Spotlight on Alumnae

On Friday evening, our focus shifted to honoring excellence in alumnae life!

Louise Kettler Helper Award (Alumnae)

Diane Hanson Keegan, Theta Omega Chapter (California State Polytechnic University, Pomona)
This award is presented to an alumna whose service and achievements are notable contributions to the progress of the Fraternity and the fraternity/sorority world. It is named after beloved former National President Louise Kettler Helper, who passed away while in office in 1943.

This longtime volunteer is described by her alumnae chapter as always positive and inclusive, a sister who brings enthusiasm and energy to everything she does. She is kind-hearted and always thinks of how to make ZTA special to others. Those who have served with her or been mentored by her say she is creative and empathetic, always wanting to help others become better leaders. Whether she is handing out pink ribbons, assisting with collegiate recruitment or attending alumnae events, she brings fun and laughter to our sisterhood.

She has served the Fraternity in multiple capacities including alumnae chapter officer, advisor, mentor, District President and member of National Council. In every role, she has used her phenomenal communication skills to get her message across but more importantly to listen and understand the other person’s perspective. Nowhere has that skill been more important than in extension. This dedicated Zeta has now participated in 33 extension efforts. She loves to tell the ZTA story and spread the message of our values and what we believe.

She often says, “I don’t know the word “no” as it relates to Zeta Tau Alpha.” We are a much greater organization because she has always said “yes.”
