It's hard to find.. you have to look at the bottom and click in 'About' to get to the history.
"Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity was inspired by Richard J. H. Gottheil, a professor of languages at Columbia University and a leader in the early American Zionist movement. On December 29, 1898, Professor Gottheil gathered together a group of Jewish students from several New York City universities to form a Zionist youth society. The society was called Z.B.T."

I guess it could go either way since he taught at Columbia but the members were from New York City Universities...
ETA: Looks like AlphaFrog and I found this about the same time..
