Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

Zeta Phi Beta Greek letters
Founded January 16, 1920, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc began as an idea conceived by five coeds at Howard University in Washington D.C.: Arizona Cleaver, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler, Viola Tyler, and Fannie Pettie. These five women, also known as our Five Pearls, dared to depart from the traditional coalitions for black women and sought to establish a new organization predicated on the precepts of Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood and Finer Womanhood.
