Zeta Continues Blazing Trails in England

By Dr. Romanda Dillon

Since 2014, Alpha Alpha Eta Zeta Chapter has been bringing Finer Womanhood to England. As the only Black Greek Letter Sorority located in England, Alpha Alpha Eta Zeta has introduced Zeta to not only the people of their area, but also the concept of sororities in general.

Through community service projects, socials events, and fundraisers, AAHZ has continued to make their presence felt throughout England. One way the chapter has reached out to their local community is through their yearly Finer Womanhood event. Each year the chapter selects a local woman to be honored through this event. The chosen women have shown to be exceptional leaders of the local community and exemplify Finer Womanhood throughout their daily lives.

This year with the presence of COVID 19, Alpha Alpha Eta Zeta has continued to reach out to their community by honoring essential workers. In March 2020, the chapter presented gift vouchers to those who serve on the front line and continue to help the country run smoothly despite the virus.

Both the chapter and the chapter’s Zeta Male Network auxiliary has continued to build on the principle of service while in England by working with different feed the needy programs or providing warm clothes for the homeless during the winter months.

While the members of Alpha Alpha Eta Zeta love to reach out to the British community, there is also nothing better than to welcome their sorors who might be stopping in for a vacation or moving to England for a short time.

Being the only Black Greek Letter Sorority in England, has not been without its challenges. However, Alpha Alpha Eta Zeta Chapter continues to rise above anything that has come its way. While the chapter may be small in size, however the impact in England continues to be mighty.
