Our Heritage

The Founders of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated
Our Five Pearls
Our Heritage Began with Sisterhood. Our Focus Remains Service. On January 16, 1920, our founders, Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings and Fannie Pettie Watts, collectively known as the “Five Pearls,” set out to establish a sisterhood that would help raise the consciousness of their people, encourage the highest standards of academic and personal achievement, and address the societal ills disproportionately affecting disadvantaged communities.
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, a community-conscious, action-oriented organization, was founded on the campus of Howard University on the principles of scholarship, service, sisterhood, and finer womanhood.
Honoring the Past. Focusing on Today. Defining the Future.
