The "History" of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority,  Inc. was founded on January 16, 1920 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. by Arizona Leedonia Cleaver Stemmons, Viola Tyler Goings, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Fannie Pettie Watts, and Pearl Anna Neal, our five pearls — African-American women. 
 
These women dared to depart from the traditional coalitions for African-American women and sought to establish a new organization based the ideology of scholarship, service, sisterly love, and finer womanhood. 

These women were inspired two brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Charles Taylor and Langston Taylor. 

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., is the first and only sorority to be constitutionally bound to a brother fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. 

 


 Our flower is the white rose.

 

The dove is our symbol.
