About the Organization

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated (ΖΦΒ) was founded on January 16, 1920, at Howard University by five trailblazing women. The sorority is built on the principles of Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. It is a historically Black sorority and a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council. With over 125,000 initiated members and more than 900 chapters worldwide, the organization is known for its community-conscious, action-oriented programs, including Z-HOPE (Zetas Helping Other People Excel).

About the Team

Established in 1948 by the 12th International President and first Executive Secretary (now Executive Director), Lullelia Walker Harrison, the International Headquarters (IHQ) of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was the first Black sorority to establish a national headquarters. The IHQ team works collaboratively to support the sorority’s mission and ensure efficient and effective operations across its numerous chapters worldwide. Grounded in our core values, integrity, diversity, equity, inclusion, respect, collaboration, and accountability, the team serves as the neutral center of global operations. The team strives to be the catalyst for modern, innovative, reliable, and sustainable solutions that create effective business practices, enhance the member experience, and promote the global community impact of the organization.

As an organization founded by five, Black women, we acknowledge that BIPOC and woman-identifying candidates are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every requirement. Do not be deterred if your experience does not align perfectly with every qualification in the job posting.

The International Headquarters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated works to include diversity among its workforce and does not discriminate in the selection of its employees based on factors including but not limited to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, income, marital status or other characteristics protected under federal.
