Did you know...?

Team Delta Zeta recruited 28 participants for the Susan G. Komen Phoenix Race for the Cure! This is the first year we are participating and already there has been an amazing response. We are proud to announce that as of September 26th we have raised over $1500

Greetings from Sam Gustafson

I am well into my first semester of graduate school for Audiology at ASU and so far am loving the program. There are a total of 9 first-year students, so my classes are very small. This semester I have 2 full days of classes as well as a few hours of clinical observation and an afternoon of teaching an Aural Rehabilitation workshop for members of the community. I am thoroughly enjoying all my classes and am enjoying the change of pace. It is so refreshing to finally be taking classes that all actually pertain to my field.
After submitting my research article to a journal for publication this summer, I recently received my submission review and will be making the necessary revisions and resubmitting within the next few months. We are in the process of developing ASU's National Association for Future Doctors of Audiology (NAFDA). I was elected to be this year's president. This club first registered on campus last year and we have exciting plans to build up our rapport with the campus and the community within this next year. [On top of all of this] I am working part-time as a student services assistant in a program called "Success Coaching" which pairs trained-student coaches with incoming freshman to help ease the transition to university life. This one-of-a-kind program is off to a great start and we are receiving a lot of positive feedback. The best part of my job is that it comes with tuition benefits! I am really enjoying my new job so far and love working on-campus!
I have a jam-packed schedule but I love it! I was born to be busy and wouldn't change any part of my "new life." Anyway that's about it for me. Have a great week!
Sam Gustafson, Pi Zeta

We want to hear from... YOU!

The blog is up and running! All we need now is to hear from all of you! As Ann put it "Got new-baby pix? Send them on in! Got something to brag about? Send it on in! Have you met up with some other alums in a faraway place? We want to know about it!" We want to hear and see it all! 
Please send your updates, stories and/or pictures to phx.alummembership@gmail.com
I can't wait to hear from you and neither can your fellow sisters! :)

Did you know there are over 800 Delta Zeta sisters in the state of Arizona? We are working hard to reach out to all of our sisters and hope to see more and more of you in the coming weeks and months! 
This year, in addition to all the amazing aspects of this chapter many alumnae have come to know and love, we are trying a few new things... like this blog! We have high hopes for the blog.We plan to do many things with it including: "Sister of the Week" profiles, updates on activities and giving sisters the opportunity to send in pictures from various life milestones like weddings, birth announcements etc. We hope you will all come to really love the blog and it will become something you visit regularly!
