The Kappa Iota Zeta chapter sponsors a scholarship in memory of chapter charter member Soror Marynette Bonner Lovejoy.

She served as the State Director and Regional Director of the Zeta Amicae from 1980-1992. She passed on February 8, 1998, but leaves a legacy of community service and a commitment to education.
