In 1992, ZTA adopted The Susan
G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation as its national philanthropy.
Later, the Fraternity broadened its focus to encompass not only
the Komen Foundation, but also other educational means dedicated
to fighting breast cancer through education,
awareness and promoting breast health. Furthermore, each alumnae
and collegiate chapter generally volunteers with one or more local
philanthropy of its choosing
in addition to their support of the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation and ZTA's national
philanthropy.
Today,
our National Philanthropy is Breast Cancer
Education and Awareness.
