Personalized Crown

Zetas keep the true significance of the crown a secret unless you are an initiated member. However, this symbol is considered important to them. Purchase or make a five-pointed crown and decorate it with the name of the member. Use turquoise or silver paint pens or glitter glue to enhance your ZTA crown. On the back, write a special message to the recipient welcoming her to the fraternity or simply expressing your thanks for her help with the organization.
Think Pink! T-Shirt

Zeta Tau Alpha partners with the Susan G. Komen Foundation and borrows their motto of, "Think Pink!" Purchase a "Think Pink" T-shirt for your favorite Zeta and personalize it further. Use iron-on black letters to place her name on the back of the shirt. Create enough shirts for each member of the organization and have her wear the gift for any philanthropic event as well as around campus for advertisement of the charity.
