TEAM FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS
     ” Indianapolis — Zeta Tau Alpha congratulates our step dance team from Epsilon Chapter at the University of Arkansas for its success in the recent Sprite Step Off.
      We are proud of our nine-member team that earned a co-championship in the event finals held February 20, in Atlanta, Ga. They represented our Fraternity well and exhibited great sisterhood and dedication throughout their preparation over the past five months. Alpha Kappa Alpha and its Tau Chapter at Indiana University have a longstanding tradition of excellent stepping and we are pleased to share the title with their organization.
      The Epsilon Chapter step team won the Sprite Step Off local qualifying competition held in Fayetteville, Ark., in October 2009, and the regional championship held in Houston, Tex., in January, to qualify for the finals in Atlanta. At each event, our team members earned scholarship funds that they will use to complete their undergraduate and post-graduate degrees.
      Zeta Tau Alpha was founded in 1898 at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) in Farmville, Va., and has 151 active collegiate chapters and more than 205,000 members worldwide. One of the nation’s largest Greek women’s groups, ZTA develops members’ leadership, academic and service skills, and supports breast cancer education and awareness as its national philanthropy.”
