“I always look forward to our ritual service. I remember arriving at Convention 2022 in Dallas and riding the escalator up to see a mass of white dresses. I still get chills thinking about it!” -Aymie Clayton, Tau Chapter

“Getting to see Maud's original badge in the pop-up historical exhibit and hearing the story of how it was acquired directly from Susan Beard, who was there when it was discovered, was thrilling!” - Jessi Reel, Theta Eta Chapter

“The Think Pink® lunch literally had me crying the whole time! Seeing the wide-scale impact of our philanthropy opened my eyes and deepened my love for thinking pink! We are POWERFUL in pink, not just pretty in pink.” - Hope Michael, Iota Chi Chapter

“Attending the opening Business Meeting as the official delegate for the same alumnae chapter my mom was the official delegate for when I was a baby!” -Jordan Kay, Iota Rho Chapter

“Meeting up with the girls from my chapter, staying up in our room chatting about the last year and the year to come, and meeting some AO alumnae was such a fun experience!” -Kaylie Rozenboom, Alpha Omicron Chapter

“The free afternoon was such a fun time for me, my chapter sister, and all our new friends to go out and explore the city! We walked around, found a cute coffee shop, took pictures, and laughed so much! It was an unforgettable day making memories with sisters I would have never met without this amazing Convention.” -Marissa Saad, Delta Omega Chapter

“The speakers for the alumnae sessions were excellent! I was able to take some points back to help me in my career and share with colleagues.” -Emily Preston, Eta Iota Chapter

“It was such an amazing day being part of the first Business Meeting and learning what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to making decisions about the Fraternity.” -Catherine Beerman, Alpha Omicron Chapter

“I got chills during the chapter flag procession, seeing my fellow sisters who are so different, but we were all there because we love ZTA. The Collegiate Crown Chapter dinner was so fun. I loved seeing my collegiate chapter and the chapter I advise both receive recognition for their hard work.” -Melissa Peace, Theta Eta Chapter

“Steel City, PA Chapter won our very first Silver Award EVER! We never expected to win, and it was all that we imagined and MORE!” -Karen Arnold, Zeta Nu Chapter

“On Saturday night, it was so much fun to get dressed up for the Recognition Banquet and take photos with all of our sisters! Seeing everyone in the skywalk and at the backdrops taking pictures for each other was a true example of sisterhood and Zeta Love!” -Sophia Ferolito, Theta Chi Chapter

“My favorite moment from Saturday was the Recognition Banquet. I enjoyed seeing all the collegiate and alumnae chapters celebrate each other's success!” -Sydney O'Connell, Lambda Chapter

“My favorite memory from Convention was watching our Collegiate National Officer (formerly known as a Province President), Donna Mowrer, receive her honor ring. Donna and her daughters, Angela and MJ, are also members of Delta Pi Chapter, so it was even more special for me to witness this alongside her family.” -Lindsey Williams, Delta Pi Chapter
