This has been discussed (without identifying any purported secrets) on GC many times, but here's the thing: the claim always seems to be either that "the writer" or "the animator" was a ZTA who put ZTA symbols or secrets in. Well, according to IMDb, The Little Mermaid had 6 writers (not counting Hans Christian Andersen), and all were men. So that seems to rule out a ZTA writer putting any ZTA secrets in the script.
The movie would have had many animators, most of whom likely would not have had much freedom to add symbols, at least not with the prominence that is often claimed. Those things would have been overseen, I think, by the 16 or so storyboard artists and visual development artists, only 1 of whom per IMDb, Brenda Chapman, was female—and she is a graduate of CalArts, which has no Greek life.
So . . . . Coincidence and urban legend?
