Pins

The pins and badges of Zeta Tau Alpha include the Pledge Pin, the Badge, The Coat of Arms, the Order of the Shield pin, the White Violet Pin, Mothers Pin, and Recognition Pins. The Pledge pin is in the shape of a carpenter’s square and is given to those pledging to be a member of Zeta Tau Alpha. Once these pledging members go through initiation they turn in their pledge pin and receive the Zeta Tau Alpha badge that is a small shield, bearing a five-pointed crown with the letter ZTA arranged around it. This badge is only worn by initiated members of Zeta Tau Alpha and may be worn on all occasions with business attire. The Coat of Arms may also only be worn by initiated members and its meaning and significance is revealed only to initiated members. The Order of the Shield pin is given to Zeta Tau Alphas upon their 50th anniversary of membership. The White Violet Pin is given to ZTA alumnae as a 75-year charm. The Mothers Pin is a small turquoise and silver crown pin with a white violet sketched in the center. This pin is given to the mothers of initiated members.
