“To Be Humble In Success, And Without Bitterness In Defeat”…

…are words in our Creed that each and every Zeta Tau Alpha strives to live by everyday, especially during competitions. The third day of Greek Week was Olympics; For girls, the events consist of who can build the fastest 10-person pyramid and Tug-of-War. For the guys, the events consist of a Relay Race and Tug-of-War. For those who do not know, our Tug-of-War rules call for 6 people on a rope (who can weigh no more than a total of 1160lbs) that pull against another sorority team with the same amount of people.

With the speed and agility of our pyramid team, we were able to build a pyramid in 1.1 seconds!

Day 2 of Greek Week was Can Structure Day! Each organization within the Greek community builds a stable structure made from cans, and the cans used are then donated to a shelter after the event. This year, there were many unique and structurally sound entries ranging from the house from the movie UP to our structure, the crocodile from Peter Pan! This event is judged on creativity, spirit, and sturdiness! With the combined efforts of our Greek Goddess (who we can not reveal because she is a Rho Chi for Fall 2011) dressed up as Captain Hook being eaten by a crocodile, the sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha singing to the judges, and our amazing Can Building team, we earned 2nd Place in Can Structure!

This year Greek Week 2011′s theme was Walt Disney. Greek Week is a friendly competition between all of the Sororities and Fraternities that always unites our chapter through hard work and sisterhood. As the competitive side comes out of each member of the Greek community, we all remember that Greek Week is most importantly raising money for a great cause! To kick off Greek Week this year, the Greek Goddesses and Greek Gods competed in a Minute to Win It Challenge. How many quarters can you catch from your elbow in 1 minute? Well our Greek Goddess caught it 35 times! She won the event and won Zeta a buy-in for the next round!

We competed against 4 other sororities in Quiz Bowl: Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader. With the amazing efforts and intelligence of Courtney Gallagher, Stacy Cantero, Maya Mosher, Amanda Hi-C, and Andrea Nechvatal, we won 1st place in Quizbowl! After a 200pt start and a amazing first win, we were excited to continue with the rest of the week!
