Zeta Phi Beta

Zeta Phi Beta was founded January 16, 1920, on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. Its founders created Zeta Phi Beta because they believed that elitism and socializing had overshadowed what should be the real mission of sororities-to address and correct the problems of society, particularly in the African-American community. The "Five Pearls" believed that active interest, high principles and standards, and a good scholarly average were the things that should determine membership rather than having a certain look or status.

The sorority was founded on the principles of Scholarship, Service, Sisterly Love, and Finer Womanhood. Zeta Phi Beta is the only NPHC sorority that is constitutionally bound to a brother fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Two of its members, A. Langston Taylor and Charles Taylor, were instrumental in helping Zeta Phi Beta become established. Zeta Phi Beta is the first sorority to charter a chapter in Africa, establish auxiliary groups, and have a paid international headquarters.[citation needed] Today there are also chapters in U.S. Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Bahamas, Japan, Korea, Barbados, and Haiti.
