Founders Zeta's Five Pearls 62nd Anniversary 1920-1982 THE FOUNDERS OF ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY: FIVE WHO MAD E A DIFFERENCE

Viola Tyler Goings

Following World War I, from 1917-1920, was a time particularly dark for blacks in America. Women in America were given suffrage. However, things looked rather bleak for the black woman. One can well imagine the amount of courage five young ladies needed to start a sorority in the prestigious city of Washington, D.C. in 1920. It was during the time when most blacks found it difficult to find work. Most blacks saw the White House through the "backstairs." It took pain and sacrifice, not only on the part of these five women, who out of their meager financial holdings, began an organization that has blossomed into prominence. One important feature of the sorority then, and it continues now, is to take women with potential for excellence and shape and mold them into prominent leaders. The names are too many to number, but they are found wherever progress is being made from the United States to the continent of Africa. -Soror Effie Burford Iota Zeta Chapter Indianapolis, Indiana

From The Desk of The Grand Basileus, Dr. Edith V. Francis "Zetas Working Together: Rendering Service to Improve the Human Condition"

Are you the kind of person who gives 100 percent of yourself to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., or 75 percent, or 50 percent ... or maybe less? Your involvement can mean the success of your Sorority in the community. If your commitment is any less than 100 percent, the well-being of your Chapter's community involvement may be at stake. An active Zeta has the capacity for a great amount of good, whether it's performing service activities on a one-to-one level in the community or throughout the world. Every Soror who joins a Chapter should realize that it's involvement that counts. No Soror should rely on "the other Soror" to do her share of work or, for that matter, the caring that makes Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. such a unique organization. Sorority members are more than a group of women who meet monthly and they're much more than a congenial assortment of women who pay dues or write checks. The Sorors are hard workers and if given a chance they will live up to every Zeta's ideal, "service to others." Sometimes, though, we may begin to talk back a little on our vow of helping humanity. Maybe things begin to pile up a bit in the office, and a Soror just can't make it to a planned service project. Maybe she feels as if her free time should be spent elsewhere. In other instances, a Soror may feel as if she's not needed in her Chapter because a certain group of Sorors seem to perform all the service activities, never asking the other members for assistance or advice. Each member should feel personally responsible for the success or failure of her Chapter, Regional or National meetings. An individual holds the key to the fate of her organization. If every member decided not to bother showing up for a fund-raising or a clean-up activity, that project would naturally be a failure. All that would remain would be the thought of the good that could have been accomplished if every member had been 100 percent committed-the money that could have been raised to help a desperately needy family; the fun

neighborhood children would have had enjoying a safe and clean park, or the genuine enjoyment a group of handicapped children could have had if a Chapter had been able to fulfill its promise of an outing-if only enough members had been present. Fortunately for so many people around the world, the majority of Zetas are 100 percent committed to our great organization, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., and have always been found in the foreground of civic improvements, service activities and caring for those who do, indeed, need people to care about them. A commitment to service goes a long way. It's something that is carried privately, and displayed proudly in the Sorority pin which identifies her as a Zeta. She is needed as a vital link in Zeta's service efforts. To serve, should be one of the main reasons why you joined this Sorority, and today, to Zetas one and all, I renew the call in our theme, "rendering service to improve the human condition." 3

Messages from National From Your National Chairman of the Executive Board

Leonia McQuillister

GIVING During our most recent meeting of the Executive Board, Soror Laura Farwell, National Chairman of Trustees, distributed miniature posters which read: "Coming together is a beginning; Keeping together is progress; Working together is success."

Those three lines exemplify the kind of cooperation which has been engendered among the Board members during the past nineteen months. First, becoming sensitive to the problems which had to be resolved; making steps toward developing a foundation for inter-personal relationship; tapping various resources, and finally utilizing every gesture of willingness (Zetas) .. The Board now feels that those combined ingredients have been instrumental in consumating a successful program, so far The Board has tried to develop a kind of charisma which will continue to help Zeta grow. All is not perfect, but the challenges are there! Zeta, today, is in the black, thanks to all of you. If it had not been for your positive acceptance of what actually existed, all would have been lost Your responses, in all forms, have reinforced faith -in Zetadom. God grant that this kind of spirit will continue. National Headquarters has begun to take on a "new" look, and it is gratifying to know that your faith in the administration made this possible. There is still much to be done, and we have to realize that only through constant care and vigilance will Zeta be able to survive and stand out as a symbol of integrity and the finest womanhood.

From the Pen of the National Executive Secretary

BOULE 1982 has summoned the interest, the attention and action of a large number of Zetas, their spouses, children and friends. It appears that the attendance at this up coming convention will surpass that of previous Boules. We do hope, however, that each soror will have her credentials intact and in order; and we count on you to have a profitable and pleasant experience at the 62nd Anniversary Boule. The National Office is striving to provide the kind of mechanism that will simplify and expedite the registration process. Cooperation from sorors will be most essential In order to achieve smooth and effective service. The member-

Thelma H. Fisher

Messages from National ship card, the white copy of the registration form and an official receipt are most important documents to have with you upon registering at the Boule. New sorors will want to browse through the National Headquarters Supply Center at the Boule to purchase the necessary literature and novelties on display. There will be a special bargain supply package which you will not want to miss. Be sure to take advantage of "Bargain Day" at the Boule. In addition, Sorors, take note of the vital issues that will arise in Boule sessions-issues that will seriously affect the growth and progress of this organization. We can no longer just meet, greet and eat-and frolic, for we live in an era which is economically, politically and socially crucial.

Let us be objective in deliberations and our decisionssubjective only in our desire to serve and implement a worthwhile program. As we move into another fiscal year in Zetadom, we anticipate new developments and a new horizon in the management and operation of the National Executive Office. Expect a very important and informing piece of news which will denote the results of your support and cooperation. We hope that you will be stimulaged to continue your uninhibited support and your loyalty to Zeta. Sisterly, Thelma H. Fisher Executive Secretary

Zeta Represented at Black Sororities and Fraternities Campus Leaders Conference

Soror Mirian Cade of Birmingham, Alabama and Debveda Berry of Brooklyn, New York were among 25 college student leaders who took part in a weekend conference at the O'Hare Airport Hyatt Regency Hotel to promote cooperation among eight Black sororities and fraternities. The campus leaders were representative of a new spirit among 600,000 members of traditional Greek-letter college organizations, according to a spokesperson. They met to discuss ways of replacing traditional rivalries for prestige and the most promising candidates for membership, with collaborative efforts to address problems Blacks face. Fundamentals of organization, leadership techniques and relations with non-Greek-letter organizations were among subjects examined in the two-day sessions. Cheryl Howell, second vice president of Alpha Kappa

Alpha Sorority, said the leaders of the four sororities and four fraternities must develop "a collaborative basis to effectively address today's problems." She said she expected versions of the conference to be repeated on college campuses across the country. Programs considered included scholarship development, tutoring, community health, and bringing awareness to the civic contributions of their organizations. The eight national organizations presently support the Urban League, NAACP and other Black civil rights and charitable activities. Importance of the conference was attested to by the presence of national graduate leaders of the organizations who observed the proceeding. They included Dr. Barbara K. Phillips, Fay B. Bryant and Dr. Earnestine Green, president, vice president and executive director respectively of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Mrs. Mona Bailey, president; and Mrs. Lorraine S. Samuels, treasurer of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, James Blanton, executive director, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Charles Wright, past president, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, and Gloria Hadley, executive director, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority.

Organizations participating included Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho sororities, and Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma and Omega Psi Phi fraternities.

Founders' Day

Finer Womanhood Week Celebration

Alpha Zeta Chapter celebrated its 61st Founders' Day Observance on January 17, 1981, at the Baltimore Convention Center. The theme was "Dream Fulfilled; Life Perpetuated." Several hundred Sorors and their guests began the afternoon by browsing Zeta's Mini Exhibit. Greetings were extended by Soror Benita Edwards Demby, third AntiBasileus of Alpha Zeta Chapter, and Sigma Brothers Marvin Cheatham, James Ethridge, and E.J. Greaves. Soror Sandra E. East, Basileus, Alpha Zeta Chapter, gave the occasion and Founder Myrtle Tyler Faithful, was honored by a standing ovation and presented with a monetary award. Soror Mary E. Fields, first AnnBasileus, presented meritorius awards to Sorors Sandra E. East, Jane U. Harrison, Carrie D. Jackson, Doris Johnson, Lenora Westry, Bernice S. White and Mamie B. Williams. Highlights of the first 60 years of the Sorority, dramatically presented by Soror E. Fran Johnson, were interspersed with Inspirational songs by the Dunbar Chamber Singers. The program was closed with the singing of the Zeta National Hymn.

Finer Womanhood Week Celebration began with the sorors worshipping together on Sunday, February 22, at the Trinity Presbyterian Church. On Sunday, March 1, the Finer Womanhood Tea was held at Providence Baptist Church. The theme for the Tea was "Zetas Working Together Rendering Service to Improve the Human Condition." The main feature of the afternoon was a musical soiree by the Morgan State University Singers. Their repertoire included selections from Handel, Bach, Schumann, Bonds and Weill. It was a delightful afternoon attended by over 400 Sorors and guests. Sorors Ann Moreland and Barbara Briscoe presented awards to Rosetta F. Sands, Woman of the Year; Soror Roberta W. Clark, Zeta of the Year; Margaret C. Wicks, Community Service Award; and Donna Alston, Girl of the Year. A beatiful reception, catered by Soror Mildred Nelson, concluded the afternoon's program.

Atlantic Region Alpha Zeta Chapter Honors Retired Sorors

Zeta Rama

Sorors of Alpha Zeta Chapter honored their retired sorors at a Dedication Luncheon at the Holiday Inn, Harborplace, Baltimore, Md., on Saturday, March 7th. Honorees were Sorors Audrey J. Davis, Elizabeth Demby, Ethel D. Hall, Jane U. Harrison, Ellen Jones, Doris J. Johnson, Emma Black Roberts, Anita F. Myers and Precious Williams. Over 200 guests enjoyed a delicious buffet and had their spirits lifted with the resonant, rich lyric soprano voice of Soror Alma G. Macer, who rendered "A City Called Heaven" and "Morning".

Atlantic Region ETA Pl ZETA, MONTGOMERY COUNTY Zetas Present Their Sixth Annual Debutante Cotillion

On December 19, 1981, nineteen debutantes were presented by Eta Pi Zeta Chapter, the Montgomery County graduate chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., at its sixth annual Debutante Cotillion Dinner Dance. All of the debutantes were high school seniors primarily from Montgomery County, Prince Georges County, and the Washington, D.C. area. The Debutante Din· ner Dance culminated many activities which the chapter sponsored as a part of the debutante program. Since April the debutantes have participated in community service activities, cultural activities, social awareness programs, and personal self-development activities. The debutantes compete for three financial scholarships presented by the chapter on the evening of the cotillion. These scholarships are to be paid by the chapter to the college or university of the debutante's choice to assist with tuition, books, and other fees. Among the other awards were awards for highest academic achievement, and for community service.

The cotillion dinner-dance was held at the University of Maryland College Park Campus. Over the past five years, Eta Pi Zeta Chapter has awarded 15 scholar· ships to young women from this area to help them pursue their higher education goals. Through its five debutante pro· grams, the chapter has presented approximately 100 young women to the Washington area community, along with providing them with developmental opportunities. One of the highlights of the debutante program is the chapter's career workshop open to debutantes and other high school students. The career workshop provides opportunities for students to discuss career goals, obtain guidance and information on educational and skill requirements, and to meet representatives from business and professions. The debutantes presented this year were: Celeste Elizabeth Dade, Tracie C. Holmes, and Cheryl Linnette Malone, seniors at Montgomery Blair High School, Silver Spring, Maryland; Andrea Thornton and Carolyn Denise Williams

GOD'S GIFf Through the years she tried to shelter her youth, Protecting them from cruelty and even from truth. She's craddled a nation secure in her arms, She's moaned their disasters, she's praised their charms. The tears she shed, have caused many rivers to flow, As she encircles her child with no place to go. Her eyes reflect the hues of her great race, The tawney, the cream, the dary ebony face.

In the darkest of hours, when man felt alone, She was always there to encourage him on. She will moan and cry many a tear more, For she knows not what the future has in store, And when it beckons what she should do, Just live on Black woman, for our future is you. Soror Juanita Costin Freeman

Atlantic Region FINER WOMANHOOD OBSERVANCE MEMORIALIZES SOROR RABY

The Prince George's County Maryland Chapter, Delta Zeta Zeta, culminated its 1981 scholarship drive with a program which dedicated the naming of its Memorial Scholarship Fund in honor of Soror Georgie F. Raby. The musical tribute, held at Campbell AM.E. Church in Washington, D.C., began with the invocation by Soror Alice S. Barnes and featured Campbell's own Men's

Chorus, the Voices Unlimited, and the Will's Trio. So inspired by the Chapter's Scholarship Fund memorializing Soror Raby, the groups not only gave an extraordinary performance, which was an inspiration to all who attended, but they also showed their appreciation by returning to the Scholarship Fund the donations given them by Soror Virginia Eggleston. Dedicatory remarks were made by Chairlady, Atty. Lucy Edwards who cited the many contributions made by Soror Raby to the Sorority and to the community, and gave guidelines for the scholarship fund. The family was presented by Soror Evelyn Canty after which Atty. James H. Raby, husband of Soror Raby, gave reflections on her life and thanked the chapter for honoring her. Among the members of the family who were present were the Raby daughters -Mrs. Frances R. Richardson of Hampton, Virginia, Soror Mildred Raby

of Washington, D.C. and Atty. Mari R. Stafford of Arlington, Virginia. "Finer Womanhood" presentations were made by the Basileus, Soror Helen M. Hutchinson, who presented Soror Janette Bell the "Past Basileus" plaque for serving the chapter for four years. Certificates of recognition were awarded to Friend Nancy Howell by both the Prince George's County Chapter as well as the Zeta Amicae for dedicated service to the Prince George's Amicae during her term as president of the Amicae and for outstanding service respectively. Members of Omicron Gamma Chapter of Bowie State College passed out royal blue ribbons for the chapter, symbolizing Zeta's concern for the Atlanta Tragedy. The reception, chaired by Soror Sharon Henderson and coordinated by Friend Gladys Banks, was hosted by the Chapter and Zeta Amicae. Zeta Amicae served as ushers for the evening.

ZETAAMICAE SPRING GAIA The 1981 "Spring Gala," chaired by Soror Virginia Eggleston, took the form of a cabaret-dance. The dance room was beautifully decorated with blue and white balloons with streamers which flowed just above the heads of guests. Get-acquainted and dance mixing games, featured throughout the evening, were enjoyed by the guests. Guests included Pan Hellenic Council Members and representatives from area Greek Chapters.

The Prince George's County Zeta Amicae, organized in 1973 and advised by Soror Heneritta Freeman and Soror Mary Minor, continues to involve itself in worthwhile projects. Among the various fund-raising activities in the chapter's annual bake sale which has always been held in the New Carrollton Mall in New Carrollton, Maryland. Patrons-many having remembered from previous years -always seem anxious to purchase the "tasty goodies." Other fund-raising activities have included raffles, novelty sales, birthday calendars and bus trips. The chapter's community projects have included the presentation of good will baskets at holiday seasons, donations to the NAACP and UNCF, donations to the Prince George's County Home for Battered Wives, and the preparation and serving of holiday meals to senior citizens. 19

VOTER REGISTRATION In conjunction with the Prince George's County Agency, United Communities Against Poverty-(UCAP), Soror Alice S. Barnes has chaired the Chapter's membership participation in various projects. Voter registration is one project which is jointly promoted for the purpose of swelling registration rolls of black county residents in particular and all qualified residents in general. The strategy includes setting up voter registration tables in shopping centers, in community social service buildings, at supermarkets, and at municipal buildings where there is an opportunity to make contact with possible candidates for registration. This project has proved to be very successful and the chapter plans to continue it indefinitely.

Atlantic Region BOOKER T. WASHINGTON: An Educator for All Ages by Deborah Cannon Partridge Wolfe

One hundred years after the founding of Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington's contributions to the theory and practice of education are still valid. REPRINTED FROM THE NOVEMBER 1981 PHI DELTA KAPPAN Langston Hughes once called Booker T. Washington "the Roy Wilkins, James Farmer, and Martin Luther King of his day rolled into one."1 Perhaps less generally recognized than his leadership skills are the important contributions that Washington made to the theory and practice of education -contributions that transcend their time and remain relevant today. Washington put his ideas about education into practice at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, which he founded in 1881 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Today, as Tuskegee Institute looks back on its first 100 years, it seems appropriate to reexamine the ideas that made Washington an educator who was ahead of his time. The mission of Tuskegee Institute has always been to produce educated individuals. Washington defined an educated person as one possessing 1) both cognitive and problem-solving skills, 2) self-discipline, 3) moral standards, and 4) a sense of service. His recognition that true learning is more than memorization was unusual in his day. Only in the 20th century have we begun to define cognitive learning as the acquisition of knowledge and of those thinking skills that enable us to use knowledge to solve problems. Such recent curricular innovations as the CHEM study project of the American Chemical Society; "Science, A Process Approach," developed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science; and the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, headed by Nobel Prtze-winner Albert Szent-Gyorgy, echo Washington's philosophy of learning through problem solving. Washington's writings are replete with evidence of his concern for real understanding, not mere book learning. Happily the world has at last reached the point where it no longer feels that In order for a person to be a great scholar he has got to read a number of textbooks, that he has got to master a certain number of foreign languages; but the world has come to the con clusion that the person who has learned to use his mind . that the person who has mastered something, who under stands what he is doing, who is master

hours during the day at some trade or industry and study academic branches for two hours during the evening.... There could hardly be a more severe test of a student's worth than this branch of the lnstitute's work. It is largely because it furnishes such a good op· portunity to test the backbone of a student that I place such high value upon our night school. ... No student, no matter how much money he may be able to command, Is permitted to go through school without doing manual

labor."

DEBORAH CANNON PARTRIDGE WOLFE (Rutgers Uniuersity Chapter) is a professor of education at Queens College, City Uniuersity of New York. of himself in the classroom, out in the world, master of himself everywhere, that person is a scholar.2 If Washington emphasized both cognitive and problem-solving skills as essential educational goals, he believed self-discipline to be of equal importance. "(T]hat race is greatest that has learned to exhibit the greatest self. control, the greatest forbearance," he wrote.3 The requirement that every Tuskegee student do some manual labor was intended as much to develop self-discipline as to develop healthy respect for honest labor. In his em phasis on learning by doing, Washington foreshadowed John Dewey and the Progressive education movement by nearly two decades. Dewey used this principle as a curricular focus when he established his labo ratory school at the University of Chicago in 1896. Of his own emphasis on learning by doing first at Hampton Institute in Virginia (18791881) and then at Tuskegee Wash ington wrote: Students were admitted to the night school only when they had no money with which to pay any part of their board in the regular day school. It was further required that they must work for 10

Washington also believed that he could not develop a truly educated person without stressing moral development. "That education ... that gives one physical courage to stand in front of a cannon and fails to give him moral courage to stand up in defense of right and justice is a failure," he wrote.5 Washington's personal devotion to Tuskegee Institute and to its program exemplified his belief that people must lose themselves in significant, selfless causes in order to find themselves. He lived this Ideal by precept as well as by example: Education is meant to make us give satisfaction and to get satisfaction out of giving it. It is meant to make us get happiness out of service to our fellows. And until we get to the point where we can get happiness and supreme satisfaction out of helping our fellows, we are not truly educated.6 The principles that Washington enunciated a century ago still have validity for educators today. Washington felt strongly that the total environment must be conducive to learning. From his view of educelion, we can extrapolate some general guidelines for classroom practice today: • Motivation is essential to genuine learn ing. There can be no successful learning without persistent, selective, purposeful ef fort. Therefore, the goals of schoollng must be clearly defined, and both faculty and students must be committed to attaining them. • Because learning is goal directed actlvi ty, students learn best when education meets their felt needs or purposes.

Atlantic Region • Learning is enhanced when the material has meaning to the learner. • Learning is facilitated when the learner participates in planning the learning experience. • The holistic nature of learning suggests that learning is always influenced-positively or negatively-by emotions. From these guidelines, certain principles of skill development emerge: • Students should never be asked to memorize by rote any material that they fail to understand; drill is best when it grows out of practical, real-life situations. • Skill acquisition involves two stages: Integration and refinement. During the first stage, we should give students many contacts with a given skill in a variety of practical situations. During the refinement stage, the student develops precision through repetitive practice.

• Skills should be taught when they can be mastered efficiently by students; i.e., students must first have the experiential background that gives meaning to the material to be learned. The level of mastery also varies among learners. Beyond these implications for classroom practice today, what does Washington's concept of the educated person suggest for education in the Eighties and beyond? As the 20th century draws to a close, we are confronted by problems of greater magnitude and complexity than we have ever met before. Rapid change is a fact of life. Thus we are challenged to prepare youngsters for a world we can only dimly foresee. More than ever, we must be committed to producing truly educated individuals-selfless, self-confident, flexible young people who are able to learn, to solve problems, to make moral and humane choices. The words of Booker"T. Washington, written a century ago, continue to define the mission of education today: There never was a time in the history of the country when those interested in

education should more earnestly consider to what extent the mere acquiring of the ability to create and write, the mere acquisition of a knowledge of literature and science, makes men producers, lovers of labour, independent, honest, unselfish, and above all good. Call education by what name you please, if it fails to bring about these results among the masses, it falls short of its highest end. 7 1. Langston Hughes, "Introduction," in Booker T.

Gamma Nu Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. began the fall season with contributions to Charity. Sorors, along with young ladies and their mothers from Camden and vicinity, prepared for their first Blue and White Cotillion. It was a gala scholarship affair held at the Hilton Hotel, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. This community project, which is the first in this area in many years, has the Sorors of Gamma Nu Zeta Chapter on a "Zeta High." In January, Gamma Nu Zeta Chapter worshipped with the Chestnut Street UAME Church in Camden New Jersey for their Founders' Day Observance. In spite of the abundance of ice everywhere, there were several Sorors in attendance. Finer Womanhood was held at St. Augustine Episcopal Church in Camden. Awards were given to the Zeta of the Year, and the Woman of the Year. Each year, we make contributions to the Camden County Historical Society. The chapter arranged an exhibit of prominent blacks who have contributed to Camden's Black History. Several of the Sorors have participated in this annual program. This year, Gamma Nu Zeta Chapter's scrapbook was on display in the Historical Society's Exhibit. Soror Inez Brooks is a member of the society's Trustee Board. In conjunction with Black History Observance, Soror Charline Hairston was honored by the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life History in Berlin, New Jersey. Plans have been made for an evening at the Three Little Bakers' Dinner Theatre in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania in November, 1982. From this affair the proceeds will be for Scholarships and Charity.

The Amicae of the Gamma Nu Zeta Chapter has been a very busy group of friends to Zetas. We began with a bus trip in November 1981, to the Harras Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The proceeds from this trip were donated to Charity, and some needy families. At least once a year the Amicae sponsor a bus trip to some point of interest. Our bus trips also enabled us to send a delegate to the Regional. Our other activities included taking senior citizens on shopping trips, visiting the shut-ins, etc. The Amicae have purchased their Amicae Pins and ID Cards. During the Christmas Season, we had our Christmas Party at which time our president, Betty Jenkins, was presented a gift of $25 in appreciation of her dedication to our group.

We, of Zeta Lambda, would like to present our version of what a "True Zeta" is:

Blue and White is Beautiful When expressed by a Zeta Girl Hard work and achievement are essentials to her world She is open minded to all that is worth exploring and seeing it's not just wearing that Blue and White that makes her a strong human being Sisterhood is her companion her guide to sharing goals she is prepared to sacrifice for her fellow sisters, a tradition that is many years old; Old enough to be respected, and one we choose to go by, a tradition we all hold high Dedication is her reward, her key to the ultimate test, the pledging, the mental exhaustion, is worth all this. Zeta reflects the best ... If Zeta is your goal, come with an open heart to reach that Blue and White destiny once a Zeta, Always a Zeta until eternity.

ZETA DELTA ZETA-Moorestown "A ClASSROOM CAN BE A STAGE: ADDIE FULLER MELDS DRAMA WITH LEARNING" This caption was the title of an article about Soror Addie Fuller that appeared in the ACCENT section of the BURLINGTON COUNTY TIMES, January 31, 1982. The article was brought to our attention by a mutal friend, Mrs. Bettye Campbell of Bordentown, New Jersey. Soror Fuller is a warm, pleasant lady of Florence Township, who has been teaching at the Columbus elementary school for 17 years. She was been writing, directing and coaching young people in drama and the arts, both in and out of the classroom for the past 20 years. She is a graduate of Simon Gratz High School in Philadelphia and earned her Bachelor's Degree from Cheyney State College and Masters Degree from Trenton State College. As a teacher, Soror Fuller has learned to draw from experience and she is constantly on the lookout for new and innovative ideas. One of her classroom techniques involves borrowing from her love of drama and utilizing that resource as an effective teaching tool. "My job is to get children interested, to motiviate them into wanting to learn, and one of the best motivating tools that I can think of is the use of creative dramatics," stated the educator. "Creative dramatics is nothing more than getting the kids physically and actively involved in what they are learning. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, and it should never be complicated, and one of the nicest things about it is that it can be applied to virtually every subject." Soror Fuller has produced such theatrical favorites as "Sleeping Beauty," "The Wizzard of Oz," "Nutcracker Suite," and many other children's classics as well as a multitude of her own original works. Mrs. Fuller is a member of the Trinity Methodist Church in Roebling, New Jersey and has taught Sunday School. For almost ten years, Soror Fuller has been a member of Zeta Delta Zeta Chapter. "It's not so much a club as it is a women's alumnae (group)" she says, "We're an organization of women with similar intellectual and philosophical beliefs who all share a common interest not only in education, but in community affairs as well." Mr. John Hydock, Superintendent of Mansfield Township Columbus School were Addie teaches, has known and worked with her on a professional level for 12 years. "She's just a super person to know and work with," he says sincerely. "She always has the community at heart. "Addie is perpetually enthusiastic and always seems to have a positivie outlook on everything. She is well liked by the staff and our students alike ... just a tremendous asset to our school and community." Soror Jean E. Harris National Antapokritis

Atlantic Region DELTA ALPHA ZETA CHAPTER, BROOKLYN, N.Y. On Saturday evening, October 24, 1981, at the Brooklyn Music School and Playhouse, a very exciting cultural event was presented by Delta Alpha Zeta Chapter of Brooklyn, N.Y. Billed as "An Evening of the Performing Arts," the Program featured Soror Karen Williams, Soprano, and Miss Lucinda Ransom, Dancer-Choreographer. The event was a tribute to our own beloved Soror, Joanna Houston Ransom, a former past Grand Basileus and a staunch, dedicated Zeta thereafter. She served Delta Alpha Zeta Chapter faithfully for many years, until her death in October, 1980. Included in the program of the evening was a selection entitled "For Joanna," choreographed and danced by Soror Ransom's daughter, Lucinda Ransom, as a celebration of her mother's life as educator, lecturer, civic leader, advisor and friend. Soror Karen Williams, whose credits to date include performances in major roles with the Amato Opera Company of New York City, is possessed of a rare, beautiful voice and has the potential for a brilliant operatic career. She was accompanied by the well-known, highly regarded painist Kelley Wyatt. The performances of both artists were enthusiastically received by a near-capacity audience.

Eastern Region Soror Susie Speight Hilliard-A GREAT IADY By Soror V. Madge Haynes Montclair, N.J.

Soror Suzie Speight Hl/llard

I attended Winston-Salem Teachers College (now Winston-Salem State University) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina from 1950-1954. A woman of tremendous importance to me during those years was Susie S. Hilliard. She was the adviser to the Undergraduate Omega Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta, Inc., and she was most dedicated and committed. Today's problems throughout Zetadom's Undergraduate chapters would be fewer if we had Zetas who strived to fulfill the responsibilities of the adviser role as did Soror Susie S. Hilliard. The thing that I remember most was the fact that Soror Hilliard was always there. From the first rush party experience I had in 1950 to the last Omega Chapter meeting in 1954, we had the unfailing support, help and guidance needed to keep us on the right path. The Rho Zeta Chapter was most

diligent in its duties as the sponsoring chapter, and I know that Soror Susie S. Hilliard was exemplary in her liaison role as she helped to keep Rho Zeta on its toes where Omega Chapter needs were concerned. Do sponsoring chapters today remember to include their Undergrads in the yearly programs they present? Soror Hilliard saw to it that we were involved in many of Rho Zeta's. While I have many fond rememberances of various Zeta and other Greekdom greats who were invited to our college campus and city for programs and observances, it is the many times spent with the members of Rho Zeta Chapter in their many affairs that fill me with a warmth and love that I can never forget. I know it would have been easier for Rho Zeta to have planned and enjoyed many of their affairs without Omega Chapter participation, but thanks to the little nudge that Soror Hilliard supplied, we were often included. Those many experiences gave us the important feeling of knowing that we belonged, and that we were loved and respected by our graduate sorors. At the same time, we were being given opportunities to learn and grow as we saw how many of the graduate chapter affairs were executed. As an adviser, Soror Hilliard was wise in her ability to minister to our needs. She was a good listener. She knew when to make suggestions and when to let us learn lessons taught by small

I strongly agree that Soror Susie Speight Hilliard is truly the GREAT LADY so beautifully and eloquently described by Soror V. Madge Moore Haynes, Gamma Omicron Zeta Chapter, Montclair, N.J. It seems to me that Susie was adviser to undergraduate chapters throughout the state of North Carolina. Susie contributed significantly toward the growth and advancement of Sigma Chapter, Uvingstone College, Salisbury, N.C. where I was initiated over 50 years ago. Sue was always present at our Rush Parties, initiations, Finer Womanhood Celebrations, etc. Many sorors throughout the country remember and speak of SUSIE SPEIGHT HILLIARD as a real TRUE DEDICATED ZETA Susie also made

errors in judgement. She watched us grow into strong Zeta women. She gave so much of herself to see that the high ideals of the great Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. thrived on our campus. Looking back today, I realize that we took so much for granted. We were so secure and confident in our feelings that Soror Hilliard and Rho Zeta Chapter were there to guide us, and to help us in every time of need. Today's Undergrads need that kind of assurances from sponsoring chapters. Susie Speight Hilliard was a very special lady. She gave so much to us, her Zeta sisters locally and nationally. She was always in attendance at every state, regional and national meeting of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. And she kept us informed on important issues and requirements. Soror Hilliard was active in the affairs of our college and its Alumni Association, having served as president, as treasurer and on various important committees throughout the years. Her expertise and support were sought by many, and she tried to respond to every need. Rho Zeta and Omega Chapters and Winston-Salem State University no longer have the inspired and dedicated services of Susie S. Hilliard. Failing health has forced her to withdraw from all activities. My prayer today is that God loves Soror Susie Speight Hilliard as she has loved so many of us all these years.

noteworthy contributions toward the expansion of graduate chapters. When Alpha Alpha Zeta Chapter, Salisbury, N.C. was chartered, Susie participated In the ceremony and was one of the first to offer congratulations to us as Charter Members. Sincerest congratulations to Soror V. Madge Moore, Gamma Omicron Zeta Chapter, for taking time out of her busy schedule to write a wonderful tribute to Susie. May God bless Soror Susie Speight Hilliard and all the other undergraduate chapter advisers for a Job Well Done for Zeta. Soror Ruth Miller Gore Beta Nu Zeta Chapter Greensboro, N.C.

KAPPA ALPHA CHAPTER THE UNIVERSITY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA The Sorors of Kappa Alpha Chapter, the University of the District of Columbia have been hard at work promoting programs of the chapter and the University as well. Since many of the Sorors are residents of the District of Columbia, they have been able to carry on their programs during holidays and the summer months. During the summer of 1981, Kappa Alpha Chapter participated in the Walk-a-thon sponsored by the March of Dimes. Its members participated in the new student orientation at UDC by introducing the students to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. through displays of paraphernalia and exhibits of chapter events. They are extremely active in the

Pan Hellenic Council at the University. The Chapter has a very active I Z Club, composed of young ladies who not only believe in the ideals of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., but who are also working with the earnest desire to become a pledge of our organization. The Chapter continues to add new members to its I Z Club throughout the school year. Because Kappa Alpha is extremely interested in the youth of the District of Columbia, its members have chosen as their service project the Camp Fire Girls so that those programs may continue to be as viable \n the future as they have been in the past. The Sorors have also participated,

with Beta Zeta Chapter and its Archonettes, in the decorating of doors for senior citizens who reside at the Roosevelt Senior Citizens home here in the District of Columbia. The Chapter consists of Sorors: Jan M. Vincent, Basileus; LaVerne Gilmore, Tarnias; Gwendolyn Wooten, Grammateus; Evangaline Jones, First AntiBasileus; Wanda E. Pitcher and Janet J. Rhone, Sergeant-at-Arms. The sponsor of the Chapter, Soror Lynette F. Smith, feels that these six women are dedicated to the ideals of the Sorority and work extremely hard to further the programs of Kappa Alpha Chapter. Indeed Kappa Alpha Chapter is "Movin' On Up."

Eastern Region Beta Nu Zeta: Greensboro, North Carolina The "Involvement" Story of Beta Nu Zeta "Devoted," "energetic," "enthusastic," and "generous" are just some of the adjectives that describe the members of Beta Nu Zeta Chapter of Greensboro, North Carolina. Our National Theme-"Zetas Working Together: Rendering Service To Improve The Human Condition," has been a true inspiration for these very versatile sorors who have forged ahead, rendering service as they contribute their time and talent for the improvement of the human condition in the Greensboro and surrounding communities. Recently at a regular chapter meeting, there was an assessment of these services. It revealed the following: Soror Mary Lee Guy interviews students for the Job Corps and helps with applications and "follow-up." L. Richardson Hospital enjoys the regular volunteer services of Sorors Catherine Jones and Laura Brown who work as receptionists. Soror Mary Wynn works with the Candy Stripers. Soror Naomi Wynn is member and secretary of the Board of Directors of the hospital. "Johnny can read-now," is the cry of many of the volunteers who devote their tutoring services. They are Soror Lilian Harris who serves the Wiley Elementary School, Soror Catherine Barnes who oversees the tutoring services of Zeta Alpha on the campus of N.C.A&T. State University, and Soror Olive Lee who makes it a personal venture. Soror Barbara Washington, a local attorney was inducted as the first Black member of the Junior League of Greensboro, N.C. on May 1, 1982. Her appointment by the Mayor to the Greensboro Housing Authority keeps her on the go along with serving on the Greensboro Citizens Review Committee, United Day Care Service Board, The Legal Aid Foundation Board, Young Womens' Christian Association, and as Vice President of the Greensboro Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.

Our national project, The Stork's Nest has Soror Odessa Harris as its local supervisor. It is open each Saturday from 10:00-11:00 AM., at which time clothing for needy infants is distributed. Soror Frances Story is the Directional Sports volunteer. Soror Catherine Murray finds time to do volunteer work, even though she is Assistant Principal of the Mendenhall Junior High School. Soror Frances Enzlow serves as secretary of the Citizens Forum of Greensboro. The Senior Citizens at the "Y'' receive special attention from Sorors Viola Bullock, assistant secretary, and Clara B. Rieves, secretary, as they share their services with the Metro workgroup. Soror Lillian D.

Churches of the area have also reaped great benefit from the oratorical talent of Beta Nu Zeta with the following results: Soror Mary Guy-Woman's Day speaker at the St. Stephen's AM.E. Church, Liberty, N.C. Sorer Barbara Washington-Woman's Day speaker at the Soldiers Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church, Salisbury, N.C. Soror Frances Enzlow-Woman's Day speaker at First Baptist Church, Lexington, N.C.

FOUNDERS DAY-FINER WOMANHOOD CELEBRATION for Beta Nu Zeta, Zeta Alpha, and Chi Gamma Chapters began with a MINI WORKSHOP conducted by Soror Ruth Miller Gore, who enthusiastically presented the history of the sorority along with the history of Zeta Alpha, Beta Nu Zeta, and Chi Gamma Chapters using pictures, charts and diagrams. She feels that "Zeta's family now faces three challenges of the eighties: Commitment to improving the human conditions, in· volvement of all members, and intracommunication coupled with extra-communication." Sorors worshipped as a group at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer on February 14, 1982. On March 5, 1982 sorors and more than 300 guests enjoyed an elegant DinnerDance at the Holiday Inn Four Seasons complex. Planning for the affair was due to the very expert talent of Sorors Clas· sle Jarman, Lessie Holt, and members of their committee. The "Involvement" story of Beta Nu Zeta is a beautiful story which has no end. For as long as there are dedicated sorors in Beta Nu Zeta there will be dedication, commitment, and Involve· ment.

Eastern Region Rho Zeta Chapter: Winston-Salem, North Carolina ZETAS on the Move:

THE LONG-LEGGED BIRD VISITS US

"Reaching Out and Touching" The above quote seen and heard on national television is NOT just another commercial for the telephone company. To the Sorors of RHO ZETA it has become a "way of life." Last year Soror Emily Harper and the members of our program committee intitiated the idea of bringing in key speakers from several community agencies to acquaint us with the intricacies of their organizations. We found that we could make a worthwhile contribution in many instances. Therefore, this year our yearly Handbook included an extension of last year's programs which provide multiple opportunities for community involvement. We have not limited our contacts to a specific area of the city. Our scope includes a broad sector and involves the elderly, the youth, the handicapped and the poor. In a manner of speaking, we are now fighting, as only ZETAs can, the ugly effects of the Reagon economics. Specifically: ( 1) At present we are offering financial aid to a one-parent family. This began at Thanksgiving. Further plans are in the making as we project and define our ideas with the social agency which handles such matters. (2) We are providing information to the elderly who seem to be innocent victims of the present crisis. We will provide information on available transportation to doctors appointments and to other Senior Citizen's meetings. (3) We are concerned with the Voter Rights Act and intend to contact our representatives in Raleigh and Washington to voice our sentiments. In the meantime, although we realize that our continued happiness and sisterly love must be intermingled with many of the above performances, we must also have a chance to enjoy the fellowship of each other and of our families. We held a Christmas Party to include

our loved ones. Santa was the welcome guest and we awaited his gifts with bated breath. (We were all good," you know.) Founders' Day and Finer Womanhood found us in our usual frame of praise and adoration as we recalled our "roots" and paid homage to those who set in motion the glorious sisterhood of ZETA PHI BETA

SORORS IN THE NEWS

Great Lakes Region This is the "Year of Disabled." It was appropriate for the Zeta Amicae first meeting to begin with projects to support the disabled. Our primary goal is the donation to the Out Patient Heme-Ocology Clinic-Pediatric Services, Hurley Medical Center in our city. This donation will be used when needed to hold Christmas parties for the children, to purchase birthday and Christmas presents and toys for the Pediatric Clinic.

Great Lakes Region Gamma Delta Zeta Chapter, Cleveland, Ohio The Sorors of Gamma Delta Zeta Chapter have had a full program of activities since the last printing of the Archon. The Sorors worshipped together at Fellowship Baptist Church in observance of Finer Womanhood. Brother Gabriel Lee, Phi Beta Sigma, is minister of the church. After church service, the Sorors dined at the Diamond Restaurant. Gamma Delta Zeta held its annual Awards and Honors Luncheon on Saturday, June 6, 1981, at the prestigious Women's City Club of Cleveland. The purpose of the luncheon is to recognize those Sorors who have given their time and talent to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and the Cleveland community. A quarter of a century is a milestone in one's life. Sorors Ruth Earl and Margaret Cameron were recipients of the Tyler Sisters Founders Award for 25 years membership in Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Soror Ora Sims received the Zeta Woman of the Year Award for her contribution to the chapter. Soror Sims' two daughters, Soror Barbara Whitaker and Soror Pamela Craig, join her in Zetadom. While Soror Sims received the award for 1980, Soror Rosetta Willingham was the recipient for 1981. Soror Willingham's untiring efforts on behalf of Gamma Delta Zeta through her service and her talent as a vocalist made her the prime candidate for the Woman of the Year Award. The Professional Achievement Awards were presented to Sorors Ruth Earl, Carleen Garrett, Phyllis Gamble, and Lucretia Johnson. For their time spent in helping the elderly and less fortunate of the community, Sorors Sallie Hopson, Armida Redding, and Dorothea Walker received the Volunteer Award.

Special Category Awards went to Brother Frank Brown for his 50 year membership in Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity; and Sorors Maria Baskin, Mary Henry, Ora Sims, and Louise Williams for their retirement after many years of dedication to the youth of Cleveland. Each year Panhellenic Council presents an award to a deserving member of each of the Greek organizations. Zeta Phi Beta's recipient was Soror Rosetta Willingham who was recognized for her contribution to the sorority and the community. In early June the Sorors of Gamma Delta Zeta enjoyed an afternoon of music, recitation, modern dance and style show put on by pledgees Irene Boozer, Mattie Malone, Beatrice Martin and Bertha Walker. Later in the evening they were initiated into the sisterhood of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. This busy year continued with the celebration of Gamma Delta Zeta's 35th anniversary on Saturday, October 24, 1981, at the Hollenden House Hotel.

Midwestern Region Omicron Iota Chapter Holds State Meeting Missouri held its State Meeting Saturday, October 10, 1981 at Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, Missouri. Omicron Iota chapter served as the host chapter, Soror Sherry Brooks, Xi Zeta chapter, Missouri State Director. Sixty-five sorors from both graduate and undergraduate chapters were in attendance. The theme of the conference was ZETA-#1 IN MISSOURI. Interesting workshops were pres· ented. Workshop I, presented by Soror Edda Pittman, Xi Zeta chapter, was entitled "Shining the Zeta Light." Soror Pittman brought the group an exciting workshop with numerous examples of methods to achieve high visibility for Zeta. For example, she suggested that each chapter might do the following to get publicity: 1. Do press releases 2. Do radio and T.V. spots 3. Do radio talk shows-when visiting national officers are in town 4. Do political endorsements 5. Do charity telethons Soror Pittman also gave tips on writing news releases such as: 1. The lead-includes who, what, why, where, when and how. 2. The tie-in-background information 3. The body-further details It was further suggested that press releases should be sent in advance of

the activity using short snappy sentences. Workshop II was presented by Soror Evelyn Townsend, State Director of Kansas. Soror Townsend focused on "Steps to Effective Chapter Operations," presenting to each Soror a booklet entitled "A New Season for Zeta." This booklet contained a blue print of organizational planning for Zeta Chapters. She further stressed the irnportance of each soror keeping her financial obligations current as well the importance of chapters meeting deadlines that national has mandated. Soror Mayde Henson, Xi Zeta Chapter presented the third workshop entitled "Strengthening Graduate and Undergraduate Relationships." Soror Henson brought to the group food for thought by making the sorors deal with the lack of communication that exists between sorors. She also talked about how attitudes and feelings block communication between sorors. She finally challenged the sorors to strengthen Zeta's ties by finding projects which are conducive to opening up lines of communication between graduates and undergraduate sorors. The last workshop was conducted by Sorors Helen Speed and Margie Roberts, both of Eta Zeta Zeta chapter, Kansas City, Mo. This workshop generated much group interaction. The presenters also challenged the conferees to

develop programs in the areas of human rights, economic development, health, social development, youth education and the environment. Audience participation was overwhelming. Prizes were awarded for the tallest Zeta, the shortest Zeta and the Zeta who had been in the sorority the longest. Entertainment in the form of Pep songs was provided by Iota chapter, Phi Alpha chapter, and the Upsilon Theta Chapter. A great time was had by all. The next State Conference will be held at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Omega Epsilon will be the host chapter.

The luncheon came into focus with piano selections by Carolyn Williams who also accompanied soloist Joyce Davis, leading the singing of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," and grace by Thelma Burnett. The festive program mood was enhanced by renditions of "Believe in Yourself' and "You'll Never Walk Alone," sung by Mary Larde, with Bernice Bolar at the piano, followed by inspiring remarks by the chapter's basileus, Dr. Mary Ann Tillman. The selected seven were introduced by Cyreatha Morgan, composer of the poetic skits that gave intimate glimpses of each honoree, with alliterative prefixes to their names: "Sparkling" Sherry Brooks, by Edda Pittman, Archonettes Karen Smith, Lorie Ross and Keesha Evans; "Fantastic"

St. Louis area chapter members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, lnc. manned the phones during Channel Nine's membership drive and thus launched their series of innovative community service projects for the year. More than 400 Zetas, Amicae and Archonettes (affiliate groups) representing Xi Zeta graduate chapter and Phi Alpha, Omega Epsilon and Chi Kappa undergraduate chapters, wearing their powder and navy blue T-shirts with white slacks, accepted pledges exceeding the night's goal of $10,000 while answering the phones during the

Midwestern Region PHI ALPHA CHAPTER: ST. LOUIS Greeting to all of our sorors from Phi Alpha Chapter in St. Louis, Mo. This year, we have been busy growing in sisterhood and upholding the traditions of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. We began our 1981 activities in August by participating in a community service project with Xi Zeta graduate chapter. This was Channel 9's membership renewal drive. All of the sorors had a great time doing this service event. Since we did very well with the membership renewals, we were asked to return next fall. In the month of September, we held an information booth at the Panhellenic Council Fair at Washington University. This was the opportunity for all interested young ladies to meet the sorors, and inquire about the sorority. Our Fall Rush was held at Soror Sharon D. Billingsly's home; we had such a tremendous turnout of both guests and sorors.

Also in September, we participated in another community service project with the American Cancer Society's Bike-AThon, at Florrisant Valley Community College. There, we worked two hours each, encouraging bikers to pursue their goals, directing bike traffic and making sure that the biker's check point stubs were punched out at each route stop. In October, Phi Alpha participated in the Missouri State Meeting at Central Missouri State, in Warrensburg, Mo. There, we operated in various sorority organizational workshops. Again, we participated in Greek Day Activities at Harris Stowe State college. We set up an information booth for the sorority. On November 7th, we participated in the Annual Cinderella Ball. Our contestent was Soror Trena L. Williams. All the sorors contributed to help make it a great success. We distributed two Thanksgiving food baskets to needy families in the St. Louis

The Archonettes of Xi Zeta Chapter, St. Louis, Missouri are always on the move, volunteering their service in the community. The girls are involved this year in working as volunteers at Aunts and Uncles, an organization which gives shoes free of charge to school age children whose parents are not financially able to provide them with shoes. The Archonettes are also visiting on a monthly basis at the Annie Malones's Children's Homes and in December 1981 went Christmas caroling for the Caroler's Association. They also provided a Christmas basket for a needy family. In addition, the girls have plans to co-sponsor, along with the undergraduate chapter, a seminar on Adolescent Health some time in May, 1982. The year will culminate with a MotherDaughter Luncheon to be held in honor of the graduating seniors. The groups will present to each of the graduates a corsage, her lunch and a cash award.

Community on November 24th. As for our Christmas Projects, again we distributed food baskets in the community, and delivered Christmas gifts to the elderly for the Salvation Army. On December 4th, we marched in the AK.A's "Second Annual Greek Extravaganaza." Finally, at the end of the year, we hosted a holiday get-together for returning sorors during the Christmas break. For further chapter activities, we have incorporated a 15 point community service project program. Points can be obtained by participating in/or organizing a community service project program for the chapter. By our sorors actively participating in this 15 point program, and other planned events, it is obvious that PHI ALPHA truely exemplifies a service sorority. RIGHT ON PHI ALPHA!

Midwestern Region Zetas on the Move in Nebraska March of 1981 was a busy one for Sorors in Nebraska. Members of Beta Psi Zeta and Tau Alpha of Omaha and Phi Iota at Lincoln ventured in joint effort to celebrate "Finer Womanhood" month. The month commenced with a unity worship attended by the members of the sorority and pledgees at Pilgrim Baptist Church. The Rev. Nedi! McPherson, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, delivered an inspiring message entitled, "The Two Minds." Renewing their commitment to finer womanhood, educational excellence and community service, sorority members and pledgees participated in a retreat which was held at Mercy Fontenelle Homes. Regional Director E. Porchia addressed the group on "Zetas Working Together; Rendering Services to Improve the Human Conditions." Guest speaker Carolyn Sheldon discussed some concepts from her program, "To The Best of You," a Kewit funded program teaching young minorities how to feel good about themselves, techniques on job searching and good grooming tips.

Fun was had by all as Zeta pledgees endured "hell week," which was the climax of initiating five new members to the Tau Alpha Chapter of the sorority. Pictured are new members of the sorority.

Southern Region Zeta Amicae of Waco The Waco Zeta Amicae auxiliary was chartered in June, 1979 with ten charter members and has enjoyed two fulfilling and successful years. The group has kept informed by being well represented at each regional workshop. At the June, 1981 workshop in Texarkana, Arkansas Amica Glorine Thomas was elected Regional Assistant Secretary. The group is very involved in the community and for the past two years has selected the Zeta Stork's Nest and the United Negro College Fund Drive as its major projects. Contributions to UNCF are made during the annual telethon on KWfX-1\l. Waco Amicae have many talented cooks and the group chose to offer a catering service for small banquets and parties as its major fund-raiser. Amicae advisors helped in making contacts with various professional organizations.

The Waco auxiliary participates with its sponsoring chapter whenever possible in Zeta public functions. During Finer Womanhood week the two groups united for their annual worship service, with a dinner afterwards. Founders' Day observance involved both groups and the local Sigmas. The Waco Amicae and their escorts were special guests of the Zetas at the Waco Annual Pan Hellenic Dance. Each Amica was recognized in a special way at the Zeta Blue Revue. As part of community involvment, the auxiliary has accepted annual participation in the Waco Founder Lion's Clubs' Cultural Festival to display black culture. This auxiliary was the first in the region to initiate an area Amicae workshop so Amicae not attending the regional workshop could learn and keep informed of Amicae programs and guidelines.

24, 1981 on the Paul Quinn College Campus, was conducted by Soror Lullelia Harrison, Regional Director of Amicae.

In Memoriam

In Memory of

Triumphant Sorors

TAKE THEE LORD Take thee Lord this soul unto thee, Take her unto thy care; For the time has come When toils and burdens She can no longer bare Take thee Lord this soul to thine house above, Grant her peace, joy and eternal love. Take thee Lord this soul within the strong protection of your arms, Keep her safe from all earthly harms Take the Lord our sister and friend, And help us to remember that death is not the end; But the beginning of a life without Turmoil, Sorrow or Strife Take thee Lord this soul from a troubled earth; Give her the strength she needs for her rebirth By Gloria Nottingham Willingboro, New Jersey In memory of Soror Erma Jean Nicholson Epsilon Xi Zeta Chapter Princeton-Trenton, New Jersey
