bid Day. I loved being able to run through the halls and then shout out the window with that I was a Zeta Tau Alpha! I loved how excited everyone was to include me and treat me like a sister.

My favorite part of my position: My favorite part of being Academic Achievement Chair is being able to encourage girls to keep working hard and to never give up.

Major: Pre-Pharm-Chemistry

My favorite 2014 memory: Going to the beach with all my best friends

Why did I choose ZTA: I went through formal recruitment my fall semester freshman year not knowing anything about Greek life, but when I visited ZTA it wasn't long until I knew that's where I belonged. All of the girls I met were down to earth and super friendly, making me feel welcomed and comfortable. I felt like they wanted me to be there and wanted to get to know me on a personal level. I couldn't see myself anywhere else.

PHILANTHROPY: Katie Howell

Hometown: Birmingham, Alabama

Major: Psychology

My favorite philanthropy event: Big Man on Campus!

Why I choose Zeta: I am a legacy, so I have had a love for Zeta Tau Alpha since I was young. Coming to Shorter and seeing that they offered Zeta, I knew it was meant to be. Plus, when I walked in the first night of recruitment and met Hannah Martin, (our sisters were in the same pledge class at Samford University) I knew I had found my home.
