Zeta Tau Alpha is a nationally recognized fraternity founded October 15, 1898, by nine women at the State Female Normal School in Farmville, Virginia. Only 14 and 15 years of age, these young women were dedicated to the formation of a Greek-letter group but encountered delays. A temporary name of "???" was taken when, as legend has it, a member of another group met with the Founders. Raising her eyebrows 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 known as "???" while they sought an appropriate Greek name and symbols.

The Rochester NY Alumnae Chapter is made up of women from many colleges and who have settled in the Rochester area. The group meets about once a month for social or community activities and to keep the ZTA spirit alive in Rochester.
