When Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, and Fannie Pettie Watts—revered as the Five Pearls—established Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated at Howard University on January 16, 1920, they built a sisterhood anchored in Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. Constitutionally bound to Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, the sorority’s royal blue and pure white palette and white dove of peace remain unmistakable across college yards and alumni chapters. The Polo Ralph Lauren Zeta Phi Beta Mascot Ugly Sweater brings those 1920 symbols together on a classic royal blue crewneck pullover built for January Founders’ Day events, autumn homecomings, and winter chapter gatherings.
Unlike crossover V-neck styles, this pullover is cut with a rounded royal blue ribbed crewneck collar encircled by a single crisp white horizontal stripe, matched with solid royal blue ribbed sleeve cuffs and a structured ribbed waistband. Across the upper chest, bold white block Greek letters ΖΦΒ arch above the center graphic with a small white polo rider silhouette positioned to the right of the B. Between split white double-outlined varsity numerals—19 on the left and 20 on the right—stands a curly-furred golden-brown teddy bear with its hands tucked into its pockets. The mascot wears a white collared shirt with pushed-up sleeves, a wristwatch on the left wrist, a royal blue V-neck sweater vest trimmed in white stripes and marked with ΖΦΒ, royal blue cargo joggers detailed with a right-leg flap pocket and a white flying dove silhouette on the left leg, and blue-and-white striped low-top sneakers above stacked white ZETA PHI BETA, POLO BEAR by RALPH LAUREN, and cursive Ralph Lauren script.

Four-Way Stretch Knit Comfort and Dye-Sublimated Clarity
Knitted from a smooth 95% polyester and 5% spandex blend, the sweater provides mid-weight autumn and winter warmth alongside gentle four-way stretch that layers cleanly over a collared blouse, oxford shirt, or basic tee. Because the deep royal blue ground, pure white Greek typography, and shaded plush bear illustration are infused directly into the yarn fibers through all-over dye-sublimation printing, the chest remains soft, breathable, and flexible without heavy plastisol transfers that crack or peel. Available in unisex sizes XS through 5XL, the pullover maintains its collar recovery and color saturation through cold-water machine washes and low-heat drying.
