To the Mothers, Aunties, Godmothers, and more of South Carolina,
From Chi Iota in Charleston
To Zeta Lambda Zeta in Laurens and Newberry,
Across every campus, city, shoreline, and small town,
There is a woman carrying generations on her shoulders
While still making room for grace.
Today, we honor the mothers of our sisterhood.
To Chi Iota, Delta Mu, Eta Nu, Kappa Beta, Lambda, Mu, and Mu Rho,
To Phi Pi, Pi Rho, Pi Theta, Psi Alpha, Psi Eta, Theta Epsilon, Theta Theta, and Xi Nu,
Your light shines brightly across South Carolina campuses and communities,
Reminding us that leadership and love can coexist beautifully.
To Alpha Omicron Zeta, Beta Beta Zeta, and Beta Pi Zeta,
To Delta Tau Zeta, Delta Xi Zeta, Epsilon Chi Zeta, Epsilon Iota Zeta, and Epsilon Psi Zeta,
To Gamma Mu Zeta and Gamma Zeta,
Thank you for nurturing families, communities, and sisterhood with unwavering care.

And to our beloved Zeta Amicae Auxiliaries across South Carolina,
Thank you for standing beside us in friendship, service, encouragement, and love.
Your presence strengthens our mission, enriches our communities,
And reminds us that sisterhood extends far beyond titles alone.
Today we celebrate every mother,
Grandmother, bonus mom, godmother, auntie, grieving mother, legacy mother, and woman who mothers through love alone.
Thank you for the prayers whispered over your children.
Thank you for the sacrifices no one saw.
Thank you for pouring into others even when you were tired yourself.
Thank you for teaching us what grace, faith, and Finer Womanhood truly look like.
May this Mother’s Day remind you that your love matters,
Your presence matters,
And your legacy will continue blooming long after today.
Happy Mother’s Day to the beautiful women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and the Zeta Amicae of South Carolina.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Reathea Nesbitt, 13th South Carolina State Director
