Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, was founded in 1920 at Howard University. It was created by five coeds who envisioned a sorority that would directly affect positive change, raise people’s consciousness, encourage the highest standards of scholastic achievement, and foster a greater sense of unity among its members. Since then, Zeta has become a national organization with over 100,000 members, and it takes pride in its continued participation in transforming communities through volunteer services from its members and auxiliaries.

Zeta’s national and local programs include the endowment of its National Educational Foundation, community outreach services, and the support of multiple affiliate organizations. Zeta chapters and auxiliaries have given countless hours of voluntary service to educate the public, assist youth, provide scholarships, support organized charities, and promote social and civic change legislation. As the sorority moves toward its centennial, it retains its original zest for excellence, espousing the highest academic ideals, resulting in its members serving in groundbreaking roles in all fields of endeavor. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated is poised for perpetual service to mankind into her second century and beyond.
