Zeta Phi Beta
Founded January 16, 1920, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. began as an idea conceived by five coeds at Howard University in Washington D.C. These five women dared to depart from the traditional coalitions for women and sought to establish a new organization predicated on the precepts of Scholarship, Service, Sisterly Love and Finer Womanhood. It was the ideal of the Founders that the Sorority would reach college women in ALL parts of the country. One of the Sorority's founders, Viola Tyler Goings, was oft quoted to say "[In the ideal collegiate situation] there is a Zeta in a girl regardless of race, creed, or color, who has high standards and principles, a good scholarly average and an active interest in all things that she undertakes to accomplish."
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is an organization of many firsts, including being the first Greek-letter organization to charter a chapter in Africa (1948); to form adult and youth auxiliary groups; and to be constitutionally bound to a fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. We will continue this trailblazing legacy at Texas Christian University.
The TCU Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. takes a holistic approach to sorority membership. We desire to feed the mind, body, and spirit of the sorority members and the community we serve via work with the Tarrant County Food Bank, local schools and campus programming that includes etiquette classes, group study sessions, financial planning workshops, and inter-Greek partnerships with IFC, PHC, MGC, and NPHC.
