The first auxiliary groups founded were for young ladies in high school. 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.  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 organize service projects; participate in social gatherings to practice etiquette and social skills and just plain have 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.
