Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity was formally founded on October 15, 1898, at the Virginia State Female Normal School (now known as Longwood University), in Farmville, Virginia (one of the "Farmville Four").
Our 9 Founders were Alice Maud Jones Horner, Frances Yancey Smith, Alice Bland Coleman, Ethel Coleman Van Name, Ruby Bland Leigh Orgain, Mary Campbell Jones Batte, Helen May Crawford, Della Lewis Hundley, and Alice Grey Welsh.
And thanks to Grace Eclan (a loyal sister), ZTA is the only female fraternity chartered by the legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the act was passed March 15, 1902).
