Greetings: Greetings: Welcome to Eta Chi Omega’s 28th Winter Cotillion - “Becoming: An Evolution into Womanhood.” We are delighted to present nineteen young ladies all of whom exude poise, pride and intelligence. Our cotillion program is designed to nurture these young ladies as they prepare for womanhood, leadership and service. This year marks the 112th year anniversary of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®. Since our inception, we have provided programs of service locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. We are extremely proud to continue to serve our community through our international programming. Our International President, Dr. Glenda Glover, has created a bold program of service that our local chapter eagerly promotes. The program theme “Exemplifying Excellence Through Sustainable Service” challenges us to make an impact through service in the following areas: HBCU for Life: A Call to Action focuses on education and sustainability of historically black colleges and universities by increasing applications and enrollment; Women’s Healthcare and Wellness raises awareness of health issues affecting women particularly African American women; Building Your Economic Legacy is designed to educate the community on financial planning and wealth building; The Arts! focuses on the performing arts and showcase local talent; Global Impact is designed to identify and assist those in need through national and international programs; #CAP SM– the Signature Program - is designed to assist students in the college application process thereby increasing college admissions. We invite you to look for us during of our Community Impact Days for 2020: • Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. International Day of Service (January) • Pink Goes Red for Heart Health Day (February) • AKA Global Impact Day Observance (April ) • AKA International Day of Prayer Observance (August) • AKA HBCU Day Observance (September) • Breast Cancer Awareness Day (October) • AKA Caregivers’ Day Observance (November) On behalf of Eta Chi Omega Chapter, thank you parents for entrusting your daughters with us and thank you - the community - for your continued support. Tonight, we present to you our 2020 Debutantes. Join us as we celebrate and congratulate each of them on their journey to “Becoming: An Evolution into Womanhood.”

Greetings! We are elated to welcome you to the 28th Annual Debutante Winter Cotillion. This evening we will present nineteen talented young women in Becoming: An Evolution into Womanhood. We endeavor to emphasize and highlight the debutante’s many accomplishments and achievements with positive examples of womanhood to enhance their development. The purpose of the Winter Cotillion Program is to broaden debutante’s perspective educationally, socially, and culturally. The Debutante Program trains the next generation of community leaders who desire to transcend all boundaries. The evolution for this year’s debutantes began in August of 2019, with numerous social and educational activities. Through these activities, the young ladies became a united team with the goal of evolving into womanhood. The events that led to this evening included a retreat, business, and social etiquette workshops, tours of historically black colleges and universities, and a Women’s Empowerment Hat Luncheon, which were in keeping with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc®.’s program targets. Excellence is exemplified in the biographies of these beautiful young women who excel in academics, athletics, and community involvement. Each debutante now has the skills necessary to create change within their community and excel in their post-secondary journey. We give the parents and guardians of the debutantes our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for allowing your daughter to accept the invitation to join the Winter Cotillion Program. Heartfelt thanks are also given to the Winter Cotillion Committee members and the members of Eta Chi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.®’s for your generous support throughout the debutante season.
