Hmmm...that's a toughy. I would have to say my Alpha Phi flipflops. I wear them whenever I can and have gotten some nice tan lines on my feet from them!

My Badge

My Membership certificate

My paddle that my lil sis made for me and my pillow that my big sis made for me

A family picture taken this year - I came back and my family suddenly got huge!

I had a lavalier and never took it off but the chain broke one day I lost it. And I'm hoping to get an afghan for my birthday this year!

This is a tough question!

1. My badge and chapter guard. Obviously, this is the most special thing we have.

2. The plaque my Little made me this year. She went to a lot of effort, and it shows. I've got it in the spot of honour on my wall, right below my composite for the year and between my plaques from my 2 Bigs.

3. My SAI windbreaker. My folks gave it to me for Easter, and it matches my SAI cap perfectly, and I wear it all over the place.

4. My lavalier. I wear it all over the place, except when it isn't appropriate, and it really keeps our meaning close to my heart.

My tattoo and my badges (9 of them so far) are at the top of my list.

I collect all sorts of old Zeta memorabilia. The 1930 campus scholarship trophy for our chapter at U of Missouri at Columbia(very Art Deco) and the fake transistor radio with "Rye" and "Whiskey" bottles inside and "ZTA" outside (from Prohibition?) are very cool.

RadioZTA, do you have a picture of your tattoo? I'm eternally fascinated by them.

radioZTA · #51 05-27-2003, 04:54 PM

No, I don't. Never thought about it. Hmm.

It's about the size of a quarter just above my right ankle on the inside. In dark blue ink are the letters ZTA, with a dark gold, five-pointed crown above it, outlined in dark blue. A band-aid perfectly covers it if needed. =)

I got another tattoo when I turned 36. I've always used a fleur-de-lis as one of my personal symbols in honor of my maiden name so I got that put on. We didn't have KKG's on my campus so I never knew that was one of your symbols. When a Zeta friend saw my new tattoo for the first time, she asked me if I wanted to become a Kappa. I had no idea what she was talking about but we had a good laugh once she explained. I have a necklace that has alternating 5-point crown and fleur-de-lis charms so I guess I must like Kappas whether I knew it or not.

Radiozta...you have 9 ZTA badges????

Do you wear them all (not at the same time)?
Do they each have some special meaning?

I have heard of people having two of their sorority badges but not 9!!! wow!

sugar and spice · #57 05-28-2003, 03:09 AM

1) my badge
2) my first set of letters -- a gray hooded sweatshirt with sky blue Deltas
3) my all-Greek tee shirt that says "UW Greeks: In a League of Their Own" on the front and lists all the fraternities and sororities on the back

Things I really really want:
1) Tri Delta flip-flops!
2) my paddle (in our chapter, we get them from our littles, and I don't have one yet!)

My favorite thing to wear would be my lavalier, I never take it off, unless I can't wear it (like if I'm disaffiliated, or out at a bar). Last year I was a Pi Chi and couldn't wear it all summer long, so I gave it to my little to wear until bid day. On that bid day, she gave me my other favorite KD thing, a paddle. She put this priceless picture in the frame, and it is so nicely done. I started bawling, I was so suprised, and so glad to be back with my sisters.

Edited to add: I forgot! I also love the pillowcase that my big sister made for me that I received at a special ceremony before initiation. It was a huge suprise and she did a great job. It says "Dream Tonight of Kappa Delta" which is one of our songs, and it hangs on the wall above my bed. It's one of my favorite traditions in my chapter.

(4) A crystal sailboat that one of my best guy friends got me for Christmas 2 years ago!
