Aggie Zeta's
 

I posted this under Zeta, but I didn't really get any replies so here it goes again. Are there any Zeta Tau Alpha's out there from A&M, College Station? I'm curious to hear what being a Zeta at A&M is like & to see if it would be right for me.
Thanks a million

Het there QT pie, I'm not from Texas A&M but I am a Zeta Tau Alpha. Kappa Kappa chapter at SUU. just wanted to say hi to ya and tell ya that being a zeta is great is is very fullfilling and what we stand for is great too.

Hey! I'm a Zeta Tau Alpha from the University of Houston.. right down the street from A&M.
The Zetas from A&M that I know are very nice.. and of course they are the biggest and the best on campus, because if life were fair.... everyone would be a Zeta!!!!

I am a tranfer student at U of H and wanted to know a little more about how spring rush goes. I am very interested in rushing and i love the symbols and colors of ZTA!!

hey bucutie02
I haven't checked this thread in a while (eventhough I started it). I'll be rushing at SHSU in the spring & I know that up there spring rush is informal. I have no idea what it's like at U of H. You might want to try e-mailing some of the other members on the board from U of H or even checking out their local website. That's how I met the Zetas at SHSU. Hope that helped.

Hey Q-T Pie! What school do you go to now? Its nice to hear from someone so close to where I am. I was formally on drill team during high school and every summer we would go up to SHSU for camp! Even though i always hated going because it always felt like "boot camp", my memories will last me a lifetime http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Okay, and another question for you is, are you in a sorority at your present school?

bucutie02
Well I'm currently at Montgomery County (up in Conroe) No I'm not in a sorority now, but plan to rush ZTA at SHSU. LOL about your drill team "boot camp" I know what that's like http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gifI think I saw in another thread that you said U of H's spring rush is informal. I don't know alot about informal vs formal because everything I've heard has come from informal rushees. Your best bet (in my opinion) would be to contact some of the Zetas, eventhough, I think you said the one in your class doesn't talk to anybody. (That's kinda like me in class I'm a mute, but out of it...well..it's a site to see) You may be surprised to find that ZTA is where you think you belong or where you couldn't even picture yourself. If you wanna chat e-mail me anytime http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Allison!
Thanks for your great advice! I have actually been emailing this girl that is a Phi Mu. I dont know her personally but when i was looking at the guestbook of DZ, she happened to sign it saying she was going to go through rush this past fall. I emailed her asking how rush went for her. She has been a great help in answering so many of my questions!! So are you set on rushing Zeta? I am going to go through informal rush, which is mainly for girls who pretty much know what house they want to be in... but i really dont know which one i want to be in! I guess i still have some time to decide! Hopefully come January i will have some type of idea. Well there are like three AXO in this class i was talking about, but they sit completely on the other side of the room. The ZTA and the two DG's sit on my side. I think im going to be brave and try to sit close to where i predict either the ZTA or the DG's will sit. If all works out well, i might squeeze in a word or two to one of them! hehe ... my class is on tuesdays and thursdays so i will let you know!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I hope everyone is having a great weekend!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey there bucutie02
Looks like I got on just after you http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gifI think it's great that you found someone to talk to about rush up there(or is it down there?)! Are ya'll going to meet someday & chat? I find it so much easier when I'm talking instead of typing. Anywho, I'm not dead set on rushing ZTA. I'll probably talk to & visit a few girls from the other sororities, but unless I'm super duper impressed then I'll more than likely rush ZTA. I'm my opinion the girls are awesome & I was interested in helping the philantropy before I even knew it was theirs. That was just like an added bonus. The fact that my cousin is friends with most of & dated many of the girls helps too http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I know you said you were planning to slip a word to either of the two girls on your side, but have you talked to any of the AXOs? One good thing is that if you meet one, you'll more than likely meet the other two. I hope you can talk to at least one of the girls from one of the sororities!! If you want you can e-mail me with what happens, but I'd really like to know how things turn out. Keep me posted.

Allison

Hey Allison!
Yeah it did look like we just missed each other. I am fairly new to this but i am loving every second of it! Is there a way we can chat if we are online at the same time on this thing? If not i have AOL instant messanger. The girl i am talking to through email is so nice!! Phi Mu is beginning to call my attention because of her. If all her sorority sisters are as sweet as her, than its an awesome sorority! Of course i dont know her in person yet, she hasnt brought that up since we have emailed each other only a couple of times.. but you never know, we could end up meeting one day! I also went ahead and emailed the other sororities that I found email addresses to last night, hopefully they will write me back! Well to answer your question, i havent talked to any sorority member at my school except for the one in Phi Mu, and thats just via email. I read your other posts in this topic and you were asking about Zetas at A&M. Is that where you were thinking of transferring before you were set on SHSU? Also, have you hung out with the ZTA's there already? Like, they actually know you and stuff? I want to know if there are any members here that are in sororities at U of H, but how do i go about that? One more question i have is that in other topics they mention something about GLO's and BGLO's. What is that???? hehe http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Well have a great day and talk to you soon!!

I also have Instant Messanger too. My SN is Jolly Molly 83 if you want to chat. That's so good to hear that the girl you're talking to is a sweetheart! It makes it so much easier to talk to people when they're nice. I’m glad you got around to e-mailing the other sororities. I did that for the main sororities at Sam Houston when I decided to transfer there (because A&M just wasn't for me). I only heard back from ZTA which is probably one of the reasons I became interested in them. To be honest I've only met a few girls from the other sororities, so like I said I'll probably visit a few of them & things like that during or even before rush, but right now it's more than likely ZTA. Yeah I've hung out with the girls & they are the sweetest. You really get to know what they’re like just by having lunch. About finding people on the board from U oh H, I don’t really know a definite way. I’d say just post one thread under Greeklife. Hopefully you’ll get a few responses from that. On the GLO, BGLO thing, I’m not positive, but I think the main difference is that BGLOs are made up of mostly African Americans. I’m NOT for sure on that, so I hope I don’t offend if I’m wrong. There are so many threads on that under the Greeklife heading. If you can’t find anything, then you can start a new thread asking. Well, Hope to talk to you soon.

Hey Allison!
Everytime i type in your name you remind me of a really close friend i have, her name is allison too! She happens to be a kappa delta at baylor university! Well the Phi Mu that i talk to is really sweet like i have already said. So far, i have only heard from this girl who is in Phi Mu and also from two alpha chis. Oh you know what? It is so weird that i JUST remembered that i know a ZTA at SHSU. I dont really keep in touch with her now because we werent really close friends, but she is the sweetest girl. We were both officers in drill team. Our junior year she was vice president and i was historian. Our senior year i decided to not try out for officer anymore because everyone's senior year is already stressful enough, but she went on to become president. I wonder if you know her, her name is Jennifer Myer. Let me know!! Bye!

Hey Allison and Roseanna,
I was reading your posts and I was just wondering if you girls ended up going through Rush and where you ended up if you did. Keep me posted

Hey Zeta_Girl,
I'm not rushing until this spring. I'll be at SHSU and am so excited about it. I actually just got back from my first dinner at the Zeta house and had so much fun. It only lasted about an hour, but it was great and I'll be back up there next Monday. I've never had that many people just come up and introduce themselves and strike up a conversation, especially when they're girls. Can I ask where you go to school at? Just curious if you're close. Thanks for asking about us though. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Allison

Hey Zeta_Girl,
I am sorry it has taken me a while to respond to you. Sometimes i forget i have other posts going on besides in the general forums. Well like Allison, I am not rushing until the spring. Also unlike Allison, i havent met any members yet http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif Although I have gotten contact with them by email, so they have my name for informal rush contact information. I am not 100% sure which sorority i am fully interested in either. I'll keep you posted though! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Rosanna
I've been meaning to post this for days, but last week I met a Zeta from U of H that works at the Gap up here at the mall. I told her I knew someone who was planning on rushing & to look out for you! She seemed really nice, but meeting her was proof that sororites are different on each campus..I wouldn't have guessed http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Talk to you soon http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Dear Allison,
Really? you did? how awesome is that! how did you meet her and find out she is a Zeta? Wow, she works at a mall up there but goes to U of H? Do you want to email me? I will go ahead and give you my address in an email. Talk to you soon!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Allison,
I tried to email you but it said that your inbox was too full. Try to email me if you can at Rosanna@pdq.net thanks!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Q-T pie
How are things going? I'm a zeta at Valdosta State, (in Georgia) So it's not close to SHSU but that is alright. So you had fun at your first dinner at the Zeta house? Well good luck going through rush!

"Only The Best Get Crowned"

Hey Zeta_Girl
Things down here are going great! I had such a blast at the dinner, but was sadly unable to make it to the second one. The girl that invited me couldn't make it, but I still had so much fun at the one I attended. I am so glad to finally have more than one gal friend http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I love ya'lls site by the way, and was surprised that Valdosta doesn't have many sororites (just like Sam!) So what made you choose ZTA? I was just wondering what made you KNOW that Zeta is where you belong. Talk to you soon.

Allison

Q-T Pie-
It's actually an interesting story on why I chose Zeta. It started my senior year in high school. My boyfriend's older brother brought a girl home with him who he was dating (his older brother was attending the college that I'd be at in the fall). I met this girl and she happened to be a Zeta. She told me all this great stuff about Zeta and why I had to join. So, when recruitment came around, I already knew what sorority I wanted to be in. Also, that summer, a girl I worked with was also a Zeta at my college and my freshman orientation leader was a Zeta. These girls helped me see how awesome Zeta is. Oh, an interesting little tidbit for you: the girl who my boyfriend's older brother was dating is now my big sister. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Q-Tpie
Yeah we (in valdosta) do not have many sororities. Well to answer your quiestion " Why did I join Zeta" well when I was going through rush, and went to ZTA's parties, all the girls seemed to be "real" I am Not trashing any other soroities, but the zeta girls seemed that they weren't putting on a show. The way I looked at it, I wanted to join a group that didn't put up a front. The girls were really staight forward. I remember the day that I knew Zeta was for me, durring skit day of rush, at the end the girls sang a real sweet song while holding hands with one another, They all begain to cry. The song was about true sisterhood. From that moment on I knew I wanted to be a zeta tau alpha.
I'll talk to you soon.

Q-T Pie-
Have you gone through spring rush yet? Update us and let us know! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey, Q-T Pie! I'm glad to hear that you're psyched about fall rush--and I hope you get your top choice! Sometimes these things really do work out for the best!

Zeta Girl--our family drove through the Valdosta campus last month to show our daughter the awesome Spanish architecture and get her even more excited about possibly going there--although no one was there at the time! She loved it and I showed her the sorority websites when we got home. Now she can't wait for fall 2002! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I am soo sorry you guys..Things have been beyond crazy and have kept me away from the board. Well, here goes my sad rush story. For some reason Sam Houston didn't have sign up for the sororities this semester like they did the fraternities, so basically it was a fend for yourself rush. This wasn't really a problem since I was going Zeta anyway. Well, I was called and invited to the first dinner, but showed up about 20 minutes late because of a traffic accident. I got there in time to eat & do the circle introduction, but my friend forgot to get me to fill out an info sheet. I wasn't able to meet as many girls as last semester, but still had a nice time. I was told about the next party, but because of complications I got a really messed up schedule and have to take night classes. I wasn't able to make it to the 2nd rush party & since I hadn't filled out an info sheet, I wasn't called for the next dinner & then wasn't able to go to the last bowling party. When my friend called me, we talked for a while about everything that had happened and about my money situation, and how I'm in the process of moving & just how messed up my schedule was. She said that eventhough I've been waiting so long to rush she really suggested that I wait until the fall. She said that if I wait then I could go out with the girls & meet them all & meet girls from other sororities just to make sure that Zeta is for me. Eventhough this isn't exactly what I wanted, I suppose this happened for a reason. So sadly I didn't get to join, but I am still excited about having a semester to meet everyone & to get everything worked out. Sorry again for not being on the board for so long. I hope to chat with ya'll soon & thanks for asking about me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hello Allison! So how did things go? Are you a Zeta now?

Hi Everyone
I am so sorry for not being on the board for a while. I have been so busy with work & school that I rarely find the time to check e-mail let alone the board. Well, so much has happened since I was last on. I did go through rush (sort of). Because of a few mix ups I didn't know about a few parties & others conflicted with my class schedule. Since I had so many problems when transfering I got a really bad schedule & if I was to pledge I wouldn't be able to make the meetings at all. All of that plus my moving around & just having alot of transition things to take care of really made it hard. I had a long talk with a good friend & one of the first Zeta's I met & we decided that I should wait until the fall. It was a really hard decision since I've been working on this for over a year, but I finally did decide to wait. There was only 1 or 2 slots open (I'm not sure what they're called) & because of all the problems, it would have been hard for me to get a bid. By this summer I will be living up there & have everything in order. I can't wait!! I was unsure for a while, but after the wait I've decided to go for it. I know this happened for a reason & am thankful for the time. Well sorry to go on so long, but thanks for asking!! Hope to talk to ya'll soon & nice to see new blood on the board Sweetie Pie. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
