Torchbearers of a Legacy
 

I am currently reading Torchbearers of a Legacy. A powerful and dynamic book.

Most Honourable Soror Tyler-Goings two quotes holds dear to my heart

1) "I could not become a friend's maid in order to pledge. I thought that.... active interest should surpass submissiveness." She had friends in both existing sororities. Most Honourable Soror Tyler-Goings has an excellent point. How do you know if an aspirant is strong if she is always submissive?

2) "[In the ideal college situation], a Zeta is a girl regardless of race, creed or color who has high standards and principles, a good scholary average, and an active interest in all things that she undertakes to accomplish."

I have not finish the entire book, but I must say that we have very powerful sorors who have made it possible for our sorority to grow and remain strong.
Thank you to our Founding sorors, Arizona Cleaver Stemmons, Pearl Anna Neal, Viola Tyler Goings, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, and Fannie Pettie Watts.

Thank you past grand basilei, Soror Ruth Scruggs, Soror Violette Anderson, and Soror Lullelia Harrison, for widing the roads of opportunities for more women to find the Zeta way

To our current grand basileus, Soror Barbara West Carpenter, Thank you for introducing the Seven Point Plan of Action to Zeta Phi Beta.

If you have not read this book,then you must read it.

I agree soror it is a wonderful book> I personally could not put it down I was trying to soak up all of our rich history.


Zeta Phi Beta Iz The Only Way!!!!!

I finished the book this past weekend.

I found it to be very informative.

In the forward Past International Grand Moore used the quote "Life is not a destination. Life is a journey."

This is how I feel about Zeta, we are on a journey. As with any journey, some of us will get lost, some of us will make a wrong turn. Many will take the road less traveled. Most will follow the course set forth by our founders.

I too would like to thank Arizona Cleaver Stemmons, Pearl Anna Neal, Viola Tyler Goings, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, and Fannie Pettie Watts.

And thank you my GC sorors for all the love, pride and hard work that you have put forth for our journey.

ENOUGH for now, I feel that I am rambling.

:D

This sounds like a great book!

Is this something that would be available only to Zeta women, or is this something that I can purchase through a bookstore?

I'm on my 2nd reading of it! So much rich history. I feel so honored and blessed to be a member of this illustrious sisterhood!

I've got the same question. :)

Ditto. :)

Sorry...
 

Torchbearers of a Legacy is for Zeta members only. :(

It would be great if a more general version was published for the general public and fellow greeks...I think this Sorority has done some leading-edge activities over the years that fly way too low under the radar screen. A book similar to Torchbearers would do a lot to illuminate some of them.

Thanks for the interest though! :D

Sorors, I know this post is old but I had to bump it up. Could someone please pm me as to where to find this book?

Zorors, if you could one you please pm me with information regarding on acquiring a copy..I know as a neo it will impact me on my life as a Zeta

Torchbearers
 

is available through International Headquarters. If you didn't receive it when you became a new member, call them. Otherwise, you may try Zeta-only listservs...often times Sorors have an extra copy you can purchase/have.

thanks
