ZETA PHI BETA

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded January 16, 1920 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. Five outstanding women dared to depart from the traditional coalitions for Black women and sought to establish a new organization with the help of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. The principles of this fine organization are scholarship, service, sisterly love, and finer womanhood. Their motto is "All is Conquered by Labor" This sorority along with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. is the only true brother/sister organization. As a result , we are often referred to as ZETA PHI BETA SIGMA. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is the first organization to be chartered in Africa in 1948, to form adult and youth auxiliary groups, (the Amicae and Archonettes, respectively), and to be bound constitutionally to a brother fraternity. The membership of Zeta Phi Beta includes women in the professions of medicine, law, dentistry, pharmacy, fine arts, music, painting and all of the fields of higher learning. These women have become an integral part of the community life of the country and have interested themselves in civic and social betterment throughout the country.

The Phi chapter was founded April 16,1929 at Virginia State University.  The colors are  Royal Blue and Pure White.
