As early as 1940, graduate chapters of Zeta Phi Beta began to realize the importance of the prestige, good will and cooperation of
women who, for various reasons, were not members of any Greek-letter organization. Under the administration of Mrs. Lullelia Walker Harrison, 12th International President, the first Amicae chapter was organized in Omaha, Nebraska in 1947 making Zeta the first sorority in the National Pan-Hellenic Council to organize an auxiliary group.

​

Amicae are women who believe in and support the ideals of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., but have not attended college. The Zeta Amicae group was established as an official auxiliary of Zeta Phi Beta during the 1948 National Convention (Grand Boule). Lambda Zeta Chapter established the Zeta Amicae of Houston that same year, and has served as a co-sponsor of the group for more than 70 years. 

​

Zeta Amicae of Houston are always interested in welcoming women into their fold who support the ideals and goals of Zeta Phi Beta. 
Friends and relatives of Zeta Phi Beta members, who have not completed a college degree are especially encouraged to apply for 
membership.
