Zetas of Rock Hill

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated was founded on January 16, 1920 on the campus of Howard University by five women: Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings and Fannie Pettie Watts.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was organized as the result of encouragement given to the five Founders by Charles Taylor and Langston Taylor, members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated. These Sigma brothers felt the campus would benefit by the development of such an organization as sisters to the fraternity. Thus, Zetas and Sigmas became the only constitutionally bound Greek-letter brother and sister organizations.
