Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority was founded January
16, 1920 on the campus of Howard University in
Washington, D.C. by five coeds. These women dared to depart
from the traditional coalitions for Black women and sought to
establish a new organization predicated on the
precepts of Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood and Finer
Womanhood. The trail blazed by the Founders
has been traversed by thousands of women dedicated to the
emulation of the objectives and ideals of the Sorority.
The Sorority was the, first
Greek-letter organization to charter a chapter in Africa
(1948); to form adult and youth auxiliary groups, the Amicae,
Archonettes, Amicettes, and Pearlettes; and to be
constitutionally bound to a brother group, Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity, Incorporated.
Zeta's national and local programs
include endowment of its National Educational Foundation;
community outreach services; and support of multiple affiliate
organizations. Zeta chapters and auxiliary groups have given
untotaled hours of voluntary service to educate the public,
assist youth, provide scholarships, support organized
charities and promote legislation for social and civic
change.
A nonprofit organization, Zeta Phi Beta
is incorporated in Washington, D.C. and in the state of
Illinois. The Sorority is supported by the dues and gifts of
its members.
