Zeta Phi Beta was founded January 16, 1920, on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. Its founders created Zeta Phi Beta because they believed that elitism and socializing had overshadowed what should be the real mission of sororities-to address and correct the problems of society, particularly in the African-American community. The founders, who were also known as the "Five Pearls," believed that active interest, high principles and standards, and a good scholarly average were the things that should determine membership rather than having a certain look or status. The sorority was founded on the principles of Scholarship, Service, Sisterly Love, and Finer Womanhood. Local | National |
