ZTA Dad's Weekend Success

            They say it takes the best to make the best and this weekend that statement was proven true. Our chapter welcomed over one hundred and fifty of the greatest dads this weekend.

            We started the weekend out at Lucy’s Retired Surfer Bar and Restaurant where Zeta’s and their dads enjoyed delicious food and spent the night dancing to songs played by our wonderful DJ.  With their cowboy boots on everyone was two stepping on the dance floor long after midnight. It was the perfect father/daughter dance, ZTA style. Brightly colored daisies in old mason jars decorated the table and set the ambiance for the night. Not too long after arriving, the entire restaurant was filled as we rented out Lucy's so Zeta’s could spend the whole night with their sisters and their dad’s.

            On Saturday, we started the day out right with a University of Texas baseball game. In our section reserved only for Zeta’s, the girls and their dad’s enjoyed the sunshine, cool weather, and some good old fashioned Saturday baseball. With over a hundred and thirty Zeta’s and dads in attendance, we definitely stood out in the crowd cheering on our boys. Some of our Zeta’s were even put up on the big screen in front of the entire stadium! The game could not have ended any better with a big win for our team against Nebraska.

            Directly after the baseball game, we headed to the Zeta house for a backyard crawfish boil. With over seven hundred and fifty pounds of crawfish and over two hundred people, there was not one crawfish left to eat as the girls and dads chowed down. Lemonade, water, and sweet tea were the perfect southern refreshments to go along with our long picnic styled tables covered in red-checkered cloth. We truly gave our dad’s a taste of a southern crawfish boil at the Zeta house with freshly boiled crawfish cooked right in the backyard. The dads also received a first hand look at the Zeta house where their daughters were able to give them tours of the entire house!

            Overall we consider this weekend a huge success and can’t wait to have our dads back for round two next year! It truly does take the best to make the best!
