Our Five Founders
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, is a historically African-American sorority that was founded on January 16, 1920, at Howard University in Washington, D.C. The founders were all motivated by a desire to create a sorority that would promote academic excellence, service to the community, and sisterhood among African American women. They also wanted to create a sorority that would be different from the other sororities on campus.
The sorority was founded by five women: Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, Fannie Pettie Watts, and Pearl Anna Neal. Zeta Phi Beta's principles are scholarship, service, sisterhood, and finer womanhood.
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated has a long and distinguished history of service to the community. The sorority has been involved in a wide range of initiatives, including education, healthcare, social justice, and disaster relief. Zetas have also been leaders in the fight for civil rights and equality for African Americans. The sorority is committed to making a difference in the lives of others and to creating a more just and equitable society.
