If anyone is able to volunteer, TLS is holding a pop up event in Orange Park on Saturday 8/29

🐾 POP-UP PUP ALERT! 🐾

Well, well, well… looks like your Saturday plans just got a whole lot more adorable. 🐶❤️

TLS ADOPTION EVENT

The London Sanctuary is popping up at Pet Supplies Plus in Orange Park THIS SATURDAY — and we’re bringing some of our adorable adoptable dogs along for the fun!

📅 Saturday, August 29
⏰ 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
📍 Pet Supplies Plus – Orange Park, FL

510 Blanding Blvd Ste 50, Orange Park, FL 32073

Come meet some of our available pups, get a few doggy kisses, ask us about fostering or adopting, and maybe accidentally meet the dog you didn’t know you needed. 😉

Already have a full house? Come say hello anyway! 👋
A visit, a share, or telling a friend about one of our dogs can help get them one step closer to HOME.

🐾 No appointment. No pressure. Just really good dogs looking for really good people.

And really… what better way is there to spend a Saturday?

❤️ Adopt. Foster. Share. Help us get these pups HOME.

EDIT:
Thank you to everyone who helped contribute to the baskets for each of our campuses!
Swipe to see what your generosity provided for the recruitment teams this week!

Help us create recruitment baskets for our 3 collegiate Panhellenics!

The goal is to collect enough items to put together a nice-sized basket for the Panhellenic teams at JU and UNF, as well as the ASA recruitment team at Flagler. Based on their recruitment posts, we’re estimating approximately:

UNF: 20 people
JU: 16 people
Flagler: 5 people

Amazon Wish List:

If we can have everything collected by Thursday, September 3, we’ll be in great shape to deliver them to UNF and JU on Friday, September 4. (Lauren will coordinate with Amy separately for Flagler since they’re already beginning their recruitment process this week)

If you’d rather contribute by purchasing items locally, Lauren is also happy to coordinate pickups/drop-offs!

Questions or need help coordinating a contribution?
Please contact Lauren Augustine

Thank you helping us support our collegian Panhellenics during recruitment weekend!

We may be looking to fall events as August winds to a close, but we've got another Convention series update this week too!

At the end of June, Tri Delta's Convention was in Denver. JAPA member Audrey Van Etten was in attendance & here's what she had to say about the experience:

What an unforgettable weekend “Beneath the Pines” at Tri Delta’s 62nd Biennial Convention in Denver the last weekend of June at the fabulous Ga***rd Rockies Resort! From inspiring keynotes to milestone celebrations, Convention reminded us of the incredible strength of our sisterhood across geography and generations.
Nearly 700 Tri Deltas came together to connect, celebrate our history, & to help shape our future. We left the mile high city with full hearts, precious memories, renewed purpose & an even deeper appreciation for the women who make Tri Delta so extraordinary. Shout out to the well-represented Florida delegation. Also, that elevation is no joke ;)

Congrats Audrey on representing Jax Tri Delta in Denver & we're excited to celebrate with you in person soon! ⛰️

We're winding down on our Convention series, but we've still got plenty to celebrate! Last weekend Zeta Tau Alpha took over Palm Desert for their Convention!

Several JAPA members attended and here's what they had to say about the experience:

💙👑 What an unforgettable week at the 2026 Zeta Tau Alpha National Convention! 👑💙

The Jacksonville Alumnae Chapter returned home with countless reasons to celebrate, including two of the Fraternity's highest chapter honors: the Betty McGehee Schuessler Award, Zeta Tau Alpha's highest recognition for an alumnae chapter, and Crown Chapter. Convention also brought multiple individual national recognitions, leadership appointments, scholarship celebrations, and the joy of seeing the Theta Iota Chapter at the University of North Florida earn Crown Chapter honors. Swipe through to celebrate the accomplishments that made Convention 2026 one to remember! 🩷✨
