The Beginning
On November 15, 1901 at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) in Farmville, VA were five women: Virginia Lee Boyd (Noell), Juliette Jefferson Hundley (Gilliam), Calva Hamlet Watson (Wootton), Louise Burks Cox (Carper), and Mary Williamson Hundley. They came together and began Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Chapter History
Before there was an Alpha Sigma Alpha Theta Zeta, we were known as Theta Zeta Psi. After being on IUPUI’s campus as a local chapter for some years, the members reached out to many national organizations. In 2008, this chapter was officially installed. Theta Zeta is the second oldest chapter at IUPUI.
