Meet the Chapter President

Founded January 16, 1920.

​Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was founded on the campus of Howard University on January 16, 1920as the the sister organization to Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. The five founders of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, Fannie Pettie Watts, and Pearl A. Neal chose not to embrace the tenets of established black sororities, and chartered Zeta Phi Beta Sorority 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.​

These ideals are reflected in the sorority’s national programs for which its members and auxiliary groups provide significant volunteer service, financial capital, and professional talent to educate the public, assist youth, enrich community outreach programs, fund scholarships, support organized charities and promote legislation for civic and social change.
