Zeta Phi Beta Crest

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded on January 16, 1920 at Howard University in Washington D.C. by five illustrious women: Arizona Cleaver Stemmons, Viola Tyler Goings, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Pearl A. Neal and Fannie Pettie Watts. These women believed in the need for a new and different type of Greek-lettered organization based on the principles of Scholarship, Service, Sisterly Love and Finer Womanhood. The foundation laid by the founders has been traversed by thousands of women dedicated to upholding the objectives and ideas of the sorority.

Zeta’s national and local programs include endowment of its National Educational Foundation, community outreach services and the support of multiple affiliate organizations. Zeta chapters and auxiliary groups have given countless hours of voluntary service to educate the public, assist youth, provide scholarships, support organized charities and promote legislation for social and civic reform.
