History

In 1955, Hattye Tillett suggested to the Amicae Club of Washington, D.C., that daughters and granddaughters of the Amicae be organized into a social and civic group.  Esther C. Peyton of Beta Zeta Chapter of Washington, D.C. sponsored this project and the D.C. Amicettes were the only group for a number of years.  They were an excited group of adolescents comprised of daughters and granddaughters of Zeta Amicae, Phi Beta Sigma brothers and Zeta Phi Beta members and other junior high school students who were invited to join.

 

At the 50th Anniversary Boule’ in 1970, the Amicettes were added to the Zeta structure as the junior-high auxiliary. Amicettes are girls ages 9-13.

 

Rho Chi Zeta Chapter’s Amicette Club was established on Saturday, December 5, 2005 at Swarthmore Borough Hall with two young ladies, Autumn Beulah and Kierra Mitchell.  The Amicette Club members are girls between the ages of 9 and 13. Membership in the Amicette Club allows girls to participate in many interesting projects and activities, including etiquette sessions, field trips, talents shows and more! The members of the Amicette Club have the desire to exemplify the ideals of community service, friendship and elegance. These talented young ladies stand out as leaders amongst their peers and excel academically, socially and are in tune with the needs of their community.
