Well, then, how about the Zetas at the College of NJ? Are they "competent?"

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?

Ummm...yeah. BA--We all know collegians may get things wrong from time to time....and things like that do just get copied and pasted. In my own group there are websites that say things that are not true....like Bette Midler being a member (she is not) because the web has helped proliferate the error. So just because its on a chapter website, does not mean that its true.

Anyway....I didn't mean to stick my nose in. Continue.

KD has always been a sorority.

33rd girl.. you're wrong. I proved it, you know it, but you obviously aren't big enough to acknowlege you're wrong.

As they say.. soldier on!

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.

You didn't "prove" anything. You gave me some links to some collegiate chapters' web pages. I could "prove" that Betty Crocker was in a sorority by doing the same, or "prove" that Tom Cruise is gay.

If you would stop talking about tasting crow (I think you're a little obsessed with that - maybe you need to head over to the AXP forum) and simply EXPLAIN WHAT THE QUOTE YOU POSTED OVER AND OVER ACTUALLY REFERS TO, this would be a much more pleasant thread.

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."

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." "

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