Your non-greek friend gives you a little Vera Bradley coinpurse in grays and turquoise and for a second you think, "How'd she know...?"

Too funny!!! I would think the same thing! Do they exist - I want one!

Look at the Java Blue pattern...turquoises, a little grey, and browns. I don't really like VB stuff as a general rule, but this is quite pretty. Not quite 100% ZTA colors, but close.

A friend of mine has a bag in this color! I usually don't like Vera Bradley either (I'm a Coach and Kate Spade girl) but that is a pretty pattern since those colors go so well together!

You know you're a Zeta

...when you burst out crying any time you hear the song "Feels Like Home."

...whenever someone says the world "love" and you immediately want to yell "the greatest of all things!"

...when you love Easter time because of all the bunnies! (Though I think that's just a southern thing)

...when you insist to your science professors that T-A-U is not pronounced like the first part of "towel" and you cringe listening to them.

And *personal experience here* you know you're an ultimate Zeta nerd when you meet 3 people whose names are Sarah, Courtney, and Whitney and you think "How cute! Sarah Strawberry, Courtney Crown, and Whitney White Violet!"

A-Men Sister!!!!

I wanna cry just thinking about it!!! :o

....when "It Feels Like Home" is a song in your wedding video and its the one that really makes you bawl

For me, it's "I Would Give Everything I Own" (I think that's what it's called) by Bread. Before I heard this song on the rush video when I went through as a PNM, it was my parents' song (heck, their BAND since everything by them is their song) but now it reminds me of pledging Zeta :)

This is my first dance song! (Actually the version from How to Lose a Guy in 10 days) First movie my fiance and I watched on a date.

We didn't use it at my chapter, now I wish we had. It is beautiful!


We sang this while I was still a collegiate at our chapter's 15-year anniversary to the alumnae. Needless to say, there were a heck of a lot of tears from everyone.

what is sarah strawberry, courtney crown and whitney white violet? is it something your chapter does?

and i never ever thought of that vera pattern as ZTAish, but i have a purse in that pattern. my chapter bought the napkins in the new hope pattern and we made letter shirts out of them, since parts of the proceeds go to breast cancer research.

this list is great!

- Look for strawberry items of any kind on ebay
- Look for crown items on ebay
- Impulse buy things just because they may be turquiose (bonus for crown, violet, or strawberry)
- Anything that contains a combo of the items listed above
- Spent time making your own special pin box (just finished making mine! post pics?)

*Seriously I just got strawberry scented pink lotion because it also had a silver crown on the bottle. Meh, you always need more lotion.

Yes please on the pics! Who knows, you may start a home buisness if they're super cute! ;)

I get teary-eyed just singing that song in my head now - and singing it to the alumnae, that's so sweet!!!

The Pin Box
 

The pin inside is my loaner pin until mine comes in. I have a 10K YG Emeralds with Diamond points badge comming in. It is going to be soo pretty!

haha no, it was just me realizing that the 3 girls' names each started with the same letter as one of our symbols. I suppose my zeta nerdiness is worse than I thought!
