Well, then, how about the Zetas at the College of NJ? Are they "competent?"
"Zeta Tau Alpha is known as a fraternity, not a sorority. The founders intended ZTA be designated a "fraternity" to distinguish
the organization from the sisterhoods organized in connection with men's fraternities, called sororities. "

or.. perhaps Michigan State University? Do you think the Zetas there are incompetent?

or maybe Robert Morris University would be good enough for you?

How is the crow tasting?

I think its great that several chapters have noted that information, but its been my experience that often chapter websites include incorrect information. Not saying that this information isn't correct, but for most people, they tend to trust things that are on national websites.

And I can't find this information at ZTA's national site.

I know it was founded at Farmville, were the other NPC's founded there sororities or fraternities?

KD has always been a sorority.

Thanks, I don't know that group of sororities (in the GENERAL SENSE) as well as I'd like. I just think that if this was the case it would be mentioned on the national website. If all of that information was copy and pasted from there, it would be "proof." Or another ZTA who can corroborate this information.

As has ASA. We were founded after ZTA, however.

I suppose I will have to spoon feed this to you. From the NATIONAL WEBSITE archives:

Zeta Tau Alpha is known as a fraternity, not as a sorority. The Founders intended Zeta Tau Alpha be designated a "fraternity" to distinguish the organization from the sisterhoods organized in connection with men's fraternities, called "sororities."

Why didn't you just post that to begin with instead of a bunch of random collegiate chapter sites?

And again, WHAT SORORITIES DOES IT REFER TO??? Do they still exist? Were they little sister groups? Are they sororities that died out? What?

Regurgitating does very little to make you look like you know what you're talking about.

Not to mention that is from the ARCHIVED web page. This is the current page on the national website discussing ZTA's history which mentions nothing about "sisterhoods organized in connection with mens' fraternities" or ZTA's desire to differentiate itself from them.

I've always wanted to know this too.

You'd think this would've been discussed before somewhere on greek chat. I've never heard of this until this thread.

We were the first sorority founded on the campus (for those not familiar with the Farmville Four, they are KD, Tri-Sigma, ZTA, and ASA - I believe founded in that order).

I can assure you, and blueangel and whoever else, that we were certainly not, as blueangel stated, a sisterhood "organized in connection with men's fraternities at the time, called "sororities." "

I never named your organization, nor did our national website. Stop trying to spin things... it's a very transparent tactic.
