When and where was Zeta Phi Beta Incorporated?

• A. March 30th, 1923 in Washington, DC
• B. March 21st, 1923 in Washington, DC
• C. March 30th, 1923 in Baltimore, MD
• D. March 30th, 1924 in Washington, DC

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is when the organization became a legally recognized entity. Zeta Phi Beta Incorporated was formed as a formal nonprofit in Washington, DC on March 30, 1923. This incorporation gave the sorority its official legal status beyond its campus origins at Howard University in Washington, DC in 1920. The other options don’t fit because they miss either the correct date or the correct city (Baltimore, MD isn’t where the incorporation was filed, and the year 1924 or the different date listed isn’t the official record).
