Zeta Tau Alpha's Coat of Arms holds many of our important symbols; the five-point crown, the white violet, the five links, and the colors turquoise and gray. |

The banner of the Zeta Tau Alpha is rectangular and made of turquoise and gray satin. It bears the letter "A," the word "Themis" in Greek, and a burning torch. The meaning of the banner is secret, but it may be hung in a place that is visible to anyone entering a chapter house, suite, etc. |
