On the observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated celebrated its Founders’ Day by completing hundreds of community service projects to include a Day of Service at the Perot Museum for the MLK holiday and February’s Discovery Days: Gadgets & Gizmos.
The historically black sorority that is part of the “Divine 9” declared 2017 the Global Year of Service. The new year also began their official count toward completing 20 million service hours between now and Founders’ Day 2020. For February’s Discovery Days, the women’s service organization showcased their mission of “Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood” in leading the day full of inventive activities that introduced guests to new concepts about engineering like “What Can You Build?” with a variety of different materials, and taught them the value of creative problem-solving with “Little Bits,” using electronic building blocks.
