Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was founded January 16,
1920 on the campus of Howard University. Our "Five Pearls"
sought their vision of establishing a new organization based
on Scholarship, Srvice, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. Along
with the spupport of our brother freaternity, Phi Beta Sigma,
Incorporated, Zeta was conceived and has been prosperous ever
since. Zeta Phi Beta and Phi Beta Sigma are the only constitutionally
bound brother and sister organization nationally recognized
today.
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is on the move and continues to uphold
its principles through various community efforts. Zeta structures
its community service around its Seven Point Plan of Action
which addresses issues such as education, health and human
services, leadership, and economic development. Recently,
Zeta Phi Beta took on The Human Genome Project as yet another
conscious effort to educate and inform our community. Today
Zeta consists of more than 600 chapters, including chapters
in the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, and West Africa. Zeta
Phi Beta was the first Greek letter sorority established in
Africa in 1948.
The Omicron Nu chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. at
UWG was originally chartered in May 1987. These African American
women support our national project by providing services at
the Stork's Nesst Blitz which provides prenatal care to underprivileged
mothers. Omicron Nu continues to enhance our "Five Pearls"
vision through community service and promoting greek unity
and sisterly love.
