"... to prepare for service and learn the nobility of serving..."
| In 1928, residents in rural communities of the Appalachian Mountains of Virgina were the first to benefit from ZTA's philanthropic efforts. Zetas aided the people of Currin Calley in Smith City, Virginia, where ZTA adopted the Cerebral Palsy Division of the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults. Later, ZTA adopted Easter Seals. In 1970, ZTA formed an alliance with the Association for Retarded Citizens (now known as The ARC) as its national philanthropy. Over the years, in addition to its designated national philanthropy, Zeta Tau Alpha has also supported the Red Cross, the Sunshine Kids Foundation and Reading is Fundamental, Inc. |
| Philanthropy Day |
| In 1992, ZTA adopted the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation as its national philanthropy. Later, the Fraternity broadened its focus to encompass not only the Komen Foundation, but also other educational means dedicated to fighting breast cancer through education, awareness, and promoting breast health. Furthermore, each alumnae and collegiate chapter generally volunteer with one or more local philanthropy of its choosing in addition to their support of the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation and ZTA's national philanthropy. |
| Race for the Cure 2006 |
| Every year our chapter participates in Race for the Cure in San Antonio. At Race for the Cure we assist the survivor booth and also walk in the race. |
| Not only does our chapter participate in our national philanthropy, but we also participate in service projects around our community. Every Halloween we turn our house into a spooky Halloween scene. We give underprivileged children the opportunity to Trick-or-Treat in a safe environment. Every one in the chapter dresses up and passes our candy to all the children. Also, every Easter Zeta Tau Alpha along with Lambda Chi Alpha create a Easter Egg Hunt for the children of San Marcos. Together we stuff Easter Eggs full with candy and a Lambda Chi even dresses up like a bunny! |
| Congratulations ZTA for donating the most money to our philanthropy out of all Texas State Greeks!!!! |
