The first chapter chartered in Colorado in 1960 was the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Zeta Zeta Zeta Chapter. The inception was a result of a backyard conversation near a clothesline between two sorors, Edythe Bryant and Celestine James. During their conversation they discovered they were both members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. In 1959, Edyth Bryant was interested in chartering a local chapter of Zeta Phi Beta after consulting with then Midwestern Regional Director, Jewell Livingston. In addition to the five Zetas, three additional ladies (Jeanette Goens-McCrary, Rebecca Miller and Ruth Walton-Slater) expressed interest in becoming Zetas. The chartering ceremony was held the weekend of July 1, 1960, with the three new initiates and existing Zetas: Edythe Bryant, Celestine James, Mary Black, Arvella Reynolds and Mildred Stevenson. With the chapter in place, the members began their journey to promote the principals on which Zeta Phi Beta was founded. Zeta Zeta Zeta began impacting the community by supporting the March of Dimes National Foundation, which eventually led to the establishment of the Stork's Nest.
The Zeta Zeta Zeta presidents during the sixties were the following capable ladies: C. James, M. Black, R. Walton Slater, J. Goens-McCrary and R. Miller. The Zeta Zeta Zeta presidents of the millennium were the following capable ladies Zeta moved into the millennium under the leadership of: L. Anderson, J. Spillman, L. Givens, M. Neal, Dr. S. Stansberry and C. Banks, J. John, J. Coker and M. Brown.
Growth continued with four undergraduate chapters being established under the Zeta Zeta Zeta Chapter. Theta Iota chartered January, 1979 on the campus of University of Northern Colorado, Greely, Colorado, Tau Kappa chartered in October, 1980 on the campus of the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, Omicron chapter chartered in September, 1993 on the campus of Colorado State University, Colorado, and Delta Tau Denver Citywide Chapter chartered in 2008 and encompass collegiate students from all accredited four-year universities in the area.
In November 1988 the second graduate chapter, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Xi Kappa Zeta Chapter was chartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado to bring programs and activities of Zeta to the Southern portion of Colorado and later implemented to the Southeast Aurora and Centennial communities. The Xi Kappa Zeta presidents of the new millennium were under the leadership of P. Hines, B. Collins, Z Grant-Lewis and C. Bell.
Since its beginning the chapter has entertained seven Midwestern Regional Conferences in the state of Colorado.
