The Gamma Chi Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was chartered at the University of Georgia on February 11, 2024. The chapter was founded by 11 women a week before their official new member presentation on February 17, 2024, at the Tate Student Center. The sorority is a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, which includes nine organizations.
The sorority's return to campus represents a fresh start and a chance to make a significant impact on the University of Georgia, said President Ezra Lewis. The Gamma Chi chapter's charter members are eager to contribute to the Zetas' long history.
The Gamma Chi Chapter has been active in community service despite being on campus for only a few months. They have participated in the UGA Dawg Day of Service, Black History Month Programs, leadership training, and Athens street cleanups. They also performed at the NPHC Night basketball game.
The Gamma Chi Chapter plans to address Black and minority issues at the University of Georgia, incorporating advocacy into their vision of being a community-conscious, action-oriented service organization. President Lewis also highlighted their commitment to providing support and safe spaces to all those they can impact.
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was first established at Howard University in Washington, D.C. on January 16, 1920. The organization's principles are Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. More information about the sorority can be found on their official website
