Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was founded on the simple belief that sorority elitism and socializing should not overshadow the real mission for progressive organizations-to address societal mores, ills, prejudices, poverty , and health concerns of the day. Founded January 16, 1920, Zeta began as an ideal conceived by five coeds at Howard University. The purpose of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is to foster the ideas of service, charity, scholarship, sisterhood and finer womanhood. These ideals are reflected in the sorority's national program for which its members and auxiliary groups provide voluntary service to staff, community outreach programs, fund scholarships, support organized charities, and promote legislation for social and civic change. Some famous Zeta Phi Beta's are:

Sheryl Underwood
Gwendolyn Brooks
