A message from the Chapter President

On behalf of the members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated Eta Pi Zeta Chapter, it is my distinct honor to introduce you to our award-winning, community-conscious, and action-oriented sisterhood.

Chartered in 1973, Eta Pi Zeta Chapter proudly serves Montgomery County, Maryland, as a distinguished member of the Atlantic Region of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. For more than five decades, our chapter has remained steadfast in its commitment to advancing the principles of scholarship, service, sisterhood, and finer womanhood through purposeful programming, meaningful partnerships, and dedicated community engagement.

Through strategic collaborations with local organizations and signature initiatives under Z-HOPE™—Zetas Helping Other People Excel—we work diligently to address the evolving needs of the community we serve. Our programs include our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Global Day of Service, Stork’s Nest for expectant mothers, Adopt-A-School partnerships, young adult-based voter registration drives, and civics fairs designed to educate, empower, and inspire young emerging leaders to become informed, engaged, and responsible participants in their communities.
