Youth Auxiliaries

Archonettes

High school-aged young ladies who demonstrate an interest in the goals and the ideals of scholarship, sisterly love, and community service. The purpose of the Archonettes is to support the cultural, social, leadership and educational growth of a talented group   of 14 to 18-year old young ladies through hands-on participation in self-improvement activities and community service projects.

Amicettes

Girls 9 to 13 years of age who are willing to strive toward the high ideals of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and who demonstrate potential for leadership in service to the community. The Amicettes emphasize service; social gatherings and just plain fun.  These girls usually become Archonettes when they finish middle school.

Pearlettes

Girls 4 to 8 years of age who are mentored by ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. to become outstanding leaders in their community. The purpose of the Pearlettes group is to help young ladies grow culturally, socially and educationally.

Amicae

As early as 1940, graduate chapters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. had begun to realize the importance of the prestige, good will and cooperation of women who were not eligible to be members of any Greek-letter organization. In 1948 a group of three women organized to assist Zeta Phi Beta Sorority members in whatever capacity they were needed.  They chose the Latin name Amicae (Friends) for their auxiliary. The first chartered group was given to Lambda Zeta Chapter of Houston, Texas. The first undergraduate chapter to present an auxiliary was Kappa Alpha of Miners Teachers. Today, these auxiliaries have rendered invaluable services to the sorority and their communities. They are located in areas wherever there are active chapters of Zeta Phi Bea Sorority, Inc.

Each local Amicae Auxiliary is a member of a state-wide Zeta Amicae Conference in which rules, regulations, policies and procedures apply to the state as a group.  This structure is also applicable to Regional and National levels within the organization.  These larger bodies provide an excellent forum for networking with Amicae from other auxiliaries, a chance to garner successful programming ideas, and stay current with your knowledge of information and activities on a broader scale.

Eta Pi Zeta Chapter has an Amicae Auxiliary who provide programming in Montgomery County, MD. Contact us for more information
