Frequently Asked Questions
- I want to join a sorority. Which one is the best one for me?
Joining a sorority, especially one under the National Pan-Hellenic Council is a life long commitment. Therefore, it is important that you do research and make your choice wisely as to which sorority, if any, is right for you. Greek life is not for everyone. The best way to start is by going to the national websites of each sorority and reading about their programs and history. Visit the National Pan-Hellenic Council webpage for links to each of the organizations. - What is Zeta Phi Beta?
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated is a community based, action oriented organization founded on January 16, 1920 by five dynamic women on the campus of Howard University In Washington, D.C. - I hear a lot of Zetas talking about Finer Womanhood. What is this?
Finer Womanhood is a principle that all women of Zeta Phi Beta live by and one of the tenets the sisterhood was founded upon. - I've decided that I want to be a Zeta, but I don't know that much about the organization. Where can I find out more information?
You can learn more about Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. at our National Website or by doing a web search of Zeta Phi Beta using search engines such as Google, Yahoo, or WebCrawler. The hundreds of websites created by members of the sorority can help you get an idea of the type of women Zeta is made up of. - What are the requirements for membership?
- You must be enrolled in a 4 year university or college as a full time student (12 or more units), with at least 12 units completed at the college or university. First semester freshmen are ineligible for membership.
- You must have at least a cumulative GPA of 2.3 on a 4.0 scale. A 2.29 will not cut it. There is no rounding up in Zeta. A 2.30 or above. No exceptions.
- You must show an active interest in Zeta Phi Beta. This can be exhibited through participation in chapter programs and community service projects sponsored by the chapter.
- You must have either campus or community involvement. Leadership skills are always a plus.
- It seems as though once you join a sorority, it becomes your main focus. Will I have to make the sorority my first priority if I become a member?
As an undergraduate, your first priority is school. Zeta Phi Beta is an extracurricular and should never take the place of your academics. You can devote as much or as little time as you wish to Zeta. But in order for the organization to thrive, there must be work done on its behalf. Time management and prioritizing are key.
