The sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha would like to extend an invitation to the entire campus to our annual philanthropy event. From 6 – 10 p.m. on March 25, we will hold our yearly Shag-A-Thon right here on campus, in Phase V. There will be a live band, catered low country jambalaya, desserts, raffle prizes, a shagging competition and a chance to honor the people in our community that have survived cancer, the disease that hits close to home for so many.
Philanthropy is an integral part of Zeta’s presence on campus, and we are committed to upholding the virtue of service that we proclaim. The proceeds from this event will help us reach our goal of raising $30,000 to donate to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation, which promotes breast cancer awareness and education.
This year, we are making many new improvements to the already successful event. We will have a “survivor walk,” in which various organizations around campus can sponsor a survivor to be honored on stage at the ceremony. We will also have a more formal shagging competition, featuring judges from the campus community. The contest will be open to all who are interested, but each pledge class of ZTA will also be nominating a male to represent their class in the competition. The winning couple will be crowned King and Queen.
Additionally, this year t-shirts are now available to the entire community – not just the sisters – and II Samuels, a local Spartanburg catering company, is providing low country jambalaya for all guests.
Tickets are available online at ztashagathon.eventbrite.com, or through any Zeta sister on campus. Please contact Elizabeth Mills ([email protected]) with any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!
