Zeta Phi Beta had its beginning at Howard University, january 16, 1920. The founders of the Sorority were Viola Tyler, Pearl Neal, Fannie Pet- tie, and Arizonia Cleaver. Feeling the need of having an outstanding move- ment, one that would be in keeping with the ideals upon which the sorority was founded, the idea of Finer Womanhood XVeelc was adopted. The objective of Finer XVomanhood, programs of sisterly love and scholarship, has brought togeth- er women from all parts of the United States and some parts of Africa, who have similar taste and aspirations for higher attainment. The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority on Philander Smith College-'s campus is determined to keep the light of Zeta burning, not only in the heart of every Zeta, but others as well. Their community service projects throughout the years have been a fulfill- ment of their pledge to finer womanhood through greater service. 96

Although much emphasis is often placed upon the social aspects of fraternal organiza- tions, the enrichment and development of high schol- arship, strong character, and encouraging outstanding achievements in the lives of all its members and all The four cardinal principles that serve as a but- tress and a beacon, constantly attracting new mem bers to dedicated service are: MANHOOD SCHOLARSHIP, PERSEVERANCE and UPLIFT. those who come in contact with the high principles which characterize its members, are the principal ob- jectives of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
