zeta car wash again?

I recently made the mistake of driving through the Zeta Tau Alpha car wash, and I have to say, it was one of the most cringe-inducing experiences of my life. Picture this: girls parading around in thong bikinis, acting like washing cars is some form of empowerment. Spoiler alert—it’s not. It’s nothing more than a desperate bid for attention wrapped up in a thin veneer of “charity work.” The whole thing felt like a tacky, low-rent spectacle, the kind you’d expect from a sleazy spring break event, not an organization that’s supposed to uphold sisterhood and integrity.

Let’s be real—how is rubbing down a car in next-to-nothing supposed to be empowering? It’s objectifying and embarrassing, not only for the girls involved but for anyone who has to watch this sorry excuse for a fundraiser. If this is what Zeta considers a proud moment, then their standards are laughably low. I expected professionalism and class, and instead, I got a shameless display that felt more like an attempt to capitalize on being ogled. If you’re looking for substance and dignity, you won’t find it here—just a lot of soap, skin, and second-hand embarrassment.
