Events and Activities Kicking Off 2026 With Purpose and Power Zeta Tau Zeta Chapter began 2026 with intention, impact, and excellence—living out our commitment to Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood through meaningful engagement in our community and within our sisterhood. Throughout the year, the chapter proudly hosted, attended, and participated in a variety of dynamic and impactful events, including the Annual Joint Founders Day Worship Service, Founders Day Celebration, and the ZTZ Founders Day and Five Pearl Honorees Program, honoring our legacy while uplifting the women who exemplify our principles. These moments strengthened our bond of sisterhood and reaffirmed our shared commitment to the ideals upon which our organization was founded. Our dedication to service was demonstrated through hands-on initiatives such as the Youth Service Project and the Dating Safely workshop, where we provided education, mentorship, and resources designed to empower and protect our youth and young adults. These efforts reflect our ongoing responsibility to uplift and serve our community with compassion and purpose. Zeta Tau Zeta also amplified its focus on scholarship and economic empowerment through programs like Power of SHE: Economic Justice in Action, creating space for meaningful dialogue, advocacy, and action around financial literacy, equity, and access. These initiatives align with our mission to cultivate informed, confident women prepared to lead and create change. As showcased in the accompanying video, each event represents more than a moment—it reflects who we are as Finer Women committed to excellence, growth, and collective impact. Zeta Tau Zeta Chapter remains steadfast in advancing our mission and continuing to make a difference—together.
