Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today the 12th Congressional District recognizes and celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Beta Omicron Zeta Chapter, also known as the Detroit Chapter, of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., as a pillar of service, scholarship, and sisterhood in our community. Founded in 1945, under the leadership of Dr. Mary Watson Stewart, this chapter holds the distinction of being Michigan's first graduate chapter of Zeta Phi Beta. For over eight decades, the Beta Omicron Zeta Chapter has established itself as a force for positive change through strong communal partnerships and leading critical initiatives like the Stork's Nest Program to address infant mortality, and the award-winning Zetas Helping Others Excel program.

Their mentorship of young women through STEAM education and their invaluable scholarships have directly impacted countless lives. The chapter's community dedication has garnered accolades from Michigan and Detroit leaders, demonstrating the lasting impact of their mission of uplifting others. I thank the Beta Omicron Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., for their unwavering commitment to Finer Womanhood, Service, and advancing equity in Detroit and beyond.
