Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. was founded on January 16, 1920 at Howard University. Our principles are Finer Womanhood, Scholarship, Service and Sisterhood. Our Adopt-a-School national program allows members of Zeta Phi Beta to identify low performing schools and provide assistance in a number of ways to enhance the educational experience, increase test scores and grades. Members purchase supplies and/or equipment, provide volunteer hours, assist with parent engagement programs and work with administrators to identify needs that may be specific to that particular school.
