WASHINGTON, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., one of the country’s largest women’s service organizations, ended their 2022 Grand Boulè on Sunday, July 24, 2022 after a week of sorority business meetings, service-oriented projects, and celebratory moments.

Valerie Hollingsworth Baker, the sorority’s 25th “Centennial” International President, focused this Grand Boulè on honoring the legacy of the sorority’s founders through the theme, “Honoring Our Founders, Continuing Their Legacy, The Dream Lives On!”

“It was an absolute honor to celebrate our 2022 Grand Boulè in Philadelphia this year,” said Hollingsworth Baker. “Over the week-long period, our sorority brought over 6,000 members to the city, provided over $640,000 in donations, and left behind an economic impact of over $6.5 million. With scholarship being a principle I hold in high regard, I am especially happy that Zeta Phi Beta provided a $125,000 scholarship to a deserving high school student as she embarks on a college education.”
