Our Heritage Began with Sisterhood. Our Focus Remains Service.

 

On January 16, 1920, our founders set out to establish a sisterhood that would help raise the consciousness of their people, encourage the highest standards of academic and personal achievement, and address the societal ills disproportionately affecting disadvantaged communities.

 

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, a community-conscious, action-oriented organization, was founded on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC on the principles of scholarship, service, sisterhood, and finer womanhood.
