Alpha Mu Zeta—Little Rock, AR Synergy The common vision for the members of Alpha Mu Zeta Chapter is to contribute and have a positive impact within our community. We believe that by investing in the community we can help create an improved environment for everyone. We work hard, think creatively, cooperate freely and act with integrity. We have learned to look beyond the obvious and see insightfully to be successful in our endeavors. The chapter members have learned that working together is the key to having a successful chapter. When the chapter works together it works more efficiently. More things can get done faster when working together. As you read about this chapter you will read about the ‘Synergy’ that exists amongst the members. Synergy is defined as the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual.

Feeding the Homeless Alpha Mu Zeta teamed with the board of directors of the Sickle Cell Foundation to feed the homeless for Thanksgiving. The Black Chef’s Association prepared all of the food and sorors along with their family members served the homeless. Donations of Coats, Scarves and gloves were available also. For people who ate at the shelter entertainment was provided. Sack lunches were provided for people who did not want to stay and eat.

Race for the Cure Several members of Alpha Mu Zeta Chapter participate in the Komen Race for the cure along with over 30,000 other women in downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock, Arkansas. We also participated in other events that were designed to promote positive awareness, education and early detection of breast cancer.

Thanksgiving Baskets The members of Alpha Mu Zeta supplied goods to make baskets for two needy families. The baskets contained a full course meal with both a turkey and a ham for the families.

Alpha Mu Zeta—Little Rock, AR Zeta – Sigma Christmas Party Each year the chapter participates in a joint Christmas Party with the chapters in Central Arkansas. To enter the party everyone is encouraged to purchase a toy to be donated ‘Toys for Tots’. This year a monetary donation was given to the Watershed Human and Community Development Agency Inc. Watershed is a non-profit organization that gives assistance to people/families that are less fortunate and need assistance.

Arkansas State Leadership Conference Two Alpha Mu Zeta chapter members attended the Arkansas Leadership Conference in March. In addition to taking care of business, by attending the conference the sorors heard how to inspire, influence, and innovate Zetas to greatness by joining in discussions on talent and leadership strategies to recruit top people, and gained insight on how to take the chapter to the next level of Zetadom. At the conference the chapter donated to the Back-Packs for the Homeless program. This program supplies students who are displaced from their homes with school supplies and snacks for students at times when other resources are not available.

Getting ‘Fit for Life” Because African American women have a great risk of Heart Disease, Alpha Mu Zeta has teamed with the Carousel Fit for Life Wellness center to combat heart disease. The center offers wellness seminars, health fairs, and physical activity which are crucial for good health, including heart health. This partnership has resulted in Sorors attending the fitness center, participating in and sponsoring workshops on wellness, participating in a walk club and joining the million pound weight loss plan.

Walks Alpha Mu Zeta Sorors participated in and donated funds to the American Diabetes Association Walk. They also walked in the March of Dimes Walk America. Sorors also participated in Little Rock in the Little Rock 25 Mile Marathon.

Eta Sigma Zeta—North Little Rock, AR

The ladies of Eta Sigma Zeta have had a very busy sorority year. We ended the 2009/2010 year serving as host for the well-attended, well-planned and wonderful 81st Regional Conference in Little Rock, AR. We had barely caught our breath, when our leadership team under the direction of our new Basileus, Kathy Tatum, hosted our annual summer Zeta Round-Up. The Hawaiian Luau theme attracted many of our sorors, whose zeta light had been a little dim the past year. In September we hit the ground running helping our undergrad chapter – Gamma Eta of the Univ. of Central Arkansas in Conway, plan their 35th anniversary celebration. In October along with our youth and amicae we completed several ZHOPE projects: Z Pack It Up (donated backpacks filled with school supplies to a local elementary school), Personal hygiene kits donated to Arkansas Children’s Hospital, and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. During the winter, we did not let the cold weather deter us; we kept the Zeta flame burning brightly: we participated in Prematurity Awareness Sunday, several sorors attended the State sponsored Zeta Academy, this is an embellishment/training day, for the sorors of Arkansas, and our reigning Miss Blue Revue along with our amicae and youth were participants in the NLR Annual Christmas Parade. Our annual Christmas fellowship with our brothers of Phi Beta Sigma once again allowed us to strengthen our bond. In the true spirit of the season we donated along with our Sigma brothers toys to the Watershed Organization. Not only did we donate our finances, we also gave of our time and energy by volunteering to help in the shelter packing food boxes for those families who were in need.

Spring has sprung and the sorors have laced up their blue sneakers for the Relay for Life, the March of Dimes March for Babies and the American Heart Association Walkathon. Several sorors along with our amicae traveled to Pine Bluff for our annual State Leadership Conference. We donated two backpacks filled with personal hygiene items that were to be given to a local organization that work with the homeless, this project was the State’s ZHOPE initiative. As this sorority year comes to an end, we will close as always on a high note with our annual Miss Blue Revue Scholarship Pageant. This year we have six beautiful and intelligent young ladies vying for the coveted title of Miss Blue Revue 2010. As the curtains close on the pageant, the sorors will begin making plans for the 2011 Regional Conference and preparing for another year to try and make their community a better place.

Sorors at Greer Chapel AME Church for the start of Finer Womanhood Month. We began by having Sisterhood Sunday at Greer Chapel AME Church. Sorors were able to come and worship together and start the month off on a spiritual note. But we had to make sure that we were working out more than just our spirit. This year we instituted Work it Out Wednesdays (W.O.W). Each Wednesday Sorors met up at a local mall to walk around to get some physical activity. It was a great opportunity to work out, fellowship, and also get Zeta out in the public. One week, the Alpha Eta Zeta- DOVE Foundation partnered with a local organization that is raising awareness for Domestic Violence. Instead of walking on Wednesday, everyone got together on a Saturday morning and collected items that could be used in shelters. We also committed to continuing to support their monthly walks at the Oak Court Mall.

Rho Gamma—University of Memphis During the academic school year of 2010-2011, the Resplendent Rho Gamma productively accomplished an outstanding Interest Week entitled Yard Reconstruction: 1920 from September 12, 2010 to September 18, 201 in the fall. Events of community service during the week consisted of “Helping Build Mindz” tutoring at the Boys and Girls Club, “FISHER PRICE” March of Dimes table for donations (in which we raised $81.82), “Regulations” Friends for Life H.I.V. Awareness Center, and “PURR-fect PURPOSE” Sickle Cell Walk. During the Spring, our week was entitled, “Rho Gamma Blu Friday, The Phi-nezt Album Release Week” from March 20-26th. We held a March of Dimes table, where donations were collected, and those donations will be matched dollar for dollar by our chapter. Community service wise, we tutored at the Boys and Girls Club. The Resplendent Rho Gamma Chapter is proud to recognize all of the accomplishments during this academic year. Soror Jasmine Johnson became the Undergraduate Member-at-Large for the South Central region. We competed in our first NPHC step show at the University of Memphis and won 1st place in the sorority division. At State Conference, Soror Jasmine Rayner was installed as the Undergraduate Member-at-Large for the state of Tennessee. Soror Leslie Rimmer was placed 1st runner up at the Miss Zeta TN pageant. Rho Gamma participated in a stroll off competition on December 3rd and won 1st place. We are proud to announce the 2011-2012 Judge Bernice B. Donald Scholarship recipient was Audrey Ibezim. She is a junior majoring Criminal Justice with a 3.41 GPA. At last, we celebrated our Soror Judge Bernice B. Donald for receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award during Black History Month. It was a spectacular event to see our own being recognized for her achievements.

Throughout the year, Rho Gamma participated in the Fall Festival at Orange Mound Community Center. We contributed gifts to Adopt -A-Family and Angel Tree. We partnered with Aeropostale and collected over 20 pair of jeans and donated them to the homeless shelter. During our last meeting, we adopted Boys and Girls Club, in which, we will be dedicated to visit the facility once a month.


Sigma Chi Zeta—Murfreesboro, TN The Sigma Chi Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated in Murfreesboro, TN has had an exciting 2010-2011 sororal year! We are so proud to represent Tennessee and the South Central Region in all we do. Last September, we supported the 2011 Walk for Lupus Now event at Centennial Park to raise awareness of Lupus Disease. Our chapter members assist the Lupus Disease Foundation in planning and implementation of this event and the organization often calls on us to support their efforts. The following month, Sigma Chi Zeta sorors attended the Tennessee State Leadership Conference in Jackson where we have two chapter sorors who serve on state level positions. We were able to return home with a renewed freshness of what we can do to continue to make Zeta light in our community. Each November, we support the sorority’s prematurity awareness initiative for March of Dimes and collected loose change to donate to CoinStar. We sent press releases to our local papers as well as held informational presentations in our religious institution & church bulletins. Our chapter has been so blessed this year. It was laid on our hearts to gather food items in a Thanksgiving basket to present to a family in need. Our Sorors gathered in unison for fun and fellowship in our annual Christmas party & gift exchange. It’s all for a cause though, because while we enjoyed one another - we wrapped clothing and gifts for a mother and her children that we adopted during the season. Earlier that day, we volunteered at Toys for Tots and distributed toys and assisted with escorting parents and registration inquiries. Our chapter created the vision and partnered in the inaugural Middle Tennessee Founders’ Day Celebration held at the Smyrna Town Center. We fellowshipped over brunch with over 100 sorors who wore their Sunday’s best, received a great word from the speaker and honored our Five Pearls. The Finer Women of Rutherford County Awards Banquet was a great success. We honored 3 deserving women who are selected as unsung heroines in the Murfreesboro Community. The guest speaker touched our hearts & we enjoyed supporting these ladies for the work they do each day. Soror Brandi Osborne, Basileus, was awarded Zeta of the Year.

Sigma Chi Zeta—Murfreesboro, TN We learned tons of information on the physical and emotional effects of stress during our Stress in the Workplace Seminar held at Patterson Community Center. Our sorors who are professionals in health and human resources chimed in and shared their expertise on the matter. During the Shannon Martin Memorial Scholarship Soul Food Cookoff & Silent Auction, we had a wonderful turnout to honor our fallen dove Shannon, who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident. Several attendees in the community submitted food items for the judges to score. After an inspiring word from the guest speaker, we fellowshipped over the refreshments. Above all, we were able to award Shannon’s son Rian, & another deserving student, the scholarship funds we were able to raise. The attendees bidded on items in the silent auction and we awarded prizes to the top cooks in each category. We had a great attendance in the March of Dimes Walk America event in May. This a time we can all come together, lace up our shoes to walk and raise awareness of premature births. This event is extremely special to our chapter as two of our own members were affected by the effects of premature births. We resolve to do all we can to welcome healthy babies! The Sigma Chi Zeta chapter continues to be a force in the Rutherford County community. Our aim is to enjoy & support each other and to WORK HARD but SERVE HARDER!
