Feeling the need of social and literary communication with each other, the Zeta's of Fort Worth decided to meet together and formulate plans by which they could reach college women in our city who are sorority minded and who desire to affiliate with a group who had for its objective the ideal of Finer Womanhood. On December 11, 1937, the triumphant Soror Luellelia Walker Harrison granted the charter - the name being Psi Zeta.

Our charter members are:
Juanita Bates*
Fleacie Collins Stevens*
Ruby Cass*
Irene Collins Kirk*
Ruby Crawford*
Vada P. Felder*
Gladys Wright*
Nora Lee Thurman*
Mary Collins McMillan*
