Description

A Zeta Phi Beta Sorority felt pennant. This triangular shaped pennant is a faded royal blue on the front. It has a white stripe along the one short straight edge, and white lettering that reads "ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY Inc. / 45th Boule/ July 11-16, 1965/ the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City." To the left of the letters is the sorority crest. This depicts a shield shape with fourteen rays emanating from the top. The shield itself is divided into three fields. The two outermost fields show lit torches, while the middle field shows the three Greek letters of the sorority, under three stars, and over an open book with the date 1920. There are two blue felt strings attached to the white strip along the short side of the pennant.
