Zeta Phi Beta 
Zeta Phi Beta was founded January 16, 1920, on the campus of Howard University in Washington D.C. It was first incorporated on March 30, 1923 in Washington, D.C. by the members of the sorority known as "The Five Pearls". They believed that there were more important social issues to address such as health issues, prejudices, and poverty. They wanted Zeta Phi Beta to reach college women all across the nation who wanted to join a sorority organization with a greater sense of helping others and fostering educational excellence. It was in this spirit and with this purpose that Zeta Phi Beta was created.
