In the 1970's there were few African-American students on the MTSU campus. There were even fewer students who were members of historically black greek letter organizations. There were already a couple of sororities on the MTSU campus, but there was still something missing. MTSU was a great school, but it wasn't wonderful. It wasn't yet Marvelous.

On September 17, 1977, there was the realization of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University.  It was on this day that some Marvelous finally happened at MTSU. The four women (known as the Sweet Inspirations) who founded this chapter brought with them determination and force. 

The Mu Theta Chapter is dedicated and committed to upholding all the principles and standards set forth by our founders, this organization, and Sweet Inspirations (the Charter Line).
