Nine young women with a special friendship wanted <strong>to</strong> create some kind of club that would unite them forever. These nine women created a Greek fraternity that <strong>to</strong>day has chapters in all parts of the United States and Canada. Today, ZTA has 238 links. The fraternity holds the only charter ever granted by a special act of the state legislature and is the first fraternity <strong>to</strong> be chartered in the state of <strong>Virginia</strong>. Zeta Tau Alpha was charted on <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Tech</strong>’s campus on April 29, 1972, making it one of <strong>Tech</strong>’s oldest sororities and Zeta’s 157th link. <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Tech</strong> Zetas take pride in working <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> achieve common goals. Zetas are represented throughout all aspects of campus and community life with involvement in the Residence Hall Federation, High <strong>Tech</strong>s, Student Alumni Association, Student Government Association, Relay For Life committee, club sports, and numerous academic and Greek honor societies, <strong>to</strong> name a few. ZTAs frequently socialize at campus events, football tailgates, sports games, and community service projects, as well as with other campus organizations. Success opens doors; friends open hearts. Whether you are looking for opportunities in leadership, scholastics, and service, or you just want <strong>to</strong> make new friends and have some laughs, you will find it in Zeta Tau Alpha.
