Zeta Day

Every year, the sisters of ZTA attend Zeta Day.  This year, Zeta Day was in Norfolk, VA.  A total of 8 Virginia chapters were there along with numerous advisors and alumni.  Most girls from the chapter left on Friday and enjoyed time on the beach, shopping, and just relaxing with their sisters! On Friday night, everyone headed to a sister, Lindsay Velline's beach house for a cookout.  

Zeta Day was on Saturday and the Eta Xi chapter of Virginia Tech accepted one award after another.  We received Most Improved GPA, Outstanding Recruitment, Outstanding Service, and Best Website. 

Everyone broke out into discussion groups to get to know one another and more about the various campus chapters.  This was a great opportunity to share ideas with one another.

A very special sister shout out to Emily Smalling, our nomination for being best all-around Zeta for her involvement with the chapter and campus. 

Zeta Day every year is a great experience and opportunity.  We feel so proud to not only represent our accomplishments but to be able to  show just how wonderful the Virginia Tech Panhellenic community is. 

We are so proud of our chapter and for each and every member who has made the past year so successful! Already looking forward to what next year's Zeta Day will bring.

Delta Gamma Celebrates our Founders


On March 25th Delta Gamma took part in an extremely successful Founders Day celebration along with a neighboring Delta Gamma chapter, Gamma Pi of Roanoke College. Delta Rho, Delta Gamma invited multiple alumnae from around the Roanoke area to celebrate this year’s Founders Day held at The Inn at Virginia Tech.

Beyond a delicious brunch, the women of Delta Rho were able to meet and speak with the women from Gamma Pi and get to know fellow sisters from a separate university. This opportunity helped the women of Delta Gamma understand that their sorority is much larger than just what is at their respective universities.

The women enjoyed a morning filled with stories from Delta Rho alumnae ranging from their competitive spirit when it came to philanthropies, or how their friendships from college and within the sorority stuck through years after. Also, both chapters took some time out from the day to recognize each chapter’s scholastic achievements including recognizing women who earned a 4.0 or a GPA anywhere between a 3.5 through a 3.9. This recognition encouraged chapter women to maintain their academic success through this semester.

The ceremony ended in an exchange between Delta Rho and Gamma Pi of song and smiles. Each chapter’s chapter management team was recognized and the chapter women of both chapters could agree on the event being a large success. Delta Rho, Delta Gamma looks forward to next year’s founders day and are extremely grateful for their relationship with Gamma Pi!
