Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was founded in 1920 on the belief that the social nature of sorority life should not overshadow the real mission for progressive organizations to address societal mores, ills, prejudices, poverty, and health concerns of the day. The international organization’s 125,000+ initiated members, operating in more than 850 chapters, have given millions of voluntary hours to educate the public, provide scholarships, support organized charities, and promote legislation for social and civic change.

In This Together Media, Inc.
We believe Every Story Counts. Kids’ interest in reading skyrockets when they can see themselves in a story. There’s an opportunity for more fiction to reflect the lives of real girls — smart, interesting, multidimensional girls of all different backgrounds. We want to feed the minds of those readers who hunger for more than the extremes; our protagonists aren’t superchicks, nor are they just waiting around to be kissed. Offer any young person a diverse array of rich characters, and you open up possibilities in that reader’s world. Learn more about In This Together Media here.
