Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded on January 16, 1920 at Howard University by five illustrious women, with the help of two Fraternity brothers, Charles Robert Taylor and A. Langston Taylor. These five women, also known as our Five Pearls, were trailblazers who chose not to embrace the tenets of traditional organizations for African American women and chartered Zeta predicated upon the ideals of Scholarship, Service, Sisterly Love and Finer Womanhood.

With these ideals under their wings, Zeta Phi Beta has chronicled a number of "firsts" since its inception. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was the first African American Greek letter sorority to charter a chapter in Africa; the first to form adult and youth auxiliary groups; the first to establish a national headquarters; and the first and only African American Greek letter organization to be constitutionally bound to a fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Thus making Zeta Phi Beta Sigma the only true Sister/Brother Organizations in African American greekdom.

As an international service organization, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. has over 100,000 members in more than 600 chapters including: Continental United States, Hawaii, West Africa, West Germany, Bahamas Islands, Virgin Islands, South Korea, and Italy. Our auxiliary groups consist of the Amicae, Archonettes, Amicettes, Pearlettes, Stork's Nest Charity Fund and the Zeta Male Network.
