The History Zeta Tau Alpha.
very hard to find complete set ( 100 years history )
nice set of three like new , hardcover books. vol #1 & #2 are reprints of their classic editions. #3 would be most current. beautiful condition , probably looked thru just once or twice. no marks , clean & crisp pages.
some historical older b/w photos thru-out.
-----------------------
volume one (1898-1928) originally pub in 1928 this reprint is from 2008. The first blank page has ten names / signatures / dates , but my best guess they are not real , but printed onto book. If you have access to another vol #1 copy , then a comparison can be done. 518 pages.
volume two (1898-1928) originally pub in 1929 this reprint is from 2008. 647 pages.
volume three (1928-1998 ) published in 2009 , book has a lot of skip numbering to pages , as this is the way it was produced. Being this book is almost three inches thick , there should be at least 1000 pages , best guess is slightly over 1000 pages.

Zeta Tau Alpha (known as ZTA or Zeta) is an international women's fraternity, founded on October 15, 1898 at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) in Farmville, Virginia. International Office is located in Carmel, Indiana. Zeta Tau Alpha is the second largest group in the National Panhellenic Conference with more than 257,000 initiated members
This women's fraternity was founded in 1898 at the State Female Normal School, now Longwood University, in Farmville, Virginia and is a part of the "Farmville Four." The "Farmville Four" refers to the four women's fraternities founded at the school, Alpha Sigma Alpha (1901), Kappa Delta (1897), Sigma Sigma Sigma (1898), and Zeta Tau Alpha (1898).
ZTA's founding sisters, known as the "Founders":
Maud Jones Horner (Died August 20, 1920)
Della Lewis Hundley (Died July 12, 1951)
Alice Bland Coleman (Died June 11, 1956)
Mary Campbell Jones Batte (Died December 3, 1957)
Alice Grey Welsh (Died June 21, 1960)
Ethel Coleman Van Name (Died January 24, 1964)
Helen May Crafford (Died September 17, 1964)
Frances Yancey Smith (Died April 23, 1977)
In addition, the Founders chose Themis in 1903 as their patron goddess to represent the fraternity. Today, Themis is also the name of ZTA's quarterly magazine which features collegiate and alumnae chapter news, photos and achievements.
Their open motto is "Seek the Noblest."
