Amicae are women who do not have a college degree, but have an interest in assisting members of ZPB with their community service endeavors.
As early as 1940, graduate chapters of Zeta Phi Beta began to realize the importance of the prestige, good will and cooperation of women who, for various reasons, were not members of any Greek-letter organization. Under the administration of Soror Lullelia Harrison, the first Amicae chapter was organized in Omaha, Nebraska in 1947 making Zeta the first sorority in the National Pan-Hellenic Council to organize an auxiliary group.
Zeta Amicae are women who do not have a college degree, but have an interest in assisting local auxiliaries with activities. Currently there are over 175 Zeta Amicae groups affiliated through various local Zeta chapters throughout the United States.
