Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was chartered in Washington, D.C., on March 30, 1923.

Zeta Phi Beta, one of the prominent national African-American sororities, was chartered on March 30, 1923, three years after the organization was founded on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. The sorority was chartered by members Myrtle Tyler, Gladys Warrington, Joanna Houston, Josephine Johnson and O. Goldia Smith.
