What is the significance of Founders Day for Zeta Phi Beta members?

• A. It marks the founding of the first chapter only
• B. It commemorates the founding of the sorority and its commitment to service, scholarship, and sisterhood
• C. It is the day of the sorority's chartering ceremony
• D. It celebrates an annual fundraising drive

Answer: (B)

Founders Day centers on recognizing the founding of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and recommitting to the values its founders set—service, scholarship, and sisterhood. It honors the five founders who established the sorority at Howard University on January 16, 1920, and invites members to embody those commitments in daily life through service to others, academic excellence, and supportive sisterhood. It’s not about the founding of a single chapter, a chartering ceremony, or a fundraising drive; its essence is the birth of the sorority and its ongoing mission to live out its principles.
