Greetings!
It is with my great pleasure and honor that I announce the official opening of our Centennial registration! With less than one year away, I cannot wait to celebrate this historic occasion with each of you in Washington, D.C., to include various locations across the country and around the world.
On January 16, 1920, five beautiful and sophisticated collegiate women on the campus of Howard University, in Washington, D.C. established an unbreakable bond and garnered support for what seemed impossible in order to make our beloved and adored sorority a reality. Like all of you, I am forever grateful to our courageous Founders for what they envisioned and sacrificed at such a young age so that we may be a part of a magnificent and colorful kaleidoscope of community-oriented organizations. Sorors, we are The Finest Sorority.
I encourage each of you to carefully review the registration options and take advantage of the earliest options made available, if possible. I, along with the Centennial planning committee, would like for each of you to have lasting memories and first-hand experiences for what will be an epic celebration. I am looking forward to seeing each of you in January and/or June of 2020 while ushering Zeta’s first 100 years of community-conscious and action-oriented service to the world with finesse. Sorors, we are The Finest of Finer Womanhood.
As we forge ahead with full steam on the Zeta Train, let’s intensify our efforts by representing Zeta wherever you go. I encourage you to participate in your chapter’s service projects, programs, and other initiatives within your respective communities by sharing your time, talents, and/or resources. Furthermore, I urge you to connect with your state and regional leadership by attending networking and training opportunities that are offered to remain in the know of how Zeta needs You to strategically accomplish her goals. Lastly, but certainly not least, I encourage each of you to support our national programmatic thrust by becoming One Zeta as we boost our brand, enhance our marketability, and revolutionize Zeta. Sorors, we are One Zeta!
Sisterly in Service,
Valerie Hollingsworth-Baker25th International President

Greetings Sorors, Amicae, Sigma Brothers and Guests:
On behalf of the Centennial Commission of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, it is with esteemed honor and pride that I formally invite you to the Centennial Celebration!
As we commemorate 100 years of World Class Service, Scholarship, Sisterhood and Finer Womanhood, these principles lead us home to Washington, DC, our birthplace. Honoring our Founders has been our guiding objective since the 2015 launch of our “Journey to Centennial” and we hope that you will plan to be present for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Empowering the voices of women in 2020 and beyond is the charge Zeta is preparing to command during 2020 as the leading women of influence on issues that impact our communities. Thus, the Commission is grateful for the support of our 2020 Visionary Donors, partners and sponsors who have joined in the vision to convene this EPIC event. To the Chapter, State and Regional Representatives (CSRs) and Sisterhood Circles who have energized the spirit and resolve of our members to ban together, please continue to lead the charge to gather 10,000 members of the Blue and White Family to attend the Centennial.
A special note of thanks and appreciation to all members of the Centennial Commission, Sorors and others who have worked tirelessly to effectuate the execution of our Centennial. The support rendered has insured a phenomenal lineup of events, commemorative lasting footprints and opportunities to create memories that will be unprecedented and only realized by sharing in the experience.
As we come together to remember our past accomplishments while positioning our future contributions, the Centennial Commission extends a heart-felt invitation to join the Sisterhood as we celebrate our 100th Anniversary. We look forward to welcoming you home in 2020!
With gratitude and sisterly love,

Greetings Sorors, Amicae, and Guests,
I am deeply honored to be your Centennial Vice Chair and to be a part of the team planning a momentous Centennial that celebrates our rich past. As I reflect, I can’t help but think about what empowered women our Founders were. They set out to create a sorority for outstanding young women who were willing to take a stand and make a unique difference in the lives of others.
We have so much to be proud of, from the why and how of our founding, to the legacy of the five brave women who brought our sisterhood into being. This Centennial offers the occasion to celebrate a century of success, and to rededicate ourselves to the mission set forth by our Founders.
We have a whirlwind of celebratory events planned for you to recognize this important anniversary. We will honor our illustrious past, celebrate our present, and look toward the future. I hope that every living and capable Zeta around the globe will take time to experience our sisterhood to the fullest during the Centennial.
I am looking forward to 2020 with great anticipation, enthusiasm, and excitement. It is my hope that our time together during the Centennial celebration will form precious lifetime memories.
Sisterly Always,
Kim D. SawyerKim D. SawyerCentennial Vice Chair
