A Day in the Life of a Zeta
If you were to walk into 1020 N. Jordan on any given day of the week, chances are this is what you’ll see: Girls chatting in the kitchen for hours on end without realizing how much time has passed until hey, it’s time for dinner! More are scattered throughout the formal studying, or jam-packed in the TV lounge watching episode after episode of Friends or Sex and the City.
“My favorite part of being a Zeta is how comfortable I am around these girls. It sounds corny, but I never thought I could become so close with a group of girls as quickly as I did,” says Lindsay Rogers.
“My typical day as a Zeta usually consists of three things: going to class, laying in the TV lounge for hours on end, and then eating McDonalds after a good night out,” says Katie Karich.
