I'm not sure which alumnae chapter is closest to Northwestern, but ZTA has 12 Alumane Chapters in the state of Illinois, 4 in the Chicago area. While it's true we have many southern chapters, we have chapters all over the country. So please don't say we're better suited in one area. My small northern chapter had fabulous alumnae from big schools & smaller schools and it was a great match. We were happy to have local support. Zeta is continuing select girls to be Traveling Leadership Consultants from all different sized chapters and locations. I realize that our image may be one way but I just would like to point out another side.

I totally understand what you are saying, and your right, I guess I didn't totally think that out, I'm sorry.

I agree with this. It's nice to see a recolonization effort taking place.

SDT 1970

Many from the "icky" years - late 60s - early 70s!

Including all three that presented.

The "icky" years up here (NY) was the 70's-early 80's....why were we so much later?
