Oh Hey There Blogosphere,
We realize we have been a little behind with regularly updating our page. But have no fear, recruitment is over and we are ready to focus our attention on our chapter activities.
Today we began our weekly chapter meetings for the Fall semester. These meetings are crucial for Delta Zeta because they are the one time each week that all of our members are together. At these meetings we review official sorority business, go over plans for the semester and provide our members with information relating to academics, university policy, health and safety, and so much more.
Tonight, after chapter, we had Turtle Pal revealing. Turtle Pals are pen pals that each of our new members have their first week in Delta Zeta. They write letters back and forth, and get cool gifts. We will post pictures from TP revealing soon.
Another wonderful thing about today was that Panhellenic Council, the governing body of the general interest sororities, held their first board meeting. At these meetings, each Panhellenic officer, Interfraternity Council, Fraternity and Sorority Life and each sorority make reports and update us on what is going on in the community. It seems like this is going to be one busy, but exciting, semester!
Delta Zeta is proud to have so many women involved with Panhellenic Council. In addition to our chapter Panhellenic Delegate, Jenny, and President, who attend these weekly meetings, three DZ members serve the sorority community as members of the Panhellenic Executive Board. We are so proud to have our members representing the entire sorority community. Here is a little about them and their positions:
Natalie, Vice President of Membership Recruitment and Retention: Natalie is responsible for the planning and execution of all formal recruitment activities, educates the community on recruitment and retention policy, chairs the Panhellenic Recruitment Committee and communicates frequently with the National Panhellenic Conference. Natalie is also the Social Chairwoman for Delta Zeta.

The Panhellenic Creed:
"We, the undergraduate members of women's fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.
We, the fraternity women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live."
