I want to preface this by saying that I'm not writing this to bash ZTA or tell everyone to rush an alternative sorority. I simply want to share my story as to why I chose ZTA and why I ultimately ended up dropping. I was a zeta for a year before I finally dropped. Joining a sisterhood, I always hoped I would meet girls who would be my lifelong friends and supporters. I fell in love with the idea of having true sisters who I could rely on and would be as loyal to me as I was to them. During recruitment, zeta appeared to portray everything I wanted in my "forever home". However, I quickly found out that loyalty and the idea of sisterhood, in general, wasn't high on their priority list. Soon after bid day the girls became very cliquey and seemed to disregard everything that didn't have to do with partying and drinking. The girls would constantly talk bad about each other and fight over frat boys (HUGE eye roll). On another note, some of the girls were super friendly and genuine and they're the reason I stayed in for as long as I did. Unfortunately, those girls ended up dropping once they saw what the other ones were about. I don't regret being a part of ZTA because I feel that if I hadn't, I would have always wondered if I was missing out. Now, I can confidently know that I'm better off not associated with many of those individuals. It saddens me to see how much their reputation has gone downhill. They've found cocaine in the bathrooms of their formals, posted snapchats of girls drinking and driving, and taken videos of their girls blackout drunk at parties. ZTA will always hold a special place in my heart and I truly hope they can turn their reputation around because i'll always have love for some of the girls in that chapter.
