Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was the first D9 organization to form auxiliary groups.
Amicae - Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, realized the importance and the valuable contributions of women who chose a different educational path than college. Though many women affiliated with Zeta chapters served in organized auxiliaries, their place in the sisterhood was made official when National President Lullelia Harrison included in her report to the 1948 Boule’ a recommendation that chapters be allowed to organize auxiliaries known as Zeta “Amicae” (Friends of Zeta).
The Amicae auxiliary provides an opportunity for professional women to be affiliated with Zeta and assist the sorority with providing positive, proactive, and far-reaching community service, both nationally and internationally. Today, Amicae auxiliaries are in all eight regions of Zeta Phi Beta and have continued to render invaluable community service and thousands of dollars helping Zeta extend their outreach to the communities where they live and serve.
Pearlettes, Amicettes, Archonettes - The first youth clubs were formed in the 1950s for all youth involved with the sorority, as Zetalites, Archonettes, or Amicettes. However, participation in club activities quickly increased to the point that the club was divided into two age groups. The high school girls kept the name of the Archonette Club, which accepts members who are in high school (ages 14-18). The younger girls became the Amicette Club (ages 9-13), and in the 1970’s the Pearlette Club (ages 4-8) was organized.
The Zeta Male Network - The Zeta Male Network is the fifth auxiliary of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. It was established in 1996 during the administration of the 20th International President, Jylla Tearte, PhD. As role models and community leaders, the men who comprise the Zeta Male Network provide much-needed support to Zeta programs and service projects.
