I joined Zeta Tau Alpha in the fall of 1999, and have rarely been without a “Zeta Job” since then.  Beginning as a freshman, I served my chapter as Alumnae/Collegiate Relations Chair, Historian, and Secretary.  The leadership opportunities offered to me by my sorority were invaluable in preparing me for the working world.  I learned more about working as a team, crisis and conflict management, scheduling, and budgets than in any course I could have taken.  Those positions also looked very nice on my graduate school applications!  In my alumna life, ZTA has continued to offer me the opportunity to serve and grow as a leader.  I have held several offices in my local alumnae chapters and have served as an advisor to the chapter at the University of South Carolina.  I now serve in a national office as District President and oversee all seven alumnae chapters in South Carolina.  I receive leadership training at national conferences and get to work with Zetas around the state.  It’s an excellent resume builder!  My Greek affiliation has provided me with education, growth, and sisterhood beyond my college years.
