Chi Lambda Zeta Chapter -- "Who We Are" 

Located in Bartlett, TN in Shelby County, TN, we are a group of ladies empowered with the determination to do all we can to make a valuable contribution to the community while upholding the principles of Zeta.  Allow us to introduce ourselves through the voices of some of our members. 

Chi Lambda Zeta to me is...

  • "A Chapter on the Move."
  • "Striving to be a long standing footprint in the community."
  • "A definition of who we are as a Zeta who upholds the five principles."
  • "A reflection of friendliness."
  • "Sowing into our youth the true meaning of 'sisterhood'."
  • "A servant."
  • "An upholder of the legacy of our five founders."
  • "Godly Love."
  • "A captive Love"
  • "Agape in action."
  • "A passionate and committed chapter."
  • "A chapter serving unselfishly."
  • "Positive representation of the Zeta Brand."
 
Through the ladies' voices, you are given a more personal view as to "who we are" for they are the ones in action from the various committees upon which they serve, to their representation as Finer Women as they go through their daily lives.

Authentic Women of Purpose

"There arises in each of us a call--a call to purposeful service.  We answer it by stepping outside our comfort zone--to take flight on the wings of a dove and soar. We remove the reflection of ourselves.  We serve unselfishly and compassionately.  Fulfllment arises in each of us when the illumination of our light shines in those we serve--to whom we freely give.  And for this, we are...
The Finer Women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc."
