Favorite Delta Zeta Memory:

My favorite delta zeta memory will always and forver be the day that i first came to hang at the house after bid day! Neda had plastic bowling pins set up in the living room and we body bowled with an office chair! We went flying across the floor! I am looking forward to creating more memories and get to share my life at home with my sisters and have them experience summer and activities the way that i have my whole life! Papa Frankie is looking forward to me bringing my sisters on the boat and over to my house for sushi and bbqs!

 

How do you define sisterhood/What does Delta Zeta mean to you?

I define Sisterhood as the people you can trust your life with, a sister is someone whom you can always look over your shoulder and know they will be there for you. Delta Zeta has given me a home away from home. It means the world to me and i don't think my college experience would be happy and/or complete without it.
Alissa is an amazing sister!  She is always ready for anything.  This semester, she participated in Kappa Delta's Shamrock Showcase, helped out with our fire drill, and participated in an on campus undie run to raise awareness of sexual assault.  She manages a crazy class schedule and a great relationship with her family.  She is also the Sweetheart for Sigma Pi Fraternity. 

Alissa and the Supportive Sis Bra

So, you may be wondering why Alissa is wearing that super sassy bra.  At Delta Zeta we have a tradition called the supportive sis bra.  Each week, the bra is given to a member that has gone out of their way to be extra supportive and giving of their time.  That sister then adds something to our bra, like rhinestones, tassels, or a fun quote.  At the end of the semester, a sister is selected to keep the bra and is honored as the Supportive Sister for the semester.  We will begin posting information about the Supportive Sisters that were selected prior to the start of our blog soon!

Favorite Delta Zeta Memory:

My favorite Delta Zeta moment is living in the house. I have loved getting to know my sisters on a different level. I love our late night chats and weekend adventures. But one of my ALL time favorite memories would be over winter break Jorden and I went to LA and on our way back we got stuck in a snow storm and were stranded there until the next day. On that day we were stuck in traffic for 12 hours and at a top speed of 3.6 MPH. Everything that happened that day was unimaginable and it is definitely unforgettable and is going down in the books for years to come. Now whenever Jorden and I think of this... we always bust into laughter!! :)

How do you define sisterhood/What does Delta Zeta mean to you?

Sisterhood is something that is truly a precious gift that everyone should take full advantage of. Sisterhood is a group of women who are there for you during your time of need and it’s also a support system to encourage you on your daily life. Sisterhood helps make me a better person and encourages me to live by the creed everyday. This sisterhood inspires me to be my personal best at all times and has brought me the best of friends that I don’t know what I would do without. Sisterhood is something that will ever change my life and I will be eternally grateful for. I love you sisters!  Ally is a fabulous sister!  She is always ready to help with anything and is very warm and inviting.  This semester she is dedicated to her classwork, volunteered at her high school coordinating their cheer leading try outs, hangs out with her precious dalmatian, and helped with Sigma Chi's Derby Days and Pi Kappa Alpha's Capture the Flag.

Favorite Delta Zeta Memory:

I don't think I have just one...I loved Sisterhood Retreat my new member semester, finding out I got Nicole as my big sis, and all the nights and random adventures. I think it's the little moments that mean the most to me. And initiation was definitely was the turning point when I fell in love with Delta Zeta and all the sisters.

How do you define sisterhood/What does Delta Zeta mean to you?

I would define sisterhood as being able to rely on your sisters whenever. I want my sisters to know that they can call me at three in the morning if they need a ride or just to talk. Delta Zeta means the world to me. I love the person I am becoming and I can't wait for all the years to come!

Nicole is always full of energy!  She is involved on the women's volleyball club team at SJSU and continues to do a lot of things for Delta Zeta.  She helped out with Sigma Chi's Derby Days, Pi Kappa Alpha's Capture the Flag and many others.  She is very giving of her time and helps out whenever she can.  Nicole is the current Dream Girl of Theta Chi Fraternity.

POV: Region X Weekend

Hey All,

I am so excited to be posting on this blog for Delta Zeta.  I have my own blog, but this is pretty cool :)

I am currently writing from my sweet hotel room at the Ayres Hotel in Hawthorne, CA.  It is beautiful here!  The weather is amazing, too.  It has been sunny and warm all weekend.

This is my first Region Weekend, and I am so glad that I came.  I will be graduating in December, so I am so thankful that I had this opportunity before becoming an alumnae member of Delta Zeta.

Delta Zetas from all over California, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada met up at Loyola Marymount University to share experiences and attend leadership development sessions.  Most importantly, we had a ton of fun.

The sixteen members of our chapter had a great time meeting sisters from other chapters.  We shared ideas, songs, cheers, and stories.  It was amazing to be able to see how Delta Zeta really is bigger than just the Gamma Lambda chapter.

We had the opportunity to meet amazing alumnae from all over the country.  We also met a Delta Zeta celebrity, hahahah.  The National President of Delta Zeta, Michelle Smith, was here.  It was amazing to see how Delta Zeta truly lasts forever.

We ended the weekend with line dancing.  Yes, that's it, we line danced with the NATIONAL PRESIDENT of Delta Zeta.  It was so fun!!!!

There is more to come soon, from other attendees.  We will post pictures too!

DZ Love,
