Chapel Hill-Carrboro Area Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
greetings from the president Welcome to the 2015 Jabberwock Scholarship Program: DeSTination Education: Capturing the Promise I bring you greetings on behalf of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Area Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. We are pleased that you have chosen to share this special occasion with us. Our theme this year evokes the true vision of the founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and a founding principal of our sisterhood – EDUCATION! We thank you for your continued support of our pageant and the many activities that have led us to this evening. Without your financial support, our young people would not be able to realize all of their hopes and dreams. Without your spiritual support, they would not be able to realize the strength they have to endure life’s obstacles. In an interpretation of the immortal classic “Alice in Wonderland,” Lewis Carroll created the delightful character known as “Jabberwock” who summoned all of the creatures in the kingdom to perform a gala event. Being mindful of this concept, Delta member Marian G. Conover Hope of Iota Chapter (Boston, Massachusetts) creatively recalled this mythical character, but in a dramatically different manner, when faced with the challenge of devising plans for a fundraising project. Conceptualized in 1925 as a musical variety show that consisted of skits and dances, the Jabberwock has since evolved into a more diverse program that continues to raise funds for scholarships and other Delta sponsored public service projects. The word Jabberwock, copyrighted by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., has evolved in its symbolism over the past eighty years. It now represents an evening of elegance and entertainment that showcases the gifts and talents of the young women participating in the program while advancing the goals and objectives of Delta’s scholarship program. The Delta Jabberwock program spans over a period of six months or more, featuring a plethora of cultural, educational, and social opportunities for participants comparable to a rites of passage experience, culminating in an evening of absolute sophisticated elegance. The program represents a comprehensive approach designed to instill inspiration and aspiration with no goals being beyond reach when consistently passionate dedication and persistence remain in the forefront. These activities are designed to minimize the challenges encountered with the transitions from high school to young adulthood, while promoting harmonious relationships among the participants and their families, friends and the community-at-large. The ultimate goal rests with assisting young women of color in becoming productive contributing future leaders in their communities and beyond. It takes a VILLAGE. Jemma and Jacqueline, I salute you for your hard work and dedication! To the parents of our Jabberwock contestants and their escorts, we would like to thank you for your support. Your cooperation and dedication have contributed to the success of tonight’s program. To our eight very special young ladies and their escorts, continue to aim high. Working with you has been such a pleasure for all of us. May God continue to bless you. To our Sorors, we thank you for continuing to make this magnificent production the growing success it is. Thank you for your dedication, enthusiasm and willingness to work together as true “sisters”. With utmost gratitude,
V. Dianne Peerman-Pledger President Chapel Hill-Carrboro Area Alumnae 6

elta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a private, non-profit organization, was founded on January 13, 1913 by twenty-two collegiate women at Howard University in Washington, D.C. These students wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to provide assistance to persons in need. The first public act performed by the Delta Founders involved their participation in the Women’s Suffrage March in Washington, D.C., March 1913. Delta Sigma Theta was incorporated in 1930. Delta Sigma Theta is a sisterhood of more than 200,000 predominately African-American college-educated women. The sorority currently has over 900 chapters located in the United States, Japan (Tokyo and Okinawa), Germany, the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas and the Republic of Korea. The need to continue the Founders legacy of scholarship, service and sisterhood evolved into the formation of a new chapter in the Chapel Hill- Carrboro area. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Area Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was chartered on March 18, 1979 by twenty-two alumnae members living in the Orange County area. The major programs of the Sorority are based upon the organization’s Five Point Programmatic Thrust: • Economic Development • International Awareness and Involvement • Educational Development • Physical and Mental Health • Political Awareness and Involvement 7

Parents, grandparents, guardians, friends, team supporters, escorts, and family members, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We could not have done this without you.

CONGRATULATIONS FAHSYRAH
To: Our beautiful daughter Fahsyrah, it appear almost as though it was yesterday when you arrived into this world on September 5, 1998 at 3:36pm and weighed in 5lbs-10 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long (our bundle of joy). Almost sixteen years later you are almost ready to leave the nest and we continue to ask ourselves, where did the time go? You were our angle sent by God to us and you have been much more than a good daughter but have been a beacon of light who have taking challenges head on by being a good student, a believer in service, and is willing to work hard to succeed. You have made us two of the most proudest parents in the world. Love, Fahim & Sylvia Knight (parents)
75
To: My granddaughter Fahsyrah whom I love so much; I am proud to be your grandfather and I have found many teachable moments to share parts of my life with you over the years. I think you know that I have always preached the importance of education and my motto to you and all my grandchildren was to score 80% and above in the classroom. You just did not know how my heart lit up each time you would show me your report card and it indicated that you had made the honor roll. I have always desired the best for you and I have always preached the benefit of being a hard worker and you may have at times tried to write granddaddy wisdom off as being mere old school. But I have always appreciated your willingness to listen and to accept the advice that I may been imparting. My vision have always been to see you complete college and venture into a meaningful career. Lastly, you know how much granddaddy loved North Carolina Central University (wink-wink). Love James N. Ballentine (Granddaddy) RIP
Congratulations Fahsyrah Knight

Fahsyrah Kumasi Knight
To Our beautiful daughter Fahsyrah Kumasi Knight, we congratulate you for taking this journey as one of the Jabberwock contestants and we thank you for allowing us as parents to share in the beauty of learning what it means to work together with others and most of all we have watched you evolve (this experience for you have been much bigger than the quest for scholarship money). I think we have provided you with all tools you need to be a successful black woman and by being a good student academically failure is not an option and we pray that you remain humble and selfmotivated. Mom and Dad have giving you your wings to fly. So soar baby and let success be your destiny. Love, Fahim & Sylvia Knight (parents) Khayree (brother)

Fahsyrah Kumasi Knight
To: My granddaughter Fahsyrah Kumasi Knight, I first would like to send my love and support to you as my granddaughter for making the commitment to be a Jabberwock contestant. You know how much grand mom has tried to get you and all my granddaughters to learn sewing, cooking and baking and I guess that was considered old school learning (I will take college as an option). But Fahsyrah I have always admired your wiliness to be respectful and you have always had a way of laughing things off; perhaps the only thing you loved better than grand mom's cooking was that I-phone and I have always had a time trying to pry that away from you. Nevertheless, you have been a model student and your parents have always kept you very busy. Grand mom Annie will always be there for you and I expect nothing but great things from my grand daughter. Fahsyrah continue to make me a proud grandmother. Love, Annie Louise Ballentine (grandmother)
FAHSYRAH KNIGHT To: My granddaughter Fahsyrah Knight from you grandmother Catherine Berrian in Newark, New Jersey. You continue to make me a proud grandmother based on all the good that you do; I have always loved your motivation and drive to remove obstacles in order to move forward and succeed at your goals. You are indeed a gifted black woman--I see you making history one day and I will always be your biggest cheerleader--standing and cheering you on. I do not know much about the Jabberwock contest, but if scholarship money is involved, it must be a good thing. Fahsyrah, grand mom has always had your back and as you continue to mature into young adulthood and adulthood; always remember one of the golden rules, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Love you sweetheart grand mom. Love & Kisses, Catherine Berrian (grand mom)

I first would like to say congratulations and best wishes to you. I had a personal interest in this young lady's success as a Jabberwock contestant because my grandson Ahmad Richardson was her escort and I got on board early by helping them raise money and to use my shop to promote Fahsyrah's efforts. Both her and my grandson are students at Hillside High School and I will do whatever it takes to promote scholarship and academic excellence. So Catering by George stands behind Fahsyah Knight and I will eat to that. I salute both Miss Fahsyrah and my grandson Ahmad who will be in a tuxedo and dancing on stage (love you grandson).

You and I have grown up like inseparable sisters and our relationship have been closer than just cousins. I love to see you shining in different arenas and we have been inspirational to each other; although, I will be graduating in the next couple of months and my journey might land me in college in a different state, but I will never forget all the good memories that we have cherished--the sleepovers, laughs, small talk and I have always felt that I could confide in you. Fahsyrah stay on your path of achievement and remember all the lessons that granddaddy gave us. You are my best friend, cousin and sister; I will never stop loving you. Way to go Fahsyrah. Love, Jameelah Ballentine (Cousin and TEAM FAHSYRAH)

FAHSYRAH KNIGHT (Sandi Smith Professional Services--919.714.2839) send my love and support to you, thus, your parents gave me a charge as being a member of TEAM FAHSYRAH and I took the charge serious because I knew you were serious about competing and winning and I did not mind laboring on your behalf. I knew you before you were able to know yourself and we are family (it is an unbroken bond). My job was constructing the brochures and fliers and whatever correspondences were needed. I had worked on other Jabberwock teams, but I have always had a very special love for your parents in which other teams may have had more resources and money; yet, I love being of service to the underdog. Fahsyrah, I love you girl and remember the race is not to the swift, but to he who can endure to the end. Love,
Sandi Smith (TEAM FAHSYRAH)
