Zeta Phi Beta— Five Howard University coeds started Zeta Phi Beta back in 1920 on the principles of scholarship, service, sisterhood and finer womanhood. 

Today, the more than 125,000 Zeta Phi Beta sorors head up advocacy programs like Z-HOPE, which provides community service and mentoring. Famous sorors include Harlem Renaissance author Zora Neale Hurston, comedian Sheryl Underwood – who also served a stint as president – and singers Syleenah Johnson and Dionne Warwick
