Individual National Awards

Order of the Shield This award honors those who have completed 50 years of Fraternity membership. In commemoration, these members receive a certificate and a White Violet pin as a gift from the Fraternity. These are traditionally presented at Zeta Day or a local alumnae function. The Order of the Shield Recognition Service should be held at that time. In addition, 75-year members receive a certificate and a White Violet charm from the Fraternity. |

Alumnae Certificate of Merit This certificate is a national award presented at Zeta Day or other special event. Names and qualifications of those recommended for the Alumnae Certificate of Merit are presented to National Council for consideration at its fall meeting. The vote of National Council is required for approval. In order to be considered, an alumna must have been out of school for seven years and have a minimum of seven years of significant post-collegiate service. |

Honor Ring The Honor Ring is the highest individual honor granted by the Fraternity and is presented to alumnae who have rendered sustained and outstanding service to the Fraternity. Representing devotion to the Fraternity, the Honor Ring bears symbols dear to every Zeta Tau Alpha. A point system has been devised to assist National Council in determining recipients. To be eligible to be considered to receive the Honor Ring, an alumna must accumulate at least 20 points, of which 50 percent must be for service at the national level. Names of alumnae who have accumulated the required number of points for the ring, with offices held and terms served, must be submitted to the Vice Presidents Alumnae by Jan. 1 of the Convention year. Points are not guaranteed, and the final decision on all candidates is made by vote of National Council. National Council may vote approval for the Honor Ring by assigning points for services otherwise not listed. |
