Sisterhood, and Ideal of Finer Womanhood. Over the past 14 years, our chapter membership has continued to grow. Our chapter members come from various backgrounds, careers, and ethnicities. Phi Theta Zeta Chapter members have attended various colleges and universities, including CSU Long Beach, Purdue University (IN), CSU Dominguez Hills, University of Phoenix, UNLV, UC Irvine, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Liberty University (PA), American University (Washington, DC) and Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain). Our vast educational backgrounds enriches our chapter culture and promotes a sense of inclusiveness that strengthens our sisterly bonds. Phi Theta Zeta members are leaders, serving on the National, Regional and State levels within our sisterhood. The Gardena Zetas have supported various community organizations, school programs, and causes, including our annual and everlasting partnership with March of Dimes - March for Babies, American Heart Society, and St. Jude's, just to name a few. Phi Theta Zeta sponsors Zeta youth auxiliaries (Pearlettes, Amicettes, and Archonettes), an adult auxiliary (Amicae) and an undergraduate Zeta chapter (Upsilon Kappa at California State University, Fullerton). Our youth auxiliaries are for girls ages 4-18. The Amicae Auxiliary is for women who have not earned a college degree who support and promote the ideals of our organization. The Gardena Zetas embody our principles of Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood and Finer Womanhood. We are committed to positively impacting our communities and always remember that each time we gather for business, service or fun, it is all Zeta Love, EE-I-KEE!
