FAQs

Can you tell me about ZTA’s History?

Of course! ZTA just celebrated its 125th birthday on Oct. 15, 2024. ZTA was founded by nine young women at Longwood University in 1898. Since then, ZTA has grown to more than 305,000 members! Our colors are turquoise and gray, our symbols are the crown and strawberry, and our patron goddess is named Themis.

Our chapter at UT is actually a re-establishment, which means ZTA is rejoining campus. Back in the ‘50s-’70s, the ZTA chapter at UT was full of Spartan spirit, including campus leaders, Homecoming queens and more. We can’t wait to re-establish ZTA’s Gamma Sigma Chapter and start new traditions with you!

What is ZTA’s Philanthropy?

We support breast cancer education and awareness. We partner with organizations like Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks, NFL teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Plus, the chapter will create its own signature philanthropy event on campus!

I’m an upperclassman. can I join?

ZTA is seeking students of all ages to help build a brand new chapter on campus! Our new member class will be built from first-fourth year students.

I want to be a leader. What opportunities are there?

Chapter officers will come from all academic classes. We have two sets of officers in ZTA - Executive Council and Programs Council. Leadership positions range from chapter President to athletic chair, so there is something for everyone! Officers will receive training and development from ZTA to help you excel in your role.
