In 1955, Hattye Tillett suggested to the Amicae Club of Washington, D.C., that daughters and granddaughters of the Amicae be organized into a social and civic group. Esther C. Peyton of Beta Zeta Chapter of Washington, D.C. sponsored this project and the D.C. Amicettes were the only group for a number of years. They were an excited group of adolescents comprised of daughters and granddaughters of Zeta Amicae, Phi Beta Sigma brothers and Zeta Phi Beta members, and other junior high school students who were invited to join.
At the 50th Anniversary Boule’ in 1970, the Amicettes were added to the Zeta structure as the junior-high auxiliary.
The Amicettes emphasize service; social gatherings with invited male guests for the purpose of learning the social graces and just plain fun. Some groups organize educational field trips to nearby cities, have pen pals in other states, and honor Amicette mothers through teas or luncheons. These girls usually become Archonettes when they finish middle school.
Amicettes are girls ages 9-13.
