| Zeta Tau Alpha was founded October 15, 1898 by nine women at the State Female Normal School in Farmville, Virginia. Only 14-15 years of age, these young women desired permanence to their friendships and hope to perpetuate their sisterhood long after college. Through dedication to the formation of a Greek-letter group, the band of nine delayed selecting a formal name. A temporary name of "???" was taken when, as legend has it, a memeber of another group met with the Founders. Raising her eyebrow and forming her fingers in the shape of a question mark, she asked, "Who are you?" In unison, the group answered "Yes, Who? Who? Who?" Thus, the group came to be know as "???" while they received valuable assistance from two of the members' brothers - Maud's brother, Plummer Jones, and Frances Yancey Smith's brother Giles Melbane Smith. Both were students at the college of William and Mary, members of men's Greek letter organizations and knowledgeable of Greek lore. After a year of areful cotmeplation, the group shose the formal name, the patron goddess and the badge. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
