INFORMATION ABOUT ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY, iNC.
From https://zphib1920.org/our-history/
"
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded January 16, 1920,
at Howard University, Washington, D.C.
The Klan was very active during this period and the Harlem Renaissance
was acknowledged as the first important movement of Black artists and writers
in the U.S. This same year the Volstead
Act became effective heralding the start of Prohibition and Tennessee delivered
the crucial 36th ratification for the final adoption of the 19th amendment
giving women the right to vote. The
worst and longest economic recession to hit the U.S. would define the end of
the decade-The Great Depression.
It was within this environment that five coeds envisioned a
sorority which would directly affect positive change, chart a course of action
for the 1920s and beyond, raise consciousness of their people, encourage the
highest standards of scholastic achievement, and foster a greater sense of
unity among its members. These women
believed that sorority elitism and socializing overshadowed the real mission
for progressive organizations and failed to address fully the societal mores,
ills, prejudices, and poverty affecting humanity in general and the black
community in particular.
Since its inception, Zeta has continued its steady climb
into the national spotlight with programs designed to demonstrate concern for
the human condition both nationally and internationally. The organization has been innovative in that
it has chronicled a number of firsts. It
was the first National Pan-Hellenic Council organization to centralize its
operations in a national headquarters, first to charter a chapter in Africa,
first to form auxiliary groups, and first to be constitutionally bound to a
fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
The sorority takes pride in its continued participation in transforming
communities through volunteer services from members and its auxiliaries. Zeta Phi Beta has chartered hundreds of
chapters worldwide and has a membership of 100,000+."...

LYRICS TO "A ZETA TRAIN IS A-SLOWLY PUSHING"
Pink and Green you don't mean a thing
Red and White get out of my sight
'Cause you haven't seen a lady until you've seen a Zeta
She'll be wearing the lovely Blue and White...keep on
pushin...
It's a hard road, searching for my Beta
It's a hard road to Zeta Land
Don't wanna be no AKA, Delta just won't do
Don't wanna Ee-yip-yip for no SGRho
Just wanna wear that White and Blue.
Zeta Train is a slowly pushing, gotta keep on moving
Pink and Green you don't mean a thing
Red and White get out of my sight
'Cause you haven't seen a lady until you've seen a Zeta
She'll be wearing the lovely Blue and White...keep on
pushin...
