                  HONORING ZETA PHI BETA ON 100 YEARS

  (Mr. CARSON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Zeta Phi 
Beta sorority on a century of nurturing leaders and improving 
communities.
  Founded on Howard University's campus 100 years ago, Zeta has 
chartered hundreds of chapters worldwide and has a membership of 
150,000. Its list of esteemed alumni is a who's who of Black 
excellence, including trailblazers in business, law, advocacy, public 
service, and more.
  I am incredibly proud that my grandmother, Julia Carson, is a part of 
this amazing legacy of women.
  As the sorority moves on to its next 100 years, I have no doubt that 
it will maintain and strengthen its zeal for excellence.
  Once again, congratulations to Zeta Phi Beta on your first century of 
success.
