Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1920 by five co-ed students at Howard University in Washington, D. C. who envisioned a sorority that would promote the highest standards of scholarship achievement and finer womanhood. The sorority has a diverse membership of more than 120,000 college educated women with chapters in North America, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle East.
Rho Nu Zeta Chapter was chartered in 1999. It is the only Greek-letter organization from the National Pan-Hellenic Council with a chapter in Attala or Choctaw county.
