History of Alpha Alpha Upsilon Zeta

 

The Alpha Alpha Upsilon Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was chartered on May 2, 2015, at the 2015 New York State Leadership Conference in Rochester, New York.  It all started with the vision of the New York State Director, Soror Shanell Robinson. Soror Robinson wanted to ensure that the great works of  Zeta Phi Beta were spread adequately throughout the State of New York.  AAYZ was established to serve the densely populated downtown New York City area, an area that had not been conscioulsly served...until now! 

 

One of the goals of AAYZ is to form partnerships with local corporate entities, not-for-profits organizations, and other members of the National Pan Hellenic Council to serve this area.

 

AAYZ was chartered by 11 dynamic women eager to serve the lower Manhattan community. These women are:

 

Soror Natasha Bobo-Pringle

Soror Natasha Carter

Soror Felecia S. Chatman

Soror Andrene M. Denniston

Soror Ingrid Hilliard, Esq.

Soror Sheridan Jack-Browne, Esq.

Soror Sharnee Lance

Soror Pascale Leone-Jones

Soror Taahira A. Maynard

Soror Clara Ospina

Soror Whitney Wilcher

 

Ninety-five years after Zeta Phi Beta was founded by our beloved Five Pearls, the sorority continues to build on its principles of Scholarship, Service, Finer Womanhood, and Sisterly Love through the works of its undergraduate and graduate chapters. We hope that you will join us on this journey!
