Chapter History

The Iota Rho chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha was founded at East Carolina University in 1987.

Our Queen Anne style house is the most elaborately detailed house of its type remaining in Greenville today, it is also known as the E.B. Ficklen House. It is the oldest Zeta Tau Alpha house in the nation! Originally dominating a full city block, the Ficklen House borders to the east the main railroad spur line into Greenville, and it once was one of several impressive late nineteenth and early twentieth century homes lining 5th Street, a fashionable residential neighborhood.

This house has fostered lifelong memories for sisters past & present. We love to gather here to share meals and host sisterhood events as well.
