Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated Mu Chi Zeta Chapter
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2023 TIME: 6:00 P.M. PAUL B JOHNSONS COMMONS BALLROOM 218 DORMITORY ROW UNIVERSITY, MS 38677
Zeta Phi Beta was founded on January 16, 1920 by five coeds who envisioned a sorority that would directly affect positive change, raise people’s consciousness, encourage the highest standards of scholastic achievement, and foster a greater sense of unity. Trailblazers Arizona Cleaver Stemmons, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, and Fannie Pettie Watts, birth an organization with the desire to provide true Service, embrace Scholarship, set a standard for Sisterhood, and define the noble concept of Finer Womanhood. For 103 years, we have upheld our Founders’ vision, setting ourselves apart as an organization. Never tiring in our efforts, Zeta is a community-conscious, action-oriented organization dedicated to transforming the lives of others.
Our Executive Board Dr. Stacie NC Grant International President Kenya L. Washington South Central Regional Director Dr. Portia E. Ellis Mississippi State Director Denise Fondren, Esq. Chapter President
Greetings from the Chapter President I am excited that you have joined us for our 2023 Debutante Cotillion! As we embark upon the journey of presenting our 2023 Debutante Court, it is important to recognize the purpose of this event and the hard work of each young lady and members of our organization,
As many of you know, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded upon the principles of Service, Scholarship, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood. The purpose of tonight’s program is to promote these ideals. We, the members of the Mu Chi Zeta Chapter, would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for the interest you have shown in helping to make our program a success. I would like to thank each participant and their parents and/or families for entrusting the Mu Chi Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. with your beautiful ladies for the past three months. We consider it a privilege to pour into these young ladies. It is our hope that we have provided the young ladies and their escorts with some valuable information that will aid them as they transition into young adulthood. To the Debutantes and Parents, thank you for your hard work and dedication to the program, the scheduled workshops and education sessions, the practices, the ad sales, and all of the other requirements of the Debutante program. We truly appreciate all of your assistance throughout this season. To the families, friends, churches, and local businesses, thank you for your support and donations. Your generosity continues to make this program a great success and continue to help provide scholarships to local youth. M. Denise Fondren, Esq.
