Texas Zeta Day 2013



President Lauren Kraut 
This past weekend, February 15th-16th, Kappa chapter attended Texas Zeta Day in Houston along with twelve other Texas Zeta chapters. We kicked off the weekend with officer training on Friday night at the Westin in Memorial City. For a few hours each member of exec was able to chat with her fellow officer of other chapters. During “conversation cafĂ©” we got to exchange ideas, concerns, future goals, and proposals.  The Saturday morning session started off with lovely ritual services and various chapter awards. Kappa chapter won the “maximum chapter size” award along with various other chapters. Our own rituals chair, Maddy McGlamery, participated in one of the ritual ceremonies and made a lovely speech. After a short break, all of the attendees flooded the ballroom for the luncheon. The wonderful Lynn Chapman, VP Collegiate II, made a speech alluding to the Wizard of Oz filled with great advice for collegians and alumni alike. Then, the award ceremony began. Each district president presented her respective district with the superior chapter award. Our Province President, Kat Evans, awarded our chapter with the Province XI-B Special Recognition award! Much to our surprise, we also won the Kathy Benzini Stampe Chapter Excellence Award for the most outstanding chapter in the state of Texas- what a HUGE honor! Two in one Zeta Days, that’s a record for us J. After the luncheon, executive council strolled around the nearby mall until afternoon officer training. For a few hours each officer split up for breakout sessions with leadership consultants and national officers. Overall, the weekend was a huge success! Our executive council and program council got to spend quality time together and strengthen our sisterhood, while at the same time building leadership skills and participating with our national fraternity. I’m excited to see what National Leadership Convention has to hold in July!
