The Woman’s Athletic Association was one of the most representative organizations on the SFA campus. It was also the largest. It was organized in 1925. The ideal being promoted was that women should “weigh more carefully the value and necessity of physical training.” The idea of feminine beauty unaccompanied by health was decried. Their contention was that “every girl has her sport;” some use a tennis racket, others dance, others do more organize group sports. They requested women from all groups on campus.

They held two meetings a month, the first business mixed with an interesting program, and the second, “strictly social.” The WAA cooperated with the Physical Education Department in the development of women's athletics. Its aim, according to the 1926 Stone Fort was “to promote all physical activities and to encourage a spirit of good sportsmanship, loyalty and honor.” It maintained an award system within the club based on the points secured in a “graduated point system based on physical ability in each sport.” The organization was a member of state and nations athletic associations. At the first state meeting, representatives Miss Virginia Broadfoot and Miss Audrey Hanna, made it known that there was a college in Nacogodches, “a very up-and-doing school, which was coming to the front with a bang.”

The WAA Council was “the nucleus” around which the large organization worked. The WAA sponsored a campus wide “Play Day,” of sports activities which was very popular in the 1920s. They also included visits to Fern Lake for boating and swimming as part of their activities or social meetings. Sometimes, the special activities included women from other Teachers' Colleges in Texas and Louisiana.
