What every Zeta must have

A Zeta jacket to represent

A bottle of Opium Perfume... :)
A beige coach bag... :cool:
An Anne Klein Bracelet watch... :)
And of course, a cat. :D

Just a few that come to mind

In no particular order:
A college education
Dedication
Persistence
A sense of humor
Understanding
A love for the community
An open mind

A belief in the four principles that set Zeta apart
An appreciation for the legacy of our wonderful founders
Integrity
A sense of justice
A whole lotta patience, tenacity, and commitment.

Sorors these are great answers. I meant in 'nalia, but these are great answers as well.

Ooops. LOL!:D
Bracelet or ring. I had a bracelet but it broke....:(

A Zeta cap for those lazy hair days.

A cap is NOT to be worn on a "laZy" hair day. Zetas do not have "laZy" hair dayZ. We are Finer Women.

Oooh! I'm gonna call CHW and DC

I KNOW YOU KNOW BETTER! Thou shall NOT use Zeta paraphenalia to cover a bad hair day. Learn how to wrap your hair with fabric Soror. ;)

Forgive me sorors, You are right!, let me clarrify also. When I say a lazy hair day, that means I'm wearing a ponytail (I know sorors, that's lazy) I'm getting away from those (old favorite). If I wear my cap I let my hair through the opening in the back of my cap (which I've always done and may not be proper). Usually I wear my hair twisted in the back with a clip which is a favorite for me, but whether I wear my cap or not, I NEVER go out the house with my hair jacked up, (ponytail included) in the name of Zeta or otherwise. Thank you pretty kitty and Finerwoman for the correction, Zetas don't have lazy hair days and para should not be worn if you aren't looking your best.

And Thank YOU Soror Purrlz for responding only as a FinerWoman could. You are indeed an example for other Sorors to follow.

I liked ALL the ways Sorors thought about this question, so...
Para:
1. A Royal Blue Suit and An Uninterrupted Pure White Dress/Suit
2. A Sorority scarf and/or Kente cloth
3. A Royal Blue and/or White Ball Gown
4. A quality, innovative Zeta t-shirt
5. A single piece of Sorority jewelry OTHER THAN your Badge or pin (Dove1920: I have my college class ring that has the Sorority letters etched into the stone, a gold bracelet, AND a gold/diamond/sapphire Zeta pendant. I wear the pendant almost daily :)).

Other attire (I'm biting off of DopeZeta somewhat):
1. A top-grain, quality leather (or fabric if leather is not your thing) bag/purse
2. A PDA or functional day planner
3. Business cards and a business card holder (if you do not need business cards for your job, you should always at least have Zeta cards for networking/communicating--I use both)
4. A string of Pearls and a simple, elegant pair of earrings (gold, silver, platinum or fake, who cares ;))
5. A classic fragrance

Personality (biting off of Dove1920 and Giggy):
1. The ability to think strategically (create a plan) and execute tactically (then produce results from the plan)
2. An interest in reflecting upon, promoting and incorporating the four Zeta principles in your daily life
3. Integrity...integrity...integrity
4.The ability to think outside the box and the capacity and desire to accept CHANGE
5. An empathic nature

I KNOW from where you were made ;) You know you are my girl. I am still looking forward to our re-aquaitance... you as my Soror. I may try to make it down to DC around Founders' Day.

...Shel, as alwayZ you summed it up!

A heavy Zeta sweatshirt for those chilly Southern Cali evenings at the beach.
