PROGRAMS

The Archonette Club is designed for young ladies between the ages of 14-18.  The Amicettes is designed for young ladies between the ages of 9-13.  Our youth programs helps young ladies grow culturally, socially, and educationally. The objectives of the clubs, are to broaden our youths’ values, confidence, leadership skills, and cultural awareness. We also develop their social consciousness by requiring them to give back to the community with monthly community service projects. With this consistent involvement, we as mentors can make a constructive impact during these youths’ critical stage of personal development. In the long run we believe this program will produce long term positive effects in their lives and the lives of their community.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Youth Affiliate clubs were formed in the 1950’s 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 grades of nine through twelve (9-12). The younger girls became the Amicette Club (ages 9-13) and in the 1990’s the Pearlette Club (ages 4-8) was organized. The purpose of the clubs is to assist in the community, academic, and personal development of young ladies. They are designed to help youth grow culturally, socially, and educationally.
