Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
Kappa Eta Chapter
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1920, on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C., as the sister organization to Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Five women chose not to embrace the tenets of established Black sororities, and chartered Zeta Phi Beta Sorority to encourage the highest standards of scholarship through scientific, literary, cultural, and educational programs; promote service projects on college campuses and in the community; foster sisterhood; and exemplify the ideal of Finer Womanhood. A private nonprofit organization, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is incorporated in Washington, D.C. and in the state of Illinois.
Since its inception, the sorority has chronicled a number of "first" among the established Black sororities. In addition to being the only organization constitutionally bound to a fraternity, the sorority was the first to charter international chapters, those in West Africa and Germany; to form adult and youth auxiliary groups, the Amicae, Archonettes, Amicettes, and Pearlettes; and to organize its internal affairs within a central, national office administered by a paid staff.
Zeta Phi Beta's purpose is to foster the ideals of service, charity, scholarship, civic, and cultural endeavors, sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. These ideals are reflected in the sorority's national programs for which its members and auxiliary groups provide untotaled hours of voluntary service to staff community outreach programs, fund scholarships, support organized charities and promote legislation for social and civic change.
