A Legacy of Service and Sisterhood Founded on January 16, 1920, at Howard University, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. (ΖΦΒ) is a historically African American sorority with a rich legacy of scholarship, service, sisterhood, and finer womanhood. Here's a glimpse into our story:
​
​Founding Principles:

  • Scholarship: Dedicated to academic excellence and intellectual growth.
  • Service: Committed to improving the lives of others through community service and activism.
  • Sisterhood: Fostering strong bonds of friendship and support among members.
  • Finer Womanhood: Promoting ethical and moral values

Organizational Firsts:
  • First Greek-letter organization to charter a chapter in Africa (1948): This groundbreaking expansion established Zeta Phi Beta in Liberia, demonstrating their commitment to global sisterhood and supporting the African diaspora.
  • First to form adult and youth auxiliary groups: The Pearlettes (4-8), Amicettes (9-13), and Archonette Clubs (14-18) provide young women with mentorship, service opportunities, and a pathway to the sorority.
  • First to centralize operations in a national headquarters: This efficient setup ensured smooth administrative functioning and streamlined communication across the organization.
  • First and only sorority to be constitutionally bound to a fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.: This unique bond fosters collaboration and strengthens the ties between Black Greek-letter organizations.

Present-day:
  • Active chapters across the United States and internationally
  • Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
  • Continued commitment to their founding principles​
