Tatyana Ali Inducted as Honorary Member of Zeta Phi Beta

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, proudly announced this afternoon the induction of 15 distinguished women as Honorary Members into its Alpha Omega Chapter at the Grand Boule in Indianapolis.

Among the inductees is Tatyana Ali, the actress, singer, and activist renowned for her iconic role as Ashley Banks on the beloved sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Ali has consistently inspired audiences both on and off the screen through her dedicated community service efforts. She has been a passionate advocate for education and youth empowerment, working with organizations such as the Millennium Momentum Foundation and the Step Up Women’s Network.

As a newly inducted member of Zeta Phi Beta, Ali will collaborate with the sorority’s women’s entrepreneurship initiative, Women Who Win, and will also provide support and mentorship to the Zeta Youth Affiliates.

Gina Merritt-Epps, Esq., International First Vice President for Membership, expressed her enthusiasm for the new members: “I am honored to oversee all of Zeta Phi Beta’s membership categories and am thrilled that Zeta Phi Beta continues to attract fascinating, fierce, and finer women to carry out the vision of Zeta Phi Beta’s Founders. The newest class of Honorary Members will advance Zeta Phi Beta’s goals as Zeta Phi Beta women everywhere work together to support our communities.”

The induction ceremony, held at the sorority’s international conference, officially welcomed these women into Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. Dr. Stacie NC Grant, International President and CEO, highlighted the alignment of the new members’ work with the sorority’s mission: “The work of our 2024 Honorary Member Class is aligned with Zeta Phi Beta’s commitment to helping other people excel through mind, body, and spirit. As the number one women’s service organization established by five extraordinary Black women, we are proud to extend membership to this group of women, and I welcome them to the sisterhood on behalf of all Zeta Phi Beta members.”
