The founders chose the colors, flowers, and the motto of Zeta Tau Alpha to represent the brotherhood. The five-pointed crown is the ultimate official symbol of brotherhood. Strawberries are a secondary symbol after the crown. Purple white is the official flower of ZTA, and the official color is turquoise blue and steel gray. ZTA does not have any gems or official gemstones.
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 featuring news, photos, and achievements of colleagues and alumni chapters.
