As a result of fervent endeavors of seven graduate members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated birthed the start of Theta Epsilon Zeta Chapter. Upon returning home to The Bahamas they saw the need to continue to uphold the principles laid by our Founders’ in 1920. These phenomenal ladies made history as charter members with the sole purpose of impacting and improving the communities in which they live. Theta Epsilon Zeta chapter was chartered on Friday January 23rd, 1976 in Regency Park at the home of Neville Nixon.
Fifty sorority members from across the continental USA came to witness this momentous and historical ceremony. Regional Director Eunice Thomas officiated the ceremony.
