Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded January 16, 1920, at Howard University on the simple belief that sorority elitism and socializing should not overshadow the real mission for progressive organizations - to address societal moral ills, prejudices, poverty, and health concerns of the day. Zeta chapters and auxiliary groups have given millions hours of voluntary service to educate the public, assist youth, provide scholarships, support organized charities and promote legislation for social change

Gamma Nu Chapter was chartered on May 28, 1985, at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville Tennessee. The chapter members provide opportunities for women of color to lend leadership to campus and community issues. Zetas strive to continue the legacy of our founding sisters in these changing times. Moreover, Gamma Nu promotes quality in character and not quantity for membership. We maintain our sorority’s founding principles of Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood and Finer Womanhood. The Gamma Nu Chapter is now mentored and sponsored by the women in the graduate chapter of Rho Mu Zeta of Clarksville, TN.
