Founded on January 16, 1920, at Howard University in Washington, D.C., by the Five Pearls—Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, and Fannie Pettie Watts—Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. has spent more than a century advancing Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. The Polo Ralph Lauren Zeta Phi Beta White Christmas Ugly Sweater honors that Royal Blue and Pure White heritage on a snow-white long-sleeve crewneck pullover tailored for January 16 Founders’ Day celebrations, December holiday gatherings, and alumnae chapter events.
Royal Blue 1920 Typography and Finer Womanhood Bear Regalia
Framed at the top by a white ribbed round neckline with two parallel royal-blue varsity stripes and a royal-blue Polo horse-and-rider silhouette on the upper left chest, the front layout highlights the sorority’s founding identity. Arched royal-blue 3D-effect collegiate Greek letters spell out ΖΦΒ across the upper chest above split royal-blue block numerals—19 on the left torso and 20 on the right torso—commemorating the 1920 chartering at Howard University.
Five Pearls Jewelry, White Dove Blazer, and Sublimated Comfort
Royal-blue collar stripes, arched ΖΦΒ lettering, and the beret-wearing Zeta Teddy Bear stand out cleanly against the pure white crewneck silhouette.
Positioned between the 1920 numerals, the honey-tan Zeta Teddy Bear mascot captures the sorority’s Finer Womanhood aesthetic. The bear wears a tilted royal-blue beret printed with white ΖΦΒ letters, lustrous white pearl stud earrings, and a white pearl strand necklace honoring the Five Pearls. Her tailored royal-blue blazer features white piping, pearl-accented cuffs, a white dove of peace emblem on the right chest, and white ΖΦΒ letters on the left chest over a white collared blouse, paired with a blue-trimmed white pleated skirt, royal-blue-and-white striped crew socks, and royal-blue lace-up oxford shoes above bold royal-blue ZETA PHI BETA capitals, POLO BEAR by RALPH LAUREN text, and a cursive Ralph Lauren signature script.
Constructed from a 95% polyester and 5% spandex blend that offers light stretch and adaptive body temperature response through autumn and winter wear, this standard unisex crewneck pullover layers smoothly over a blouse or turtleneck from XS through 5XL. Because the graphic is infused directly into the fibers via all-over dye-sublimation printing, the pure white ground and royal-blue detailing remain fade-proof and peel-resistant after cold machine washes. Sorors and gift shoppers building a coordinated Royal Blue and White winter wardrobe can also pair this pullover with the Zeta Phi Beta Mascot Sweater for chapter holidays and family exchanges.

What Zeta Phi Beta symbols and outfit details are featured on the Teddy Bear mascot?
The central Teddy Bear mascot wears a tilted royal-blue beret with white ΖΦΒ Greek letters, white pearl stud earrings, and a white pearl necklace honoring the Five Pearls.

💡
When was Zeta Phi Beta Sorority founded and what do the pearls and white dove represent?
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded on January 16, 1920, at Howard University by five collegiate women known as the Five Pearls: Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, and Fannie Pettie Watts. The pearls honor the five founders and Finer Womanhood, while the white dove is the sorority's official symbol of peace and purity.
💡
Are the royal-blue ΖΦΒ letters and bear graphic embroidered patches or dye-sublimated, and how do I wash the sweater?
All artwork is permanently infused into the 95% polyester and 5% spandex fabric using fade-proof, peel-resistant all-over dye-sublimation printing rather than heavy surface patches. Machine wash cold with similar colors, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and do not iron directly on the print.
