Where and when was the first Amicae chapter organized?

• A. 1950 in Chicago, Illinois
• B. 1939 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• C. 1947 in Omaha, Nebraska
• D. 1962 in Houston, Texas

Answer: (C)

The first Amicae chapter was organized in Omaha, Nebraska in 1947. This marks the origin of Zeta Phi Beta’s auxiliary group created to include women who supported the sorority but weren’t part of the regular collegiate membership at that time. The date and place reflect the early expansion of the organization’s support network beyond its collegiate chapters. The other dates and cities don’t align with the historical record of the Amicae’s founding.
