THE AMAZINGLY AMBITIOUS ALPHA RHO CHAPTER OF ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY INC.
Welcome to the home page of the Oh So Sweet Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.
There comes a time in all of our lives
When we have to push, pull, and strive
We won't know how to make it through
There will be times we just won't know what to do
For those times there is something we must see
There is no longer I-- but, us, our and we
This is when the call to sisterhood comes into play
When we remember we are one and we can find a way
The call to sisterhood means to be there when no one is around
This means we must lift each other up when we are down
We realize that we may not always get along
But being sisters, if we hang in there, we will always be strong
We will realize our differences and what we have the same
We should always be respectful, loving and never cast blame
We may get frustrated but this we should know
We are sisters; we must never let anger show
The call to sisterhood requires us to work together
It means should we separate, we are still sisters forever
As sisters we are to comfort and understand
Realize our shortcomings; never demand
Never Cause guilt, malice, or strife
May we remind you, we are sisters for life?
It can be hard at times and we knew that it would
But that is all right for we are answering the call to sisterhood
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was founded January 16th 1920 on the campus of Howard University in Washington DC by five Illustrious Women known as our Five Pearls:
Arizona Cleaver Stemmons, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, Fannie Pettie Watts and Pearl Anna Neal. These women dared to depart from the traditional coalitions for black women and sought to establish a new organization predicated on the precepts of Scholarship, Service, Sisterly Love and Finer Womanhood!
Since its inception, our Sorority has chronicled a number of firsts. Zeta Phi Beta was the first Greek-letter organization to charter a chapter in Africa (1948); to form adult and youth auxiliary groups; to centralize its operations in a national headquarters; and to be constitutionally bound to a fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated.
