Chapter History

The Gamma Nu Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha was founded at the University of Virginia in 1952. We strive to uphold our founders' mission "to make a difference in the lives of our members by developing the potential of each individual through innovative programming, which emphasizes leadership development, service to others, academic achievement and continued personal growth for women, with a commitment to friendship and the future based on the sisterhood, values, and traditions of the past." We are especially proud of our philanthropy event, the Run for Life 5k held every spring here in Charlottesville.
