Homewood resident Lynn Chapman elected to Zeta Tau Alpha council

Zeta Tau Alpha elected and installed its National Council for the 2016-18 term in July at the 53rd National and 42nd International Convention in Phoenix, Arizona. 

Homewood resident Lynn Chapman was elected to the position of Vice President Collegiate II.

Five of the council members returned to their roles, with Raechel Bennett Biggs, Shannon Ferguson, Franlyna Barrett Charles and Dolores Gonzales Gastineau joining them. 

“These four sisters are all knowledgeable, thoughtful, insightful, willing to do whatever is asked with servants’ hearts and, above all, dedicated to inspiring greatness through their service to Zeta Tau Alpha,” National President Carolyn Carpenter said.

Carpenter, who is reprising her role for a second biennium, added on behalf of the entire National Council, “We look forward to the biennium ahead of us as we seek to uphold the principles of our founders, serve to the best of our ability and lead Zeta Tau Alpha to new heights of excellence and even stronger bonds of sisterhood.”

Zeta Tau Alpha was founded in 1898 at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) in Farmville, Virginia, and has more than 245,000 members worldwide. 

One of the nation’s largest women’s fraternal groups, ZTA develops members’ leadership, academic and service skills, and supports breast cancer education and awareness.
