On what date is Founders Day celebrated by Zeta Phi Beta?

• A. February 14
• B. January 16
• C. January 1
• D. December 25

Answer: (B)

Founders Day honors the date Zeta Phi Beta was founded. Zeta Phi Beta was founded on January 16, 1920, at Howard University in Washington, D.C., by five visionary women. Because the date of the founding is January 16, the sorority celebrates Founders Day on that date each year. The other dates correspond to unrelated holidays—Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Day, and Christmas—so they don’t mark ZPB’s beginnings.
