Taking it right back where it all started on the campus of Howard University.
Founded in 1920, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated believes that the social nature of sorority life should not overshadow the real mission of progressive organizations-to address societal mores, ills, prejudices, poverty, and health concerns of the day.
The international organization's more than 100,000 initiated members and affiliates have given millions of voluntary hours to educate the public, provide scholarships, support organized charities and promote legislation for social and civic change. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated has more than 800 chapters in the United States, Japan, Germany, the Republic of Korea, and the Caribbean.
In addition to its membership of college-educated woman, the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated umbrella includes Amicae (adult women), Archonettes (teen girls), Amicettes (pre-teen girls), Pearlettes (elementary age girls), and the Zeta Male Network auxiliaries.
