Welcome
Current Chapter President - Margaret Graham
2023-2025
Greetings
My name is Soror Margaret D Graham, and I am the newly elected President of the local Xi Kappa Zeta Chapter of our illustrious Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.
We are located in Colorado Springs and continue to exemplify the fostering ideals of our triumphant founders: Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, and Fannie Pettie Watts who believed in the shared value and support of Service, Scholarship, Sisterhood and Finer Womanhood. The entire membership of our local Xi Kappa Zeta Chapter are still standing on these valuable principles for now 104 years. We will continue for decades to come.
We hope you enjoy perusing through our website. Don't hesitate to drop us a line if interested in wanting to be and become a part of a growing sisterhood that embodies the strength of our four principles. We look forward to you joining us and coming aboard this local Zeta train. We will not leave anyone behind. We have work to do, and would love to have you join us, and work along with us, as we achieve continued success here in our local Colorado Springs, Colorado community. Thank you for stopping by.
