Occurs annually during October, national breast cancer awareness month.

All proceeds go directly to ZTA's national philanthropy fund.
yogurt-eating contest (Yoplait yogurt lids are collected and sent in to Yoplait; ten cents per lid goes directly toward breast cancer research.)

Other Think Pink Week events include, but are not limited to:

Run for A Reason

Students take turns in order to walk continuously for 24 hours straight. Raffle proceeds and entrance fees go toward our philanthropy.

Raffles

Local businesses and ZTA sisters donate prizes for raffles. Every hour during Run for A Reason a raffle is drawn; tickets are $1 each, with no limit on how many tickets can be purchased. Examples of former raffles include free chipotle for five, gift cards to Plaza shops, and a Playstation 3 gaming console.

Big Man on Campus Pageant

This event sells out every year! Men from each organization on campus participate in events like formal-wear, swimwear, talent, and Q&A. Our current BMOC (2010-2011) is Phil Bennett of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.

Strut to Save Fashion Show

Local boutiques lend outfits for this event. Sisters and individuals from other organizations on campus walk the catwalk while MCs narate and give away raffles. Entrance fees go toward our philanthropy.
