The ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha continually strive for excellence in all areas, including education. The Delta Zeta Chapter puts a strong emphasis on academics and promotes strong relationships with the faculty of Sam Houston State.

Over 20% of our chapter made the Deans List in the Spring and many of our members are also involved in National Academic Honor Societies.


We have a very successful study sister program that encourages great sisterhood. We offer study hours and recognize our sisters that do exceptionally well at school.


We hope that with the help of these small incentives, the ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha are motivated to work hard and remember the purpose of attending college is to better one's self academically while creating bonds that will last a lifetime.
