Swing Phi Swing Social Fellowship, Inc.® was founded at Winston-Salem State University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at the conclusion of the Civil Rights Movement and the burgeoning of the Black Power Movement. Twelve African-American women - proud, innovative, and determined, founded Swing Phi Swing on Friday, April 4, 1969 which was the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. These twelve dynamic women displayed their commitment to the cause. At a time of social unrest, these twelve young women created an organization that would honor the trailblazers of the Civil Rights Movement and their legacy.

In 2017, a group of sisters wanted to re-ignite the sisterhood flame in New Jersey and created the Ajeya local planning unit. Our motto is "Through our bond of sisterhood, we will strive to provide quality mentorship and community service by uplifting , empowering and motivating our community." Over the course of the planning year, the Ajeya local planning unit provided service to several food banks and community pantries, hosted dinners for the Ronald McDonald house, and participated in several autism awareness projects. Due to the dedication and commitment of these sisters, the Ajeya Graduate Chapter was chartered on March 5, 2018.

The Charter members of the Ajeya Graduate Chapter are:

Zakia Benyard

Angelina Huggins

Jessicalee Huggins

Since the chartering of our chapter, we remain dedicated as Sisters With Interest Never Gone. As we approach our 5 year charter anniversary, we have formulated the Ajeya Foundation (charitable arm of the Ajeya Graduate Chapter), dedicated several hours of service and provided support to graduating college seniors. Members of the Ajeya Chapter proudly sit on several national and regional committees serving our beloved sisterhood.
