Kicking off Convention 2024

Wednesday, July 17, 2024

Welcome to Indy!

Zetas arrived in Indianapolis throughout the day! At the hotel, attendees picked up registration packets, stickers and ribbons for their nametags and ZTA Foundation donor buttons. Those first few hours of Convention were full of hugs, Crown & Co. shopping and exploring the ZTA archival display!

IO tours

With Convention being held in downtown Indianapolis, sisters had the opportunity to take a bus ride to the suburbs to visit International Office in Carmel. They toured the Historical and Educational Center and its amazing artifacts, including the original Chain of Chapters; see where the business of the Fraternity, Foundation and Housing Corporation takes place; and experience the collaborative spaces where IO staff members brainstorm new ideas and programs.

National Officer sisterhood

At the JW Marriott, National Officers enjoyed dinner together before the official opening of Convention. Collegiate National Officers, Alumnae National Officers and members of the three Boards and their committees love this biennial moment to share laughter and memories and meet new faces from across the country.

HBD, ZTA!

Happy 125th Birthday to us! Convention is the conclusion of ZTA’s 125th celebrations, so it was appropriate that all 1,000 guests enjoyed a birthday bash complete with cake, party games and goodie bags. National President Dinah Jackson Laughery officially welcomed everyone to Convention and cut the 125th birthday cake! We all have something to be proud of, as ZTA is providing more than 250 "birthday boxes" to families in Indianapolis — more than double the original 125 goal
