| Membership - About Zeta Tau Alpha Alumnae Membership |
Enjoy the investment of a lifetime. ZTA members learn early that Zeta is forever. Not only do ZTAs
share college experiences, but they continue as friends through families, careers, adventures,
and even retirement. Alumnae chapters have programs including social events, parties and
philanthropic projects. In addition, alumnae groups offer career networking and relevant
educational programs. Although each alumnae club or chapter may consist of ZTAs from all over
the country, their collegiate backgrounds blend together as one family. Often activities include
husbands and children. If you would like to learn more about membership in the Annapolis
Alumnae Chapter of ZTA, e-mail annapoliszta@yahoo.com.
Join now! Dues are only $35 for the entire year (September-August).
• I don’t have time.
FACT: The majority of alumnae chapter members work full time jobs, have husbands and
children, and still enjoy ZTA after they leave college. Alumnae membership only consumes an
average of three to five hours of your free time per month.
• I’m tired of paying all those expenses.
FACT: Alumnae pay an average of $25-$40 annually for their membership dues. Other
contributions to ZTA are strictly voluntary.
• I’m burned out with ZTA. I need a break after graduation.
FACT: Alumnae chapters need your youth and enthusiasm to keep them from becoming
outdated and stagnant. Alumnae chapters typically meet once a month rather than each week.
• I gave everything to ZTA as a collegian. Active membership seems pointless now.
FACT: ZTA membership is a life-long commitment. Being an active alumna is just as rewarding,
probably more so, as being an active collegian.
• ZTA expects me to do too much.
FACT: As with your collegiate experiences, ZTA alumnae experiences are what you decide to
make of them. If you want to keep busy, there’s always something to do.
• I won’t know any people in the alumnae chapter. I would feel uncomfortable going to
meetings.
FACT: Those "people" are your ZTA sisters. You can become good friends with other alumnae.
Remember that when you pledged ZTA you didn’t know everyone in your chapter. You’ll find that
you will be just as welcome in the alumnae chapter as you were in your collegiate chapter.
• Alumnae chapters don’t have members my age.
FACT: Younger alumnae right out of college are joining ZTA alumnae chapters. The future of ZTA
resides in our youth. Always remember you have one great thing in common with any alumna –
your sisterhood.
• Alumnae life is not as active. I think I would be bored.
FACT: Quite the opposite! Alumnae activities are definitely fun. They can range from philanthropic
endeavors to collegiate chapter assistance to all kinds of fun purely social events. You’ll find
alumnae activities to be rewarding, self-satisfying and never dull.
• No one has contacted me about joining an alumnae chapter.
FACT: It may be up to you to make the first contact. Call International Office at 317-872-0540 to
receive information about the nearest alumnae chapter in your area.
Your alumna status will be different from what you were used to as a collegiate. Think about this
– you will be a Zeta Tau Alpha alumna far longer than you were a collegiate. Please don’t think
your ZTA membership ends with graduation. It is just beginning! If nothing else, give the
alumnae chapter a try before using excuses like the ones above.
