My #1 piece of advice would be to have fun!!! Although Recruitment can be overwhelming at times, it is such an exciting experience that you will never forget! Relax, smile, be yourself, & get ready to meet your future best friends!
Why did you #GOTEXASZETA?
As soon as I stepped foot in the Zeta house during recruitment, I knew I was home. I immediately fell for Zeta when I was welcomed with lots of hugs & so much love. After two years of being a Zeta, I still feel the same way. It is a blessing to be able to call such amazing, strong, and beautiful girls my sisters. I can thank Zeta for bringing me my best friends that I have no idea how I lived without.

Take advantage of your Recruitment Counselors! They have been preparing to guide you through Recruitment all year and only job is to be there for you. These girls have the best advice and have been through the process just like you, so do not be afraid to get to know them!! My Recruitment Counselor is one of my very best friends now and was a huge help during Recruitment to me!
Why did you #GOTEXASZETA?
I #WENTTEXASZETA because from the moment I walked in the doors, I felt loved and welcomed. The girls I talked to genuinely wanted to get to know me just as much as I wanted to get to know them. They were personal and down to earth. I talked to girls with such different personalities but was able to get along with all of them. This is what I love most, feeling welcomed by all of my sisters, enough to have a comfortable conversation with any girl in Zeta, no matter the age or if we have ever talked.

Any tips for Recruitment?
Bring comfy shoes to walk in from house-to-house. The houses are often times far apart and having to speed walk in heels is a nightmare, trust me. Also, HAVE FUN! It sounds like such a cliche, but recruitment is all about getting to meet wonderful women who are going to be with you for the next 4 years!
What's your favorite ZTA sisterhood event?
Definitely the Mario Cart Tournament at game night!

Any tips for Recruitment?
Tell funny stories, and talk about things that you’re truly passionate about. If you care about it, it’ll show. Don’t be afraid to talk about things that might not fit the typical mold - it’s awesome to hear about what makes you unique. I know “be yourself” sounds cliche- but it really is the best way to find out who you click with.
Fun fact?
My left arm has a donor bone!

Any tips for Recruitment?
If something doesn’t go as planned, don’t worry about it! Everyone experiences little mishaps here and there and it is these “embarrassing” stories during recruitment that will make for great stories later on!

When I was younger, I taught myself to be ambidextrous!

Any tips for Recruitment?
Don’t overthink it. Recruitment week can be super stressful, but if you be yourself and keep an open mind you’ll find your home. Don’t get caught up in the drama of the week, it’s not worth it when you could be spending that time making friends and having a good time!
Why did you #GOTEXASZETA?
I went Zeta because from the beginning to the end of recruitment week, I felt most comfortable stepping into the house and getting to talk to amazing girls I could see being my sisters. Zeta had a strong sense of sisterhood and support that I knew would come in handy during my first year at UT, and it did. Best decision ever!
