On this day in 1920 (Jan. 16), Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded on the campus of Howard University. On the pillars of “Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood,” the ladies of Z-Phi-B carry a rich sense of culture and have a mission to be the best in their respective fields.
We have seen traces of Finer Womanhood in politics, music, public service, and more. In entertainment, Zeta Phi Beta women have shined on TV and in film. These ladies have no problem bringing their grace and style to the medium with every show or movie.
