Z‑HOPE (Zetas Helping Other People Excel)

Launched in 2008, Z‑HOPE is our flagship international outreach initiative designed to promote health, education, economic empowerment, youth development, and elder care. Phi Mu Zeta's annual ZHOPE Initiatives are:

• Bundle UP IE

• Finer Footsteps to Fitness

• ZRAY - Zetas Recognizing All Youth

• Finer Womanhood - Celebrating Heroes in the Community

Zeta Prematurity Awareness Program (ZPAP)

Every November, in alignment with World Prematurity Day (November 17), Zeta chapters lead Prematurity Awareness campaigns at houses of worship and across communities to raise awareness about maternal health, early prenatal care, and reducing infant mortality and low birthweight rates.

Elder Care & World Elder Abuse Awareness

Our Elder Care Initiative addresses aging-related challenges such as elder abuse awareness, financial and legal planning, and caregiving support. Chapters partner with local care facilities to provide resources and volunteer services.  Additionally, on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, Zetas distribute informational resources to raise awareness and support elder rights.

International Women of Color

Part of the Z‑HOPE initiative, this global outreach supports communities through programs like literacy promotion, building water wells in Ghana (over 50 constructed), well maintenance, and constructing a health clinic at Afua Kobi Apem Senior School—boosting enrollment from 1,200 to 2,000 and improving overall community health.
