On February 11th, 2024, the Gamma Chi Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was chartered at the University of Georgia. 11 women chartered the chapter just one week before their official new member presentation which took place on February 17th, 2024 at the Tate Student Center.
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated is one of the nine organizations that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council.
“Returning to campus is a long-awaited homecoming for Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated, signifying a new beginning and an opportunity to make a lasting impact on UGA’s campus,” said President Ezra Lewis. “It means so much to the charter members of the Gamma Chi chapter that we get to contribute to the long and rich history of Zetas and we take that responsibility seriously.”
Although Zeta Phi Beta has only been on campus for a few months, they have been very active within the community. Some of the ways the chapter has served include the UGA Dawg Day of Service, participating in numerous Black History Month Programs, undergoing leadership training, performing at the NPHC Night basketball game, and doing street cleanups in Athens.
“Looking towards the future, we commit to uplifting Black and minority issues at UGA, weaving advocacy into the fabric of the Zeta vision to be a community-conscious, action-oriented service organization, both on campus and off campus,” said Lewis. “We also commit to providing safe spaces and support to all the people that we have the opportunity to impact. We are very excited for this opportunity to make a difference and show UGA what Zeta Phi Beta is all about!”
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was organized at Howard University in Washington, D.C. on January 16, 1920, and the organization’s principles are Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. To learn more about Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, visit https://zphib1920.org/.
