Debutante Scholarship Program and Cotillion
|
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority has a history of working with young ladies through the Blue Revue program that was originated in 1933. The program’s goal is to promote higher education and scholarship and to encourage and inspire young ladies to uphold and practice the ideals of finer womanhood, as well as cultivate and practice acceptable social behavior. The idea was adopted as a national program and implemented by chapters of the sorority across the country. The Debutante Scholarship Program and Cotillion is a revised extension of that pageant.

Since 1972, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. has enjoyed a partnership with the March of Dimes in an effort to encourage women to seek prenatal care within the first trimester of pregnancy, thereby increasing the prevention of birth defects and infant mortality. Nationwide, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. sponsors over 175 Stork's Nests serving about 28,000 women yearly.
The Stork's Nest Program is designed to promote prenatal care participation and healthy behaviors during the pregnancy through two components - incentives and education. Stork's Nest clients earn points toward incentives such as maternity or baby care items, through a variety of positive, health-promoting activities such as attending prenatal care appointments, participating in prenatal education classes and keeping appointments for well-baby visits. The Stork's Nest prenatal education sessions provide information, educational materials and a variety of other resources and referrals that help clients take good care of themselves and their babies. |
