Meet Texas Zeta Recruitment Team 2020!
We are so excited to welcome everyone into our house and onto our campus. We all found a home after joining Zeta Tau Alpha, and we want to share this sisterhood with our incoming Member Class ‘20 (MC ’20)!!!
Meet Brooke
Hey y’all! I‘m Brooke Graves, and I am the Recruitment Captain for 2020! I was born and raised in Rockwall, Texas, and I have an amazing family with 3 sisters and a brother, so finding loads of new sisters at Zeta was meant for me! Those Zeta sisters make Austin a home away from home! As for my major, I’m on the pre-med track studying human development. One of my favorite things to do is ski in Colorado. One of my “trick-gone-wrong” videos made me Insta-famous for about a week (see the embarrassment on my page)! This summer I’m keeping myself busy with studying for the MCAT, hanging on the lake, and preparing for an incredible week of recruitment. I can’t wait to see all of you when we’re all back in Austin.

Meet Kennedy K
Hey! I’m Kennedy Kiemsteadt, and I’m the Regional Recruitment Captain. I‘m from Round Rock, Texas, just north of Austin. Besides Zeta, one of my favorite parts of UT is being on the Texas Orange Coed Cheer Squad, especially because I was raised a big fan! My dad played baseball at UT when he was a student here. I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps as a student athlete. I‘m studying sociology and hope to one day become an FBI agent. If you love true crime TV, we’d be best friends!

Meet Taylar
Hello! I am Taylar Packard, and I am the Director of Logistics. I’m from Southlake, Texas, and I’m studying public relations. But while I’m in school, I plan corporate events and weddings - which is extra special because I get to work with and learn from one of our Advisors (@beckypearlatx on Instagram). This job is one of the many opportunities Zeta has brought to me. The women I’m surrounded by in Zeta are extremely goal and career oriented, which is absolutely inspiring. A fun fact about me is that I have a twin brother, which of course, keeps things interesting. Couldn’t be more excited for an incredible recruitment and the next class of Zetas to be here!
