  • Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was organized at Howard University on January 16, 1920, as the result of encouragement given to our five founders by Charles Taylor and Langston Taylor, members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. These Sigma brothers felt the campus would benefit by the development of such an organization as sisters to the fraternity.  Thus, Zeta and Sigma became the first (and only) constitutionally bound Greek-letter sister and brother organizations.
     
    foundersOur five founders chose not to embrace the tenets of established sororities and chartered Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. to encourage the highest standards of scholarship through scientific, literary, cultural and educational programs; promote service projects on college campuses and in the community; foster sisterhood; and exemplify the ideal of Finer Womanhood.

    Our five founders (called our “Five Pearls”) of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. are Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, Fannie Pettie Watts and Pearl Anna Neal.
     
    Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., a community-conscious, action-oriented organization, is comprised of over 125,000 members in more than 800 chapters throughout the United States, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean.
