ZTA to return to Kansas State University in fall 2010

The Kansas State University Panhellenic Council has selected Zeta Tau Alpha to become the new sorority on campus. The vote came Monday night and the K-State Greek Life office posted the official announcement on its Web site yesterday!

So, May 6 is once again an amazing day for ZTA at K-State. Beta Upsilon Chapter was installed on May 6, 1931. Reopening the chapter has many excited, including Muriel Fulton Alexander, a 96-year-old initiate of Beta Upsilon and a former ZTA National Council member, who shared via a video message the reopening of the chapter at K-State “just gave her goose bumps.”

After a lengthy Extension process, the process in which the Panhellenic sororities decide which new sorority would be the best fit for the current community, Meghan Butler, K-State Panhellenic Council president, was able to call for a special meeting of the Panhellenic Council to make official the recommendation of the Extension Committee. A resolution drafted by the Panhellenic Extension committee shares how Zeta Tau Alpha met the desired qualifications of a new sorority. This resolution, two pages in length, highlighted the commitments and programs of the international sorority.

The next step is to begin the process of creating an alumnae chapter in the Manhattan area. We are planning a brunch event for Saturday, June 6, so mark your calendars and contact mokszetas@yahoo.com for more information.
