The Pi Zeta Executive Board just returned from the 2011 Norma Minch Andersick Leadership Conference at our founding home, Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and what an experience it was!

We had eight women attend the conference: Emily Erwin President, Jenna Lose VP of New Member Ed, Courtney Witt VP of Programs, Allison Smith Secretary, Linda Cieslack Treasurer, Danielle Bushell Risk Manager, Libby Meskill House Manager. In addition to the members of the board Kristina Roman, the recipient of the conference scholarship, was in attendance.

Throughout the weekend we met with women from almost every chapter in the country. We discussed solutions to problems within the Greek system and shared our strategies with the many chapters who were impressed with Delta Zeta at ASU. All the attending women walked away with priceless information on how to improve our leadership and chapter.

The highlight of the weekend was the tour of the Miami University's campus and of National Headquarters. It was amazing to actually be in the presence of the history that has touched all our lives.

During the 2011 National Awards, Pi Zeta was recognized in three different categories: Honorable Mention in Academics, Outstanding Leadership Training Program and Outstanding Event or Celebration. Our commitment to leadership within the Pi Zeta chapter of Delta Zeta is stronger than ever and we are confident that the energy will infect the entire chapter.

In the flame,

Emily Irwin

President Pi Zeta Chapter

Back from the Painted Turtle Camp...

I just got back from the Painted Turtle Camp in California, and I wanted to let you know that Delta Zeta is truly giving to an incredible organization. From preparing special plates for the children with dietary restrictions to making a special harness for the children in wheelchairs to do the high ropes course, The Painted Turtle makes sure every child's experience is unforgettable. OH - and they LOVED the turtle pillows!! To all who helped make them - thank you from the Painted Turtle! Every camper receives a turtle pillow and blanket upon arrival, and it is something that they cherish forever. It truly was an amazing experience and I cannot wait to go back - hopefully with a group of us!

Look what Cathy has been up to!

The very lucky Cathy and Mike Sewell visited Europe this summer. This is one of the 1,200 or more photos from their trip, which included stops in London, Paris, Luzern, Venice, Florence, and Rome. Cathy says her favorite place was Switzerland, but they seem to be enjoying the Colosseum, too.

I hope everyone had a fabulous and fun holiday week, despite the storm I hear came blowing through town! I apologize for not wishing everyone a happy holiday sooner. I am currently in San Diego on our annual family beach vacation. Try to stay cool and enjoy the rest of your summer. Send me updates on what you all have been up too!

Checking in from Colorado...

It is nice at 75 degrees here in Vail, Colorado. Sorry to rub it in, but we are so glad to be out of the heat in Phoenix this week, especially since it is 40 degrees more! We are getting so spoiled here. (It didnt take long!) Our vacation is over on July 4th. See you soon!
