Is she a Zeta?

Okay did anyone watch surviver tonight? One of the women had a RUSH ZETA shirt on when she went to vote and I didn't know if anyone had any idea if she is a zeta and if so what zeta group?

You mean Zeta Phi Beta or Zeta Tau Alpha? I haven't watched since Richard won............

I don't know, it did't say all it said was RUSH ZETA. I should check the website because when Amber was on they had her AGD affliation.

I watch it with my grandmother ever week!

She's a ZTA, because she also wears a navy windbreaker that says ZTA (in letters) on the back. Sometimes you can see it in the background. Also, Jenna's luxury item (that's her name) is a "Zeta crown" (and the crown is one of ZTA's symbols)

I don't know...I checked her bio....says she went to Pitt.....and her luxury item was her Zeta crown....but no mention of which sorority....so I went to the Pitt website....and there is no sorority listed there that has Zeta in their name!

Maybe she transferred there from somewhere else...but I'm at a loss as to what sorority she's from...but it is cool (and good advertisement for her sorority) to see her letters on everything on Survivor!!

That was the one thing that Amber didn't do and that was sport AGD letters in the outback! Oh well, I just can't think of why I would have a crown as my item, I can think of so many better things (like a brita water bottle with the filter inside!)

I haven't been wathching the show, but according to the numbers, it looks like she is somewhere near last place.

WTF is a Zeta crown?

I think kddani had posted something about this. I think she is a transfer from Duquesne University (could be wrong) no Pitt doesn't have a ZTA chapter but at one point ( must have been quite some time ago) they did have one of their "single letter" chapters there.

A "Zeta Crown" for a Zeta Tau Alpha is any 5-pointed crown which holds special signifigance to us.
Looks like the Hallmark card company crown if that is any more help to you.

And of course she should not be showing her letters in a media publication such as a TV show without IO's approval...thank you ZTA guide to risk mngmt.

The "Zeta Crown" \^^^/ that Jenna brought with her was a painted, wooden crown that was signed by her chapter sisters (before she transferred schools). It was obviously brought for sentimental reasons!

She's a Zeta from Duquesne University (seriously right up the street from Pitt) and she transferred to Pitt.
I went to high school with her... didn't have the highest opinion of her then, still don't. But it is cool that she has publicized Zeta like that... Now if only she a) had permission, b) was being a little nicer/representing Zeta better. While the Zeta crown is neat and all, for a luxury item I think it's a little pointless.... but anyway, I could go on about this/her but i'll shut my mouth now.

I don't think she should have to have HQ's permission to wear something that she owns-no matter what it says on it. She is alum (correct me if I am wrong about that-I haven't followed it as closely as some), and she hasn't exactly done anything that would call for discipline. Just my opinion.

In NPC sororities, if you transfer to another school that doesn't have a chapter of your particular sorority, you technically become an alumna of your sorority, not "inactive." Many (though not all) NPC sororities don't even have an "inactive" status -- you're either active or alum. So you can still be a college student yet be a sorority alumna.

The thing with "asking permission" to wear letters isn't so much about asking permission; it's about saying, These letters are mine, they're thousands of other women's, will anyone find it offensive if I wear them in this forum?

I think the point is just to show respect.
