Hi everyone!!

My name is Vita Brodetsky and it is my privilege to serve as Zeta Tau Alphas president!

Within Zeta, we have a slogan we constantly use; “Love, the greatest of all things” and to be quite honest, it never really struck a chord with me. After all, it’s just 6 words on a page that is intended to describe the sisterhood between 194 of its members. But I think I was really undermining the love that the woman of Zeta have for one another when I first joined.

I grew up in New York City, a child of immigrants, was involved in performing arts my whole life, and the concept of a sorority was definitely not on my radar. I came to Elon to “get out of my comfort zone” but it’s funny to say that now because I’ve never felt a comfort before like I feel when I’m around the women of Zeta.

There is something incredibly powerful about being surrounded by women who genuinely want to see you grow into the best version of yourself. In Zeta, I’ve learned that impact doesn’t always come from big moments, it comes from the small, consistent ways we choose to love, support, and uplift each other every single day.

I remember that Sunday morning when I got a phone call from our past president that told me that I would be stepping into her role. I called my mom and after she congratulated me, she asked me “Why?” Why am stepping into such a big role and devoting majority of my time for a sorority that like I said, was never on my radar in the first place. Was it for my resume? For taking on a challenge? And the truth is, it was neither. I felt a responsibility to give this chapter even a fraction of what it has given me.… and that slogan “Love, the greatest of all things” is my answer. Because to me the women of Zeta love unconditionally, thrive amongst each other, and care for one another like we, all 194 of us, are each others greatest thing.

And that is why I say it is my privilege to be the president of Zeta Tau Alpha.

With so much love, Vita Brodetsky
