Today, we celebrate and uplift the black and gold men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated on their 117th Anniversary!

Seven young men came together at Cornell University on December 4th, 1906 to build a brotherhood that not only supports and encourages black students to pursue higher education, but also focuses on serving the community.

Throughout its history, Alpha Phi Alpha has played a significant role in the civil rights movement and has been involved in various social and political initiatives aimed at addressing racial inequality. The fraternity carries the legacy of strong commitment to community service and continues to contribute to numerous charitable causes.

Happy Founders’ Day to our brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha!

Today, we celebrate and uplift the royal blue and gold with our sisters of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated, on their 101st Anniversary!

Seven educators came together at Butler University on November 12, 1922, to build a sorority that not only supports and encourages black women to pursue higher education but also focuses on serving the black community. We love that they are resoundingly consistent about service, rolling up their sleeves and going into communities to get work done.

Happy Founders' Day!

Let the spiritual light of love and the sparkle of joy illuminate your life this Diwali as it brings about new beginnings, victory, freedom, and enlightenment. May goodness and purity brighten your path and bring the warmth of family and friends as they surround you.

Happy Diwali from the women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.!

November is Native American Heritage Month, also known as American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. This observance commemorates the diverse cultures and history of Indigenous Americans and serves as a vital educational opportunity on topics that specifically affect Indigenous people.

Zeta Phi Beta shines a light on the importance of their legacy and continued impact on American history and culture. We are proud to celebrate our Sorors of indigenous heritage and their contributions that are integral to the beautiful tapestry of diversity that comprises our Sisterhood.

Every year, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated stands in solidarity to strengthen our commitment to ending domestic violence and supporting those affected by it.

Today we celebrate Purple Thursday with organizations nationwide committed to standing up to make a difference and empower every individual to find strength and healing.

Domestic violence affects people from all walks of life, and it's our duty to break the silence, raise awareness, and offer our unwavering support. Let's continue the conversation, educate ourselves and others, and work towards creating a world where everyone can live free from fear and violence.

We cannot imagine the ongoing fear, trauma, and unease experienced by those directly impacted by the Hamas attack and the retaliatory attacks that continue across the area. We join those who mourn the innocent lives that are being lost in a decades long conflict they had no hand in. While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one that causes much polarization, we call for an extension of compassion for the innocent; and we offer our deepest condolences and prayers to the victims, families, friends, and communities affected by these attacks.

Mental Health is not a sign of weakness, but a testament to our strength and resilience. World Mental Health Day is our way of recognizing and understanding that caring for our mental health and emotional well-being is just as crucial as our physical health.

Today, be intentional about checking on your loved ones - including your friends. Let's break the stigma surrounding mental health - it doesn’t have a way that it’s supposed to “look” on someone. Just be kind. Encourage open conversations. Lend a listening ear, offer a hug or give someone a word of support, as they may be struggling in silence.
If that someone is you - remember that you are never alone on this journey.

Take time for self-care, practice mindfulness, and prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. Together, we can create a supportive and understanding community where everyone's mental health is valued and protected.

Today, we pay tribute and celebrate the life of our remarkable Triumphant Founder Pearl Anna Neal. Her vision and dedication for Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated blazed a trail of excellence that continues to inspire us all.

Triumphant Founder Neal's commitment to , , , and set the foundation for our sorority's enduring values. Her unwavering spirit and leadership reminds us to always strive for greatness and uplift one another.

May we continue to honor her legacy by living out the principles she held dear, and by continuing to make a positive impact within our communities.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebrates the resilience, wisdom, and heritage of the First Nations. Today, we celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous people throughout history. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated is proud to celebrate the diversity that comprises our Sisterhood, and we honor the beautiful legacy of our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

Let's use this day as an opportunity to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and stand in solidarity with Indigenous people. Together, we can foster a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

In the wake of the recent gun violence at Morgan State University, our heart breaks yet again for the Bowie State University community after another senseless on-campus shooting that injured two people and turned what should be a safe space for students into one that is steeped in fear and uncertainty. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated continues to fight for policy changes to reduce the likelihood of events like this tragedy in our communities. This national crisis will require the power of our collective voices to apply the necessary pressure to move our legislators to enact change. We stand in support of the victims and their families to help bring an end to these senseless acts of gun violence.

Our heart breaks for the entire Morgan State University community after last night's on-campus shooting that injured five people. We cannot imagine the ongoing fear and unease that permeates through the air as the search for the shooter continues and we reflect upon Morgan State University President Dr. David Wilson's remarks that this moment calls for reflection and focus on mental health.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is a strong advocate for policy changes that would make events like these less common. In this year alone, there have been at least 531 mass shootings, with at least 17 of these happening on a college or university campus. This is a national crisis that will take the power of our voices and continued pressure to our legislatures to create change. We join in the mission to drive awareness and policy change nationwide.

As a proud partner of the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, it is the season for all Zeta chapters and auxiliary groups to come together to raise awareness in service and donations toward finding a cure for breast cancer.

As we all know, bullying is a major problem. It has no boundaries - mentally, physically… or geographically! No matter your experiences, we all know someone that has either been bullied or been the victim of a bully - or maybe you were the bully...

How can we fix it, if we don’t address it? Prevention starts with us!

Earlier forms of bullying were shown through advantageous acts of physical aggression. Today, we are seeing more with words wielded as weapons for defamation, online trolling, and even different forms of manipulative bullying through hazing.

This goes beyond school-aged children. It’s on a collegiate level, in the workplace, in the church, your local women’s group, or it could be amongst your group of friends.

…may we never forget Shanquella Robinson…

Bullying remains largely understated and unaddressed. Turning a blind eye only fortifies a woman’s self-censorship and erodes their self-esteem. We must do better. It’s our responsibility.

So today, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. invites you to wear your orange this month, and join us in rallying for and addressing bullying to draw attention to this issue within your own communities. Together we can make a change - because everyone has a role to play in bullying prevention!

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. takes a stand every year to remind the nation that there are still countless people - victims and survivors, their children and families, their friends and family, their communities - impacted by domestic violence.

Can you imagine a future where domestic violence can be identified and responded to properly, especially in a health care setting? Imagine that process being tailored to every individual you encounter...

There is power in the .

Our advocacy extends far beyond the month of October. We will not stop until society has zero tolerance for domestic violence and until all victims and survivors can be heard.
