Our Mission
We, the members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated, Rho Omega Zeta Chapter, are a group of college educated women who are organized to promote our sorority's ideals of Sisterly Love, Scholarship, Service, and Finer Womanhood.
Rho Omega Zeta is a Pan-African Chapter that serves as a vehicle to encourage the highest standards of such ideals. The Chapter was chartered on July 2, 2000 and covers the North Shore region of Long Island: Manhasset, Great Neck, New Hyde Park, North Hills, Port Washington, and East Williston. We accept individuals who are committed to the progress and development of people of African descent and the worldwide community. This is achieved through cultural, educational, literary, and scientific programming on a charitable local, national and international level. Rho Omega Zeta serves as a vehicle to encourage the highest standards of such ideals. In Spring 2010, Rho Omega Zeta chartered Omicron Tau, a collegiate chapter on the Long Island campus of New York Institute of Technology.
Some of our annual community service projects include The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and The March of Dimes Walk. Four of the six charter members are members of the award winning, nationally renowned, XenZeta Vizion step team. XenZeta Vizion provided historical, cultural, and inspirational, messages to uplift people of African descent through step performance - a unique feature to the dance form unlike other Pan-Hellenic Council teams. The idea of working in a chapter that had a similar theme and thrust to their own step team was inviting and well received. Rho Omega Zeta Chapter was a natural progression for its founders. The charter members held Africa in one hand and the people of the African Diaspora in the other when they chartered the chapter in July 2000.
