Finer Woman/Amica of the Year
 

Over 105 years ago, five trailblazing co-eds had a vision for a community-focused, action-oriented organization founded on Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood principles.

It is symbolic that we take time every year to recommit ourselves and affirm our promise to uphold the principles of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

We ask that you consider a woman who embodies one or ALL of these qualities and nominate her as your chapter’s or club’s Finer Woman/Amica of the Year. She will be honored at our Finer Womanhood Inspirational breakfast at the Maryland State Leadership Conference on Sunday, March 16, 2025.

**The official letter will be available soon**

For additional information, contact Soror/Friend Miriam Williams at FinerWomanhood@zphibmaryland.org.
