Angelina Jolie and sons Pax Jolie-Pitt and Maddox Jolie-Pitt supported her daughter Zahara Jolie as she was inducted into the AKA sorority at Spelman College this week.
The 48-year-old actress was dressed in a modest, understated black dress as her sons — Pax, 19, and Maddox, 22 — joined to watch their 18-year-old sister’s milestone.
The new members of the Mu Pi Chapter were given a warm welcome with a luncheon hosted the The Whitley Hotel in Atlanta.
In an Instagram post shared by a fan account, Angelina, Pax and Maddox posed alongside other guests at the event at a table with green and pink flowers and place settings, emphasizing the organization’s colors.
Another upload posted to the app X, formerly Twitter, showed Zahara with a big smile on her face as she posed with her mom and two brothers.

Proud moment: Zahara was dressed in white and wore her curly locks down for the luncheon
The two young men were dressed in all black outfits, matching their glamorous movie star mother.
Angelina wore her brunette-to-blonde ombré hair in an off-center part and let the locks flow over her shoulder.
She beamed as she proudly held her daughter’s hand.
Jackie Walters of the Bravo reality television show spoke at the event, and later shared photos on Instagram.
Two of the pictures in her slideshow included the Mr. and Mrs. Smith actress.
Walters wrote in the caption, ‘It was so much honor to share my heart and to have been the keynote speaker for the Fall ‘23 finest @19sweetmupi79 lpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.’
She added that it was an honor ‘to have met @angelinajolie.’
Essence magazine acknowledged Zahara’s achievement by sharing a video clip from the induction.
Viewers online noticed Zahara appeared to drop her father Brad Pitt’s last name as she introduced herself.
Per People, the teen says in the excerpt: ‘My name is Zahara Marley Jolie. And [I] landed all the way from the Golden State in the city full of angels: Los Angeles, California.’
Angelina and Brad, 59, split seven years ago, but the exes have been embroiled in a contentious years-long feud over custody, the circumstances under which their relationship ended, and their ongoing business affairs.
‘I wasn’t gonna say anything, but I definitely peeped that Zahara left Pitt off her last name,’ wrote one person on X.
‘Oh Zahara said her last name is Jolie, not Jolie-Pitt,’ another posted.
‘I need people to respect her as an individual who just said her name out loud ZAHARA. MARLEY. JOLIE. Zero mention of the name PITT. Periodt,’ another posted.

Zahara is currently a sophomore at Spelman, a historically Black women’s college. Jolie first announced that Zahara would be attending the school via Instagram back in July 2022, and then turned heads when she dropped her off for her first semester that August.
And last year, the Gia star brightened up Spelman’s homecoming weekend as she walked around campus with Zahara, surprising admiring students.
Jolie and Pitt married in August 2014 and welcomed three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren together during their union — Shiloh, now 18, in 2006, and twins Vivienne and Knox, now 16, in 2008.
They adopted Zahara and Pax, and Brad later adopted Maddox, who Angelina had originally adopted as a single mother.
