The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, Mu Omega Zeta chapter, Xi Epsilon undergrads chapter, and the Zeta Amicae auxiliary of Natchitoches participated in the national Global Day of Service initiative by donating items to the NSU Food Pantry. The sorority and the Amicae partnered with them as a part of the Mobile Food Pantry Project, which was established to provide nutritional support to individuals and enhance community well-being. The donation is the result of a campaign of the sorority’s Z-HOPE (Zeta’s Helping Other People Excel) outreach service program. The chapter plans to continue to donate to the food pantry periodically throughout the year.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated is an international, historically black Greek-lettered sorority founded on January 16, 1920, on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C, by five women affectionately known as “The Five Pearls”. The five co-eds chose the name Zeta Phi Beta. Phi Beta was taken from Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated to “seal and signify the relationship between the two organizations” thus making our founding principles: Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. Our motto is: A community-conscious, action-oriented organization. Xi Epsilon is the undergraduate counterpart of the sorority.

Zeta Amicae of Natchitoches was originally chartered in 1990, and the members work hand in hand with the sorority by giving back to the community. Zeta Amicae Auxiliary, or “Friends of Zeta,” is comprised of non-degree women who have participated in and contributed to charitable and educational activities.

The Zeta Amicae were the first national auxiliary of collegiate sorority. Zeta is the first sorority in the National Pan-Hellenic Council to organize an auxiliary group. Zeta Amicae are affiliated through local chapters.
