Adopt-A-School allows members of Zeta Phi Beta to identify low performing schools and provide assistance in a number of ways to enhance the educational experience, increase test scores and grades. Members purchase supplies and/or equipment, provide volunteer hours, assist with parent engagement programs and work with administrators to identify needs that may be specific to that particular school.

​Elder Care Initiative strives to provide education and awareness about preparing for your senior years. The African American community is least prepared when it comes to retirement, estate planning and understanding the legal and financial preparation needed to care for parents, grandparents and ultimately, for our own long term care. It is a comprehensive program that also focuses on elder abuse awareness, financial peace, supporting the caregiver and volunteering at senior care facilities.


Get Engaged provides Zeta chapters with a strategic framework to foster citizen engagement and strengthen relationships among the community, elected officials, law enforcement and educators. The initiative will be implemented in collaboration with the NAACP as a series of quarterly Z-HOPE programs focused on justice, media diversity, public policy and civic engagement.

Stork’s Nest is a 40-year-old partnership between Zeta Phi Beta and March of Dimes. Stork’s Nest is a community-based, prenatal, health promotion program for low-income pregnant women. The program is designed to promote prenatal care participation and healthy behaviors during pregnancy through two components-incentives and education. Stork’s Nest clients “earn” points toward incentives, such as maternity or baby care items, through a variety of positive, health-promoting activities; attending prenatal care appointments, participating in prenatal education classes, keeping appointments for well-baby visits,, etc. Thousands of women are serviced at Stork’s Nest all over the country every year.


March of Dimes - Zeta Prematurity Awareness Program (ZPAP) occurs annually during the entire month of November in support of World Prematurity Day on November 17th and the March of Dimes. Since 2003, Zeta chapters and auxiliaries reach out to over 300 houses of worship annually across the country and distribute information on prematurity awareness, causes of prematurity and the importance of seeking prenatal care in an effort to decrease infant mortality and the number of low birth weight babies.


Women Veterans ROCK - In celebration of National Military Appreciation Week, November 10 – 17, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. we honor our Veterans, Active Duty, National Guardsmen, and Reservists who so honorably serve our nation. We also honor their families who have gone through enormous sacrifices in order for these members to serve.

Zetas Have Heart - Past International President Wright thought it was important to develop a program just for you.  We take great care of the community but now it is also time to make our health a priority.  Diet and exercise has been known to reverse the effects of some forms of diabetes, high blood pressure, reduce the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular illnesses, and improve mobility and joint strength.
