Our chapter at Michigan State University is a very prominent and strong chapter on campus. With such a strong philanthropy, Breast Cancer Education and Awareness, we are constantly getting involved in the community and making differences in other peoples’ lives. In addition to having excellence in our philanthropy and academics, we also find the time to plan many social events, which include: Date parties, Semi-Formal, Formal, Sports events, IM teams, and sisterhoods. We find ourselves to be very down to earth and personable. Most importantly, Zeta’s at Michigan State know how to make the most out of their college experience!

Philanthropy Event: Cheer Classic

Nationally, Zeta Tau Alpha relies on each individual chapter to donate to the ZTA Foundation; the ZTA Foundation is responsible for awarding scholarships to collegiate members, planning leadership programs for ZTA officers, producing breast self exam shower cards and millions of pink ribbons, and donating to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The Michigan State Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha works on numerous philanthropy events through the year to support our Foundation with our largest fundraiser being our annual Cheer Classic, which has raised $25,000 in three years. High school and competitive cheer teams from all over Michigan are invited to participate in the cheerleading competition on Michigan State’s campus. We have a silent auction, sell raffle tickets and apparel and invite teams to decorate posters for the poster contests. Along with being an eventful day, the event makes everyone who attends aware of the dangers of breast cancer and the steps necessary to prevent or detect the disease early on. Along with Cheer Classic, we also co-sponsor Race for the Cure, relying on Zetas to staff the Survivor tent, and spend a day down at Ford Field passing out pink ribbons with the Detroit Lions.
