Beta Gamma Psi is a travel-focused community service and redevelopment sorority, comprising women from diverse backgrounds The sorority, under the leadership of Tracey Thomas, conducts service projects both in Atlanta, Georgia, and internationally. This year, they embarked on the Margaritaville Cruise in partnership with Bahamag Magazine to support a local primary school on the island of Freeport, Grand Bahama
On May 4, 2024, Beta Gamma Psi generously donated over 100 bags of school supplies and necessities to Walter Parker Primary School. This initiative, led by Bahamag's Editor-inChief Jamie Fyne, who was inspired by former educators and the potential of the next generation, aims to enhance the educational development of the island’s youth
Ms Bain, Principal of Walter Parker Primary, expressed her profound gratitude for the contributions She emphasized that the donated items would greatly assist students whose families are unable to afford these essential supplies. However, she also noted that the school continues to need additional resources to support its students throughout the school year
Beta Gamma Psi's community service extends beyond educational donations The sorority is actively involved in the medical healthcare industry, raising funds and procuring equipment for facilities dedicated to operations and cancer treatment
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Tracey Thomas and the sisterhood of Beta Gamma Psi for making this generous operation possible
