Hi! Caroline here. I know recruitment can seem chaotic, and for those of you that are adjusting to life in a new city, it can feel impossible to keep up with everything that’s happening on social media. To make life simpler, I’ve compiled a list of accounts that will keep you involved with events both inside of Texas ZTA and university-wide!
@texaszta
Welcome to the University of Texas Zeta Tau Alpha chapter’s very own Instagram page! You’ll find that @texaszta is full of shout-outs to outstanding members, pictures from abroad, and recognition for academic performance (including our special 4.0 dinner). That’s not all! The @texaszta Instagram also provides a way for us to reach UT students interested in sorority recruitment, to display our members’ achievements, and to connect and communicate with other ZTA chapters across the nation. Follow @texaszta to stay in the loop as recruitment approaches! You can also search through the tagged photos to see other Zetas’ Instagram accounts.
First thing’s first: Food!
@fatandhappy.atx
Created by two of our very own PC’16 Zetas (@jantonio and @caitycallan), this foodstagram keeps your feed filled with treats and eats found around Austin. This account makes it easy to find the hot food spots in Austin without having to consult Yelp. Impress your new roommates with knowledge about these places to grab a bite.
@juliet_ate_romeo
This incredible account was developed by PC’11 Zeta alumna Juliet Mullins. With over 21,000 followers, this delicious Instagram helped Juliet score a job as a program manager for UberEats. Now her delicious uploads come from all over, including the Middle East and Amsterdam. No worries though, Austin is the main focus of this foodie page!
Going abroad? Count me in!
@melrice16 @melissa_rudd @whitweiss @julia15jem @laurenhaley_9
Melanie Rice, Melissa Rudd, Whitney Weiss, Julia McKnight, and Lauren Haley are all headed to spend the summer in Barcelona, Spain to complete classes and learn about the culture.. Talk about smart cookies! Not only will they be taking classes in Barcelona, but they’ll be able to practice their language skills and learn about life in Spain.
@caitycallan
Caity is spending her summer in LA where she has two internships -- one in casting for Fox and another in creative development for Skydance. (Yes, they made Star Trek, Mission Impossible, and World War Z). Follow her to see all that she accomplishes this summer in California!
@sab_march
PC’17 Sabrina March is spending her summer in London working as a legal intern for a software company. Follow her to keep up with her life as a working woman in Europe.
UT Athletics!
@texaslonghorns @texasfootball @anniesquier @jbo97 @tinaburke7 @wendilayne @jaydalallana @madisitter1 @paigelorenn @anneliese.parsons @lexihinnenkamp @courtney_sorelle @tori.vill
For all things UT sports, don’t forget to give @texaslonghorns a follow to stay updated. In addition, several Texas Zetas are on UT’s pom and cheer squad, including our Recruitment Captain, @anniesquier and Texas Pom and Cheer Co-Captains, @jbo97 and @paigelorenn! Let’s go ladies! Don’t forget to buy your Big Ticket so that you’ll never have to miss a Texas sporting event.
@utaustintx is important too, keep up with events happening all around campus.
Out of State? So are they!
From Florida, Daniela Perez @danieperezz (middle) is a Venezuelan who found her home as a Texas Zeta. As a major in journalism, Dani is fighting to bring a voice back to the people of Venezuela. Next to Dani is Syndey Mcilvan @sydneymcilvain (left), an LA native who is learning to love the Texas tradition!
From Tennessee, PC’15 Alex Carter @president_carterrrr is one of a kind; always documenting her adventures in around Austin. PC’16 member, Whitney Weiss @whitweiss, is one of our Atlanta girls - and such a fun insta to follow!
Last but not least: recruitment!
@texaspanhellenic @anniesquier @devo_
With fall recruitment on the horizon, it’s a good idea to follow @texaspanhellenic to get an inside look at how Texas sororities prepare for their new members. Make sure to follow our Recruitment Captain, Annie Squier @anniesquier, to keep up with her adventures in Austin this summer, and our President, Devon Forsyth @devo_, to learn more about what makes her a great leader, and what she does outside of ZTA.

I hope this guide will provide you with some familiar faces (and some great food) that makes campus seem a bit smaller as the school year begins. Happy creeping!
