mississippi Xi Zeto Lambda honors local citizens Although Xi Zeta Lambda Chapter (Moss Point, MS) is only two years old, it has created a local tradition by sponsoring it's second annual Drum Major Awards. Honoring one citizen for each year since Brother Dr. Martin Luther King's death on April 4th, this year's honorees totaled 16. Nominated by local citizens, Xi Zeta Lambda hopes to spotlight those individuals that go unheralded for their unselfish deeds for the community. Xi Zeta Lambda won Chapter of the Year honors at the State Convention in Mississippi and, with community efforts like the Drum Major Awards, hopes to add many more honors to it's young history.
