To my sisters,​

​

On this momentous occasion, we come together to celebrate 85 remarkable years of your unwavering commitment to scholarships, service, sisterhood, and finer womanhood in the great state of South Carolina. For more than eight decades, the women of Zeta Phi Beta have been a beacon of excellence, dedication, and empowerment throughout our communities. Your tireless efforts have touched countless lives, uplifting generations through educational opportunities, community service initiatives, and the embodiment of our core principles.

​

The number 85 holds special significance. In numerology, 85 symbolizes wisdom, experience, and the culmination of a journey. It represents the harmonious blend of the pioneering spirit of 8 and the collaborative energy of 5. This perfectly encapsulates our organization's journey – 85 years of boldly leading the way while fostering unity and cooperation.

​

Your legacy of academic achievement has opened doors for so many, while your service projects have strengthened the fabric of our neighborhoods. The bonds of sisterhood you've fostered have created a powerful network of support and inspiration. Through it all, you've exemplified the highest standards of finer womanhood, serving as role models for young women across South Carolina. As we reflect on your 85 years of impact, we are filled with gratitude for your contributions and admiration for your perseverance. Your work has made South Carolina a better place, and your influence continues to shape the future of our state.

​

Congratulations on this incredible milestone. Just as the number 85 suggests the completion of one cycle and the beginning of another, may this anniversary mark both a celebration of your past achievements and the start of an even more impactful future. May the next 85 years bring even greater achievements as you continue to uplift and empower our communities.
