A Picture Perfect Day of Giving 2025

Note: This article is accurate as of its publishing on Oct. 17, 2025.

The sixth annual Day of Giving this Founders’ Day was picture perfect! We celebrated our sisterhood and honored our Founders by looking back at the special moments captured in time through photographs. Zetas everywhere shared their favorite ZTA photo memories leading up to, and on, Oct. 15 as a reminder of what makes our sisterhood special.

Those within and without our circle showed up to support the ZTA Foundation and ensure future generations have the same opportunities to make and capture special ZTA moments. This year, there have been 1,148 donations totaling $389,705 so far! That includes 32 Sisterhood Circles created to collectively raise $50,411 of that total.

The Day of Giving website will remain open and accept donations through the end of October and the final campaign total will appear in the winter issue of Themis.

The ZTA Foundation is so incredibly grateful for the generosity of our sisterhood. Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a significant impact in the lives of our members, as well as the breast cancer survivors we champion, by supporting philanthropy efforts, scholarships, educational programming, and leadership training.

Five Iconic ZTA Photos

Sisterhood is all about the moments we share and Zetas have been capturing those moments on camera since our founding. We can relive so many parts of ZTA’s story, from big milestones to everyday moments, by flipping through photos. This video, created especially for Day of Giving, looks at five memorable ZTA photos, starting with the original iconic snapshot – the Mystifying Picture.

Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Shamim and Jordan Wu (Theta Omega and Long Beach Alumnae Chapters), for making this fun video possible!
