Why Zeta?
"First semester Freshman year at University of Louisville…Away from home and needing to find my way. I must have looked lost. Joanne Little from across the hall took the time to make sure I had food, someone to laugh and talk with as I adjusted. She later talked about Zeta and what the sisterhood was about. First, she showed me. Then, she provided me the opportunity. One of my best decisions! Zeta has given me wings to learn, grow and serve on all levels - locally, State, Regional and International. My personal values align with our founding principles. So, I have been able to work with my sisters to make a difference. You would be amaZed at the powerZ!"
