POETRY
ZETA
God said...
"I'll make a woman"
A woman of substance,
a woman of pride.
A woman of integrity,
a woman of love.
A woman who is genuine,
a leader in everyway.
God said, "I'll make a woman"
"I'll call her ZETA!"
A STRONG WOMAN
A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercly.
Her tears flow just as abundantly as her laughter.
She is not afraid to be afraid.
A strong woman is both soft and powerful.
She takes compliments to heart and treats
herself like the queen that she is.
A strong woman is equally visionary and decisive.
She is able to hope when things look hopeless.
She is both practical and spiritual. A strong woman
in her essence is a gift to all the world.
That's truly a lady of Zeta Phi Beta!
ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY
Founded by the five pearls at Howard University;
Finer Womanhood, Scholarship, Service, and Sisterly Love.
Principles sent from Heaven above.
Like the dove flying through the sky;
We look upon it with a watchful eye.
Admiring what it means and what it stands for,
Sorors we are eager to learn even more.
Royal Blue and White we will gladly wear,
As we enter communities and show people that we care;
Let us all join together and be a friend to man,
By opening up our minds hearts and hands.
Anyone can be a lady, gender will grant you that;
But it takes and extraordinary lady, to be a woman of
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.
LADIES OF Z PHI B
A dove dares to be different,
Spreads her wings and flies alone,
No need to follow the crowd,
She makes decisions on her own.
Extending peace and harmony,
Where ever she may go,
Setting a positive example,
For others to follow.
Although her beauty is striking,
Her mind will capture you even more,
A woman who knows that knowledge,
Is the key to unlocking life's doors.
Certainly she is proud,
Yet, never vain or conceited,
In no way does she make a scene,
For she knows arrogance is not needed.
Indeed she is content within,
And does not thrive off of attention,
She knows exactly who she is,
Without any apprehension.
She walks with her head up high,
And each step is ordered with precision,
Self assured and confident,
With her most important decision.
While others continue to be the same,
She need not comply,
An Unadulterated dove of ZPHIB,
Unique and Incomparable until the day she dies!
FINER WOMANHOOD
Finer Womanhood
Strong, not masculine
Feminine, not sedity
Aggressive, not abrasive
Beautiful, not vain
Outspoken, but refined
Outgoing, but sophisticated
Loved and envied
Respected and Admired
