UT Zetas Visit TCU Zetas

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to talk to two of my Zeta sisters about the recent trip they took to Fort Worth for the TCU vs. UT football game. 181 miles, 196 minutes, and cities away is quite a far distance, but the bond of Zeta Tau Alpha sisters remains strong. In support of the Longhorn Football team, many Zetas took the trip the Texas Christian University and drove a few hours in pursuit of a victory. Upon arrival, many Zetas,

including PC '12 sophomore Lindsay Kridler met up with friends and zistas from Texas Christian University. “My best friend Abby goes to Texas Christian University and coincidentally she became a Zeta!” Lindsay arrived at her friend’s apartment with an overwhelming welcome from other TCU Zetas. She commented, “It was so nice to meet my sisters from other schools.” Lindsay added that they all shared stories about their chapter, the girls in them, and found wonderful resemblances between the two.

Similarly, PC '12 sophomore Lauren Vela More stayed with a Zeta when she visited TCU. Lauren said, “It was really nice going to the game and staying with someone I felt completely comfortable with.” Lauren said that she and her friend Rachel shared stories about their recruitment. Each of them had a different reason why they ended up at Zeta Tau Alpha, but they could not be happier with their decision. Lauren loves how, “there are different aspects of both sororities, but we come together because we share a deeper bond.”

Both girls got to enjoy a Halloween event with their Zeta sisters. They all dressed up, some like Lindsay sported Zeta gear, and they met other people from TCU. Lindsay said, “I loved getting approached by a random Zeta with a hug, it was so welcoming.” Lauren agreed and loved that the girls were so friendly and excited to meet other Zetas. Lauren added, “You would never expect our chapters to be so similar, but our chapter personality and love of Zeta are one in the same.” Even at the game, Lindsay commented, “girls kept coming up to me and introducing themselves, excited to get to know other Texas Zetas.”

As the game ended with a victory for the University of Texas, the girls still enjoyed their time with their TCU friends and other Zetas. Both girls loved that they are able to be involved in such a connected and active sorority. Zeta Tau Alpha believes that there is a “harmony of the Fraternity at heart.” This past weekend Lauren and Lindsay would agree that Zetas came together and felt this harmony for a fraternity that is the nearest to their heart.
