Founded on August 4, 2018, Zeta Epsilon Chapter is the second chapter of Iota Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc., in Broward County. The idea of chartering a local Pembroke Pines, Florida chapter began with the vision of three zealous sorors. These exuberant women were led by Sonjia Reese who had the initial idea of forming a chapter.

The aspiring local group worked for approximately two months, finding enough members to charter and completing other requirements to become a chapter. Their unwavering efforts and dedication made the dream of Zeta Epsilon Chapter, Pembroke Pines, Florida a reality on August 4, 2018. The Emerald Goddesses charter members are Jeri Clinch, Angela Jones, Dezonia Keyes, Angela Mitchell, Sonjia Reese, Teria Brown-Robinson, and Sarah Thomas.

Under the leadership of the 22nd National President of Iota Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. Stephanie Dilworth, and the Southern Regional Director Denise R. Brandon.

The chartering took place at the Signature Grand in Davie, FL. The chartering and installation of officers took place under the direction of the Southern Regional Director Denise R. Brandon.

The first installation of officers were: President – Sonjia Reese, Vice President/Dean of Intake – Angela Mitchell, Recording Secretary/Journalist – Jeri Clinch, Assistant Recording Secretary – Teria Brown –Robinson, Corresponding Secretary – Dezonia Keyes, Financial Secretary – Angela Jones, and

Treasurer – Sarah Thomas.
