AJC Sepia Greek Spotlight: The Founders of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority
1 / 7
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was founded on Jan. 16, 1920 under the belief that there was a need for a new and different type of Greek-lettered organization and acted upon that need. To these women, Zeta was more than an organization, it was a movement, a belief system that reflected, at its core, the desire to provide true Service, to embrace Scholarship, to set a standard for Sisterly Love and to define the noble concept of Finer Womanhood. This belief has sustained and encouraged Zetas around the world to hold fast to the ideals initiated and developed by its earliest members. The Founders of Zeta were strong, principled coeds who possessed a great deal of modesty, strength of character and pride in academic achievement.
