National Officers touch down in Palm Desert
The energy was palpable as National Officers arrived today in Palm Desert! The hallways were filled with lots of hugs and the sounds of old friends reuniting and new connections forming.
Our national volunteers shared their excitement:
“I am excited to get reconnected with Zetas from all over the country!” -Lindsey Brazil Zahrte (Kappa Alpha, Colorado State University), ANO 18-Beta
“I’m excited to get my Honor Ring and spend some time with my Zeta sisters!” -Kati Mize (Delta Sigma, Lamar University), CNO 11-Zeta

Five Spaces to Visit During Convention
National Officers spent the day checking out all Convention 2026 has to offer.
- Crown & Co. We hope you left room in your suitcase for some new ZTA gear!
- Alumnae Lounge Mix and mingle with your alumnae sisters and relax during free time.
- Archives Experience View items from our Founders, take a picture with your chapter’s link in the Chain of Chapters, and check out some of the best examples of ZTA style from over the years.
- ZetaBase Support with re:Members ZTA has a new online portal! Meet with the experts to get all your questions answered.
- Zeta Zen Zone Take a break from the hustle and bustle and spend a few minutes relaxing in a quiet space.
After settling in and getting a lay of the land around the hotel, our national volunteers officially kicked off Convention 2026 with the National Officer happy hour and dinner! NOs turned out in their best resort wear and enjoyed a signature cocktail, sushi, and flatbread pizza. Those who could brave the heat mingled around the pool, while others had freshly made liquid nitrogen ice cream in the AC. One of the best things about Convention is that sisters who work together all year to support ZTA get to have a little face time for a change. You could feel the Zeta Love!

With all the excitement in the air, it feels a little like the night before Christmas. One more sleep until the rest of our sisters arrive in Palm Desert!
