Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded January 16, 1920, at Howard University, Washington, D.C. 

Five women chartered Zeta Phi Beta Sorority to:

• encourage the highest standards of scholarship through scientific, literary, cultural and educational programs;

• promote service projects on college campuses and in the community;

• foster sisterhood; and

• exemplify the ideal of Finer Womanhood. 

Zeta Phi Beta fosters the ideals of service, charity, scholarship, civic and cultural endeavors, sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. These ideals are reflected in the sorority’s national programs for which its members and auxiliary groups provide countless hours of voluntary service to staff community outreach programs, fund scholarship, support organized charities and promote legislation for social and civic change.
