Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded November 15, 1901, on the Longwood College cam- pus in Farmville, Virginia. There were five women in- volved in establishing the so- rority who helped encourage the organization of numerous Alpha Sigma Alpha sororities on different campuses. On October 21, 1961, the Phi Sigma Chi sorority of Ar- kansas A M was named the Gamma Zeta chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha. The membership has grown from 15 in 1961, to a current roll of 36. The UAM Gamma Zeta chapter hosts the largest membership of Alpha Sigma Al- pha national chapters. Front Row: Eydie Swain, Pam Harrod, Penny Ryburn, Debbie Bailey, Cindy Hall.

The first ten years were a period of establishing firm footing and moving slowly toward national development. As a national sorority, Alpha Sigma Tau upholds such tradi- tions as the yellow rose, hymn, crest, emerald green and gold, pearl, songs, and ceremonies, all of which are beautifully and confidentially symbolic among all sisters in Alpha Sigma Tau. The Alpha Mu chapter of Al- pha Sigma Tau at UAM was founded on May 5, 1962. The sorority presently hosts 17 ac- tive members and 3 inactive members. Organizations 113

ZB On January 16, 1920, Zeta Phi Beta was founded by five young women, at Howard Uni- versity. It is the only true brother and sister Greek orga- nization. In 1976, on the 4th day of May, Kappa Eta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta, Inc. was perma- nently established on the UAM Campus by 11 charter mem- bers. The initiation ceremony was performed by the State Di- rector of Zeta Phi Beta and the Basileus of the Graduate Chap- ter, Epsilon Zeta Zeta, of Pine Bluff, who sponsored the group. Since that time, four other members have been initi- ated. As of this date, the organiza- tion has 7 active members. The sorority stands for finer wom- anhood, sisterly love, and scholarship. The colors are royal blue and white. Left to Right: Linda Bassett, vice-president; dent.
