Before the fraternity's official founding and long before the name Zeta Tau Alpha was selected, the strawberry became symbolic to our sisterhood.  Mary Campbell (they called her Cammie) had a secret admirer.  One day, he sent her a gift of strawberries.  Cammie brought the delicious treat to share with a group of her closest friends.  This event was the first social gathering of Zeta sisters and marked the beginning of their being officially recognized as an organization.
