Zeta Tau Alpha- Auburn University

1 WEEK since we welcomed home our Pi Chis and Pan Exec Member!!!! We are so proud of them for representing ZTA so well and leading so many girls to their forever home! 🩵🤸‍♀️

Waving goodbye to sweet summertime! Tag a sister you can’t wait to hug so soon!!!! 🩵

An extra special with our President, hadley 🩵🩵

“Hey y’all! I’m Hadley Hartsfield, and I have the absolute privilege of serving as Chapter President of the Gamma Rho Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha, and I truly cannot imagine a greater blessing.

Serving this chapter is one of the greatest joys of my life. Every day, I have the opportunity to walk alongside and support the most incredible women, while leading an Executive Council of eleven women who inspire, encourage, and challenge me to be better. They make this role so much sweeter, and I am endlessly grateful to serve beside them.

Looking back, it’s hard to believe that serving on Executive Council as a freshman was my very first leadership role at Auburn. Zeta believed in me long before I believed in myself, and that opportunity has shaped not only the leader I am today, but the woman I have become. It is incredibly humbling to now serve as President of the chapter that first took a chance on me.
My greatest hope is to now do the same for others, to encourage every woman in Gamma Rho to chase her dreams with confidence and to always be her biggest cheerleader. There is nothing more rewarding than watching our members accomplish amazing things, and I consider it the greatest privilege to celebrate each of them along the way.

Gamma Rho, thank you for allowing me to love you, lead you, and grow alongside you. Thank you for inspiring me to seek the noblest in all that I do and for shaping me into the Auburn woman I am today. I am so proud to call this sisterhood home and cannot wait to welcome PC ‘26 so soon!”

Zeta Love and Mine, 
Hadley

ZTA’s doing with our Camp War Eagle counselors, Mary Claire, Kennedie, Melissa, & Breckyn!!! 🤍

We are so unbelievably proud of them for spending their summer serving incoming students and our university. War Eagle!

Congratulations to our very own Amber Pickard on her installation to the 2026–2028 ZTA National Council as Vice President Collegiate II! We could not be more proud as she begins this next chapter of service to Zeta Tau Alpha.
 
Since pledging Zeta Tau Alpha in 2002, Amber has served ZTA with heart and purpose. She began serving as our General Advisor in 2011, before stepping into the role of Collegiate National Officer in 2014.
 
Amber’s dedication to ZTA is truly inspiring. She lives out the values of our Creed, leading with a humble heart, unwavering grace, and a deeply rooted love for our Fraternity.
 
After many years of pouring into Gamma Rho and other chapters across Alabama and Mississippi, she will now be sharing her passion and love for ZTA with all of Area II. Gamma Rho will be cheering her on every step of the way.
 
Congratulations, Amber. We love you and are so proud of you!

Another unforgettable day at Convention! 🤍

We are incredibly honored to have received the Sherry Server Tilley Leadership Award, recognizing Gamma Rho’s outstanding contributions to our Fraternity and our commitment to servant leadership.

From serving as leaders across Auburn’s campus to raising more than $365,000 for breast cancer education and awareness, this award reflects the passion and dedication of every sister who has made an impact in our chapter. We are so proud to continue carrying on this legacy.

We also spent the day in business meetings and were so excited to cheer on our very own Amber Pickard as she was installed on National Council as Vice President Collegiate II! Congratulations, Amber — we can’t wait to see all you’ll accomplish.

Convention has already been so special! 🩵✨

We were honored to attend the ZTA Foundation Luncheon, where we celebrated the incredible impact of our philanthropy. This biennium, the ZTA Foundation is sponsoring five new research grants for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and has committed $2.5 million to breast cancer research. Every Think Pink event and fundraiser helps make this possible, and we are so proud to be part of that impact.

At the Foundation Awards Dinner, Gamma Rho was recognized with the Founders Club Award at the $350,000 giving level, making us the #2 collegiate fundraising chapter in the nation! We are so grateful for our sisters and everyone who has supported our philanthropy, this honor wouldn’t be possible without you. 🩵

ZTA Convention has officially begun, and we are so excited to share that Gamma Rho has been awarded Cown Chapter! 👑🩵

We are incredibly proud of our chapter and all that we’ve accomplished this past year. This recognition is a reflection of the dedication, heart, and hard work of every sister. We can’t wait to see what the rest of Convention has in store—here’s to an amazing weekend!

From Pi Chi groups to Bid Day, Allison Thompson & Nora Ferriss are sharing their as we celebrate just ONE MONTH until Bid Day!! 🩵✨

“From the moment Nora and I met at the beginning of rush, we just clicked! I’ve been so lucky to experience every moment with her from our Pi Chi group to running home together and being in the same Founders group. Throughout freshman year, Nora became my best friend! She’s intentional, supportive and she never fails to make me laugh. We’re rooming together this year and I couldn’t be more excited to be back together again and make more memories! Nora has such a special place in my heart and I’m so grateful to Panhellenic for bringing us together and to Zeta for making us sisters!“

“I still remember sitting next to Allison for the first time in our Pi Chi group and instantly becoming friends! I never could have imagined that sitting next to her that day would lead to finding one of my best friends and future roommate. We ended up running home together and were even in the same Founders group. She is one of the funniest, kindest, and most genuine people I know, and she always knows how to make everyone around her smile. She’s the kind of friend who always shows up for the people she loves, and I’m so thankful to have her in my life. I’m beyond lucky that we get to be roommates this year, and I can’t wait for all the late-night talks, laughs, and memories ahead. I’m so grateful Zeta brought us together and gave me a sister like her. So excited to be reunited so soon!!”
