Why I Chose Zeta Tau Alpha
Hailey Usher

Four years ago I was a freshmen in college and knew no one. Some of my hall mates and I decided to attend sorority information nights where you meet all the members of each sorority at our university. Coming to college I never thought I would go through the whole recruitment process much less join a sorority!

As a potential new member I was excited for the whole recruitment process and when each night got closer to bid day I felt myself drawn to one sorority in particular. I never thought when I would except my bid to become a sister of Zeta Tau Alpha how much my life would change, and for the better! I've been an active member in my chapter for four years, and it's really true what they say you get what you put into things! I'm so happy I put in the effort to be involved with Zeta, because I've grown as a young woman and my confidence has boosted.

I encourage everyone who is in a sorority to apply for positions and become involved, instead of just being a number or being that sister who just wears the letters. Because I've held various position in my chapter I've grown a different love for Zeta and these positions have taught me leadership skills I can carry on into my career.

I ask my sorority sisters why they chose Zeta Tau Alpha over any other sororities, and this is what they had to say:

"I love ZTA because it opens up new opportunities for me, helps me become a better person all-around, and gives me life-long friendships." - Sarah Lewis

"Loving Zeta Tau Alpha is not just about loving a person or a thing, it's about loving the values and aspects of an organization that bonds women together for a lifetime. My love for Zeta is unconditional. I wouldn't want my life to turn out any other way than being an amazing Zeta lady." -Sarah Campbell

"I love Zeta Tau Alpha because of the endless opportunities it has given me, how it has strengthened my leadership skills, and given me lifelong friendships with amazing women!" -Emily Batton

"I chose Zeta because I knew that I would be welcomed into a new world of life long friends. The feeling of having sisters that always have my back is indescribable and irreplaceable." -Samantha Gomez

"I love Zeta because I love being apart of something bigger than me. I love the environment and I love all my sisters and the bond we all share." -Breanna Jackson

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
