Zeta Tau Alpha grieves loss of chapter member at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Zeta Tau Alpha is mourning the death of Elizabeth Grace Burton, more commonly called Grace, a sister of Theta Tau Chapter at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who passed away Saturday, March 11, 2023.

Grace, 19, from Charlotte, North Carolina, was a freshman who joined ZTA in fall 2022. Grace was the current Sisterhood Chair for her chapter.

“Grace had the best smile and attitude. She was hilarious and didn't fail to make anyone laugh. But, most importantly, she was intentional,” said Grace’s close friend SK Henderson. “Grace loved being a ZTA and I truly feel she exemplified all of the best qualities of a successful and strong ZTA woman.”

ZTA Fraternity leaders, chapter advisors and the university staff and counseling services are providing support to members of Theta Tau Chapter.

Zeta Tau Alpha sends its deepest sympathies to Grace’s family during this incredibly sad time.
