So, my question is what group(s) was ZTA thinking of when writing that paragraph?

Especially since ZTA was founded at an all-female school. The only conclusion I come to is that it's referring to KD, and I've never heard anything (granted, I don't know their history that well) that says any man had anything to do w/ KD's founding.
Maybe there was a bunch of townies hanging around the Hampden-Sydney dudes calling themselves a sorority and being annoying.

Perhaps it was due to ZTA's being founded after both KD and Tri Sigma (at Longwood). Perhaps, since the first two were called sororities, ZTA's founders felt the need to differentiate themselves by calling themselves a fraternity.

But then why the reference to an association with men's fraternities?

Scandia -
Congratulations on finding a home with Theta Phi Alpha. I know that it is something that you set a goal for, worked for, and finally achieved. Congratulations and I hope it is everything that you wished for.
