The Amicae (Friends of Zeta) Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc was the first sorority to charter auxiliary groups.  The first group was The Amicae which means friends of Zeta.  The Amicae are a group of upstanding, community focused women who do not have college degrees but wish to affiliate with a sorority.  The first Amicae group was chartered in 1947.  The Orlando chapter was chartered in 1974 and continues to do great works in the community.  Annually they sponsor Teen Choices a six week program that engage, inform and encourage today’s youth to reach higher and do better.  There are workshops, forums and field trips and it culminates with a beautiful award ceremony.  We are proud of our Friends! For more information please email the coordinator at TheAmicae@orlandozetas.org.

Zeta was also the first sorority to have a defined youth program.  The program is broken down into three age groups.

	Pearlettes are girls under 9 years old who are mentored by ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.  They are mentored on building self esteem, etiquette, reading and various other activities.
	Amicettes are girls 9 to 13 years of age who are willing to strive toward the high ideals of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and who demonstrate potential for leadership in service to the community. Amicette groups are affiliated through local chapters.
	Archonettes are high school-aged young ladies who demonstrate an interest in the goals and the ideals of scholarship, sisterly love, and community service. Archonette groups are affiliated through local chapters.
