Chapter History

Western Fairfax ZTA was founded on April 12, 1996, by thirty-two women bound together by their love of all that is Zeta. 

Our members, which include recent graduates, new moms and soccer moms, empty nesters, and White Violets, are committed to upholding the tenets of ZTA through sisterhood, service, and social events.

Although most of our members live and/or work in western Fairfax County, Virginia and the immediate surrounding area, we welcome any ZTA alumna of good standing that wishes to find a home! Our chapter strives to be a place of warmth, acceptance, and support for those seeking friendship, sisterhood, and service.

Additionally, over the years the hard work and excellence of our members has been recognized on the regional level by District III-Beta and at the national level, including the following recognition:
