Happy Birthday to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated’s 24th International President, Dr. Mary Breaux Wright!
We celebrate the life, legacy, and leadership of Dr. Wright, who faithfully served as International President from 2012 to 2018, following two consecutive terms as National First Vice-President. A visionary and trailblazer, Dr. Wright made an indelible mark on our sisterhood and the communities we serve.
Her many accomplishments include serving as chief researcher and transcriber for Torchbearers of a Legacy, Zeta’s first published history book and launching the National Elder Care and Elder Abuse Initiative, the signature program of her administration. She oversaw the modernization of the sorority’s website with online registration and financial capabilities and implemented the impactful Seven-Point Plan focused on community service, health, education, and chapter development.
She also led Zeta to become the only Greek-lettered organization to partner with the National Science Foundation through the Human Genome Project, and in 1998, she was responsible for the sorority being awarded Non-Governmental, or NGO, Status by becoming a member of the United Nations.
Today, we honor your leadership, your legacy, and your unwavering commitment to excellence. We love you, and we hope you’re enjoying a beautiful and well-deserved celebration!
