Sisters Under 1he Skin • • •
BY DH. NANCY BULLOCK WOOLRIDGE Grand Basileus All over the world women are becoming more conscious of their common sisterhood when they find themselves faced with problems of racial and national survival. Negro and Chinese, Jew and Arab, lose their racial and social identity when personal and community crises face them. When marooned on top of a high Alpine peak, when stranded miles from nowhere in the desert, when faced with tongues of angry flames licking at the window or doorway of the room, when seized by a strong brown hand as the billowing waves hungrily reach out to swallow her and h 'r loved ones, a woman b icorncs mother and sister of an international family. Caste and class fade away, for death and suffering make sisters of us all. H pain and fear can thus lay bare th ' soul of woman and reveal her naked nature as a sister of all women, why is it that love of her fellows, high ideals, desire for education, and the good life for all peoples produce the same effect? Arc th' stimuli confin xl to only one area? Are women essentially primitive? Cannot this unity of purpose, this united lrout, this human sympathy d 'rive from positive as well as ncp;ative or destructive sources? ls it not possible' for women to behave like sisters when the need arises for concerted action for publ ic, community, and international good? ln th, first section of the New York Times, the s .ction where the [cmiuinc taste is flattered with upp •a ling advertisements that reveal th fashion

flashes for the coming spring season, and where the feminine sense of economy is enticed by the "final clearance sales" of the leading purveyors of popular merchandise, there was a most striking picture. Culminating a long line of such significant graphic appeals, it portrayed an elderly woman, bent over, workmg at something in her hands. The caption read: "Facing a Cold Winter in Austria". A well-wrapped woman knitting in her Vienna apartment with the aid of candle light! If you glanced through other issues of this same newspaper about this same time last year, you noticed many more pictures, similar to this one. For instance, there is a spread of pictures with such revealing statements as this: "In freezing weather an old Parisienne searches the garbage for edible scraps." Under a picture of eight or ten boys eagerly gulping some liquid from wooden bowls, we read, "Little to drink in their pannikins and little to eat on the bare boards of a table for these youngsters in a French school for boys." Beneath another, "A nun returns with ~~r trophy from the marketplace, a sack of apples. In the years following World War II, Americans of this generation have witnessed social phenomena of unparalleled magnitude. Women in every part of the globe have seen their loved ones leave for th~ fighting front and fail to return. A recent picture in a popular magazine etches the suffering on the faces of Korean women as they meet to mourn the loss of their loved ones. The hearts of all women reacted forcibly 'to this human suffering which seems to come to women more poignantly than to others. Because of her proud and fortunate history the American woman is wont to accept as her constitutional right the safety of her homes, the freedom of her civilization, and the safety of a land thus far protected from the ravages of the hydrogen or atomic bomb. Negro women who were born when Zeta Phi Beta was founded have already lived to view social changes too significant and overwhelming to comprehend at times. The vast sisterhood of women throughout the world ha· begun to recognize the interdependcncc of peoples and nations from pole to pole. These women reflect the phras of Kipling, spoken Facetiously and lightly, as a burden of truth, For the Colonel's lady, an' Judy O'Crady Are sisters under their skins! Integration, as a positive state of being and not a superimposed frame of reference merely denoting desegregation, begins to mean something deeper lo the women of the world who are "sisters under the skin." I Iarry Emerson Fosdick points out in one of his essays that the importance of integration as a criterion of successful p ersonal life is emphasized when we consider the meaning of desirable moral character. No virtue is more universally accepted as a test 01· good character than trustworthiness. The psychological pr requisites of a reliable man or woman are imp irativc: he cannot halt the integration of his life at some immature stage; he cannot surrender to inContinued 011 Pago 6

REGIONAL ACTIVITIES OF ZETA NATIONAL PROJECT, PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF JUVENILE DElJNQU·ENCY REGIONAL ACTIVITIES By Lillian N. Fitzhugh, Director In no area of community activity is there a more urgent need for concerted community endeavor than in the area of youth activities to prevent the rising tide of juvenile delinquency that is sweeping our Nation. lt is gratifying that as members of a great national organization with finer womanhood her ultimate goal, that more and more chapters are assuming their responsibility for the wholesome development of youth by providing and participating in community youth programs that will prevent and control juvenile delinquency. The December, 1952 Archon carried a report of' some of the youth programs in operation in the Eastern and the Mid-Western Regions.

Continued from Page 3 ternal conflict. A man or woman of integrity must first of all be well integrated. Mr. Fosdick thus highlights the inner source of the outward actions-the well springs that lie beneath the surface or "under the skin. Thus the well integrated Zeta woman is not only that well educated and cultured lady, a "Finer Woman", but she is also sister to all women or good will on earth. She is most certainly sister to all her sorms, Not only arc the usual qualities of a11 integrated personality prerequisite to true sisterliness, but also the common bonds of [amily unity demand such 'S· sentials as these. Just as the human needs of fear, suffering and loss link the Queen in her royal palacewith the beggar in the street, so can bonds of common interest and of love join the men bers or a family such as Zeta's. The essence or this bond is loyally in a time when such a virtue is precious. To what should om' be loyal? To the political leaders or the couutry? To the pastor of the church? To the prcsident of the collcge'r' To the sorors who arc personal friends? By 110 means. One's loyalty is given to his native land, however weak its leaders; to his church and religious faith, however human the pastor; !o the Alma Muter, however indifferent its current admin istration, to the sorority, however u nsatislactory the sorors, Loyalty is therefore based upon an ctcrual and pcrmaneut principle of action and not upon the frailties of the titular head or the weaknesses of some of the members or the organization. J\ true sister must be loyal to her sisterhood. Other requisites of the integrated personality c,pressing itself in real sisterliness are comprehended in unflagging interest in the welfare of the grou ) ax well as pride in its performance. The keenest and most 1111.selfish joy, like those of a parent or older sister i11 the exploits or talents of the young, is the reward for this type ol integration. ,\ timely thought in these days or keen uwnrcuc-ss i11 1110ml and social intercourse comes wlu-n Z<'la wornt-u, together with collcue bred women throuuhout thr- world, lwgin lo rculiz« the real 11H•ani11g or integration as a nersouul attribute as well as a social

The t)iclmc above shows sorors at one or the chapter's 111:111y succcsslu 1 nff'airs. This one was called "Easter l'ro111t•nadc." Operating as a city chapter, a chief concern or the group was lo become chartered 011 a college campus. These plans and dreams at the present time seem close lo becoming a reality. A look al lilt' calendar shows a many-sided, well balanced program. The year has witnessed a major n•1 ision and Lighlc11i11g of tlw chapter constitution. Six new sorors have entered the ranks.

She spoke on the various phase of Juvenile Delinquency, citing some causes and suggesting remedies for same. After a brief rece ·s period, the group reassembled and engaged in community singing. At this time a very inter sting and informative address was given by Mrs. Isabell Baskin, an experienced social worker from New Orleans, La. First she defined Juvenile Delinquency, then listed as major causes: Broken Homes, and Misunderstood Childhood. As remedies she recommended that persons attempting to curb or correct delinquency should be able to understand the underlying causes, should use the experiences of others who have studied these things, as guides in meeting similar situations in real life. Music, a vocal solo, "Hold Thou My Hand:' by Mrs. G. C. Mackey, was quite effective at this point. Evaluation of the Workshop by Soror Shirley Inghram, who in her own unique way summed up the many fine contributions to the day's program, using such simple and easily understood phraseology that the youngest and most immature child present could understand. So closed the first Workshop on Juvenile Delinquency, sponsored by Gamma Kappa Zeta Chapter of' Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. With gratitude to Soror Corine F. Harris, chairman of the Committee on Juvenile Delinquency, who is almost wholly responsible for the arrangement and execution of this program. one being given at Roosevelt College in Chicago. Our Pledges have also been kept busy. The fratcrnitics here have an inter-fraternity basketball tournament. Alpha Alpha pledges were on hand in blue and white costumes to cheer the Sigma brothers. Two pledges, Hessyo Scott and Doris McGee, were rccipi mts of Chicago's Beta Iota Zeta graduate chapter scholarship awards. The awards were made on the basis of a competitive examination. These pledges have engaged in many other services. Around Chicago the sorors of Alpha Chapter arc wc-l] known for their individual works in their community churches, social centers and "Y's."

LAMBDA ZETA, GAMMA OMEGA ZETA HONOR WOMEN Houston, Texas - In keeping with the theme, "Securing Human Rights," the graduate chapters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority in Houston chose to pay tribute to women who have made outstanding contributions in the field of human relations. The women were chosen for their democratic and impartial services in various community activities. Mrs. Susan McAshan, a philanthropist and civicminded young woman, was a large contributor to the Julia C. Hester House which serves the cgro citizens in the Fifth Ward. She has also contributed heavily to the Texas Southern University dormitory fund. Aside from her contributions, she has also given her time to the development and establishment of these two institutions. rs. Marjorie Wilson was one of the pioi eers in the work at the Negro Child Center when it was begun in a little shanty on West Dallas. She gave her time and energy to the building of the new home on Solo Street, and then found time to assist in the establishment and building of the Hester House, which adjoins the Negro Child Center. Mrs. Margaret Crate has for a long time been interested in the improvement of relations between the races in this community and has worked diligently with the Houston Committee on Inter-racial Cooperation. She serves the committee as its chairman. Mrs. Olivia Ilogue was one of the founders of the Committee on Inter-Racial Cooperation in this city. She and her husband, the late W. II. Hogue, were the leaders in any movement that meant equality of citizenship at a time when such leadership meant certain unpopularity. vlrs, Elloise Williams, the "Woman of the Year", was chosen by popular vote of the community. She, too, has pioneered in the field of race relations as a Y.W.C.A. worker for many years. She served as chairman of the Committee of Management of the Blue Triangle Branch for several years and was active in

ping stones placed there. As we make plans and cast our lot for a more successful year during 1954, let us as sorors dear invite each one of you to keep the following in mind:
FORWARD EVER Heights of sorors reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight; But they while I on-sorors slept Were toiling upward through the night. Forward then sorors of ZETA-LAND Let nothing they view obscure; Beyond the great horizon Awaits the goal you have in view. To live our fullest we desire, By being a friend to those passing by, To light a lamp or lend a hand In order that others may understand. Scholarship, keep it as an aim, Lady-like conduct we all acclaim, Personable personality each must gain But sisterly love fastens the chain! --From the pen of Annie M, Higgins

Snack Party Success
Mobile, Ala.-Zetas have a right to feel proud of their brothers who have been appointed to new positions. [t was on ly six years ago that Brother J. T. Gaines was called back home to Mobile as principal of the \1obile Training School, and in that time he has done such a commendable job that his school received first class rating from the committee on evaluations. Brother Gain 's' experience and advanced work toward a Ph.D. degree at Columbia University have made him well fitted with a real know how for the new appointment as principal of Central High School with a faculty of 49 and an enrollment of 1,190 students. For two terms now Brother A. H. Williams has had an advance in position. Just last term a new junior high school and crop of first year teachers were principalcd hy him. l t stands to reason that these got off lo a fint' start, as Brother A. B. was moved to the Mobile Training School to replace Brother .J. T. Caines. lf experience plus training mean anything Brother A. 13. has them in a B. S. from Lane College, M. Ed. from University of Cincinnati and further study nt 1 Ioward University. To help shoulder the load at the Mobile Training School is Brother Smith Washington who has a Mastor's degree from Alabama Stale College for Negroes. There was much enthusiasm in the voice of one l'ricnc.l who was overheard in a discussion about his new job, with a new principal at the new Engine Street School, where Brother San ucl Burton is principal of 22 teachers. Brother Burton can exp ect nothing hut success from a congenial group such as he has lhcre. For two years now Brother Benjamin Clarke l as served as principal of the Wilmer School, having been elevated from the Chastang School. Brother Clarke receive his training al Clark University and is now doing adv anccd work at the University of Wisconsin.

lftt fflemnriam We deeply regret the passing of our beloved Sorer Huth . Thibodeaux, . who was Hegional Director ot the Southern Iicgion ol Zeta Phi Heta Sorority. Sorer Thibodeaux lived a beautiful and useful life, forever giving her best to Zeta and to the cause of humanity. We, her sisters, have shared in the grief and sorrow of her family and friends. She would want us to feel that "SUE IS JUST WAY." 0
Our sincere and deep sympathy goes to Sorer Lullelia W. Harrison and family in the loss of a nephew and aunt within a period of two days. May they have strength and courage to say, "TUY WLLL BE DONE." 0
vVc mourn with Soror Edna Mac Moore of Los Angelos, whose husband, Homer Moore, passed recently. Some Sorors who att .ndcd th Boule in 1946, will no doubt remember him as the Caterer in charge of all food concessions. We shall miss him, for he was a true Zeta husband. 0
0
Sorors of Zeta Phi Bela as well as our brothers, Phi Beta Sigma, were equally shocked to learn of the passing of Brother Dr. A. Langston Taylor in Washington, D. C. Brother Taylor was a co-founder of Sigma and Zeta. As has been said, "A Star ls Cone." His life of service and achievements for the betterment of his brothers and sisters will serve as a beacon for 11s all to follow. 0
To all Sorors who may have had sorrow or illness in their families during the past year, of which we have no knowledge, we wish for you a bright and cheerful cw Year.
