Georgia's Rich Zeta History

The State of Georgia holds a unique place in Zetadom because one of the founders was from Georgia. Founder Fannie Pettie Watts was born in Perry, Georgia, educated in the Savannah, Georgia public schools and attended Georgia State College.

One of Zeta's principal activities, "Finer Womanhood Week", was introduced in 1923 at the fourth conclave in Atlanta, Georgia by an Atlanta soror, Soror Eugenia Chiles. This activity has become a trademark and major focus of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

Stork's Nest was created in 1972 by Soror Evelyn Brown of Epsilon Zeta Chapter, Atlanta, GA.
