Fraternities and sororities are an integral part of campus life and have been around since the birth of our nation. The first Greek-letter organization was formed at the College of William and Mary in 1776, and since then many other Greek-letter organizations have formed. Fraternities and sororities are active on over 800 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
Greek-letter organizations have been a part of the UT campus community since 1933 where they started as local organizations and literacy clubs. In 1952, UT welcomed its first nationally recognized social sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha. Since that time, many nationally recognized social fraternities and sororities have made UT their home. We celebrate 1952 as the year the Fraternity and Sorority Life community was founded at The University of Tampa.
