It is with immense joy and pride that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Omicron Epsilon Omega Chapter on the momentous occasion of your Biennial Beautillion. This year’s theme, “A Legacy of Achievement, Keeping the Dream Alive!” embodies the spirit of the “vision fair” created by our Founders and reinforces our collective responsibility to continue Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood.
It is truly commendable to witness your dedication to empowering young men The extensive program you have cultivated including leadership and etiquette training, HBCU awareness, financial planning, and community service reflects your chapter’s commitment to preparing future generations for success.
Your chapter’s significant investment in the next generation, as evidenced by the more than $70,000 in scholarships awarded in recent years, is a testament to your unwavering mission to uplift our communities and keep the dream alive. This extraordinary commitment not only equips these young men with tools for personal and professional success but also instills in them a sense of pride in their heritage and a responsibility to contribute positively to the world.
Please extend my congratulations to Beaus Knowledge Eiland-Maclin and Thomas Genewick for their dedication and perseverance throughout this transformative program. May they continue to carry forward the legacy of achievement that your chapter so beautifully represents.
Thank you, Chairman Nefer Mc Intyre-Mason, for your leadership and vision, which ensure that the Beautillion continues to make a lasting impact. Once again, a resounding congratulations to the Omicron Epsilon Omega Chapter on this magnificent occasion!
With sisterly love and admiration,
Shawn Emerson Simmons, PhD South Central Regional Director Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®
