This resolution commemorates the 105th anniversary of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., founded on January 16, 1920, at Howard University. The organization was established by five women dedicated to principles of **true service**, **scholarship**, **sisterly love**, and **finer womanhood**, and was later incorporated in 1923 to ensure its permanence. Since its inception, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., has grown significantly, now boasting over 100,000 members across hundreds of chapters globally, spanning the United States, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean. The sorority is recognized for its innovative "firsts" within the National Pan-Hellenic Council, including centralizing operations, chartering a chapter in Africa, and forming auxiliary groups. It has consistently expanded its reach to both predominantly white institutions and historically Black colleges and universities, maintaining a vision focused on **community awareness**, **scholastic achievement**, and **member unity**. The resolution highlights the remarkable legacy of its members, who have made significant contributions in various fields, and concludes with the House of Representatives congratulating the sorority for its enduring impact.
