Mary Stewart Prayer Keep us, O God, from pettiness; Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off self-seeking. May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to facewithout self-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. Let us take time for all things: make us to grow calm, serene, gentle. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid. Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences; that in the big things of life we are at one. And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common human heart of us all, and, O Lord God, let us forget not to be kind

STATE OF SORORITY, 2020 Priscilla Murphy
Madam Regional Director, Regional Officers, National Officers, Sorors and Fraters Good morning, again it is an honor to be presenting the 2020 State of the Sorority, during your Regional Conference. It’s been a journey and you should be proud to be a part of this wonderful organization. I bring greetings from the Board of Directors of the 21st Administration. • We would like to welcome our newest members and attendees to the organization. Eta Eta Eta in Las Vegas, NV, Southwest region and Theta Eta Eta in Ottsville, PA, Northeast region. We are glad that you are part of this amazing and professional organization. • This administration is coming into its third-year tenure and we continue to manage the business of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. We continue to have more exciting things to do to bring this wonderful organization forward. While we understand that we will not always be in this leadership ship position, but we do understand is that the, growth of this organization is paramount and will continue as the 21st administration comes to an end. • In light of this, we must be vigilant in reference to choosing our future leaders of this organization. We must choose leaders: o Who are ready to truly lead o Who are innovative? o Who want to continue to grow and find partnerships that will expand our organization. o Who are invested in the organization, not in personal attainment and ego, but tryly understand and want what is best for the success of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Incorporated?
Book of Reports, page 71 - 72. Addition: to add “two scholarship awards recipients were selected.

o It is so important for everyone to believe that we must continue to work on building healthy sisterly and brotherly relationships. The ongoing negativity will destroy this organization if you give it oxygen. o Let’s start with an update from one year ago. We had an amazing 65th Boulé. We were over 500 members in attendance. I want to make sure we all understand that that we had a hand in making this historical numbers. We have not had this high a number of attendees in previous Boulés. We were also excited to receive a number of completed evaluations and will make improvements as needed. However, I must take a moment to comment on some negative energy that was transmitted via social media. I understand that some sorority members placed a negative images and comments regarding part of our team on Facebook. This was hurtful and non-sisterly. This can never happen again; we are better than that. We must weed out the negative energy. If there are issues, we must work on them as a team in private, not out in the open on social media. Everyone in the world can see this not just Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. members and this hurts possible future partnerships. Which are important to our continued growth. Again, it is not about one person, but the entire organization. The bylaws were finally done. Each of you should have received them from your Basileus. Thank you all for moving us forward with final and current bylaws. If you did not send in a current roster, we have no way of knowing how many to send you. This was made into a large ordeal, when it didn’t have to be if we all can communication better. I would like to take a moment to explain some misconceptions surrounding the bylaws. o First and foremost, we started on the bylaws finals in September 2019. o We prepared and added your motions o We sent to attorney for corrections and comments, o We then made the required revisions by the attorney o We then set to printers o We had a mishap, the 8x10 bylaws was reconfigured and then needed another reprint. o Then Mrs. Searles went on vacation to Israel for two weeks, and in the process upon her return, was hospitalized for several days.

o Please remember we have no staff at Headquarters, and this will be corrected in the next few months as we continue to grow. o I just felt all of this needed to be explained so everyone was on the same page and we were transparent. Parliamentarians: Within the chapters there are qualified parliamentarians and these parliamentarians must be able to present during their designated Regional meetings. The National committee cannot financially be responsible for these services. The previous administration’s set precedence and the CEP National Parliamentarians was primarily used to provide parliamentary services for our national events. For these events National paid the required parliamentarian expenses, as appropriate. As Supreme Basileus, I shall continue that process, with ONE exception during this cycle of regional meetings, and that is with the SWR. They are in need of parliamentary consultation and guidance as they prepared for their Annual Regional Conference. I am requesting that all chapters, review the protocol for memorial service and plenary during their monthly meeting. In order to avoid the confusion, we should be reviewing protocol during every meeting. I have a few examples of items we cannot do as members of our sorority. o We do not wear flip flops during plenary. o We do not attempt to push pass the Philacter to get into memorial services once it has started. A reminder that each chapter within the organization must have their board members bonded/liability insurance. This means purchasing liability insurance for your board members. Please make this a budget line item as you continue to move forward. Life membership is closed, we now have eleven new life members within Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. All members will be acknowledged during Boulé 2021. The new brochures and FACT sheet has been developed by the committee. The committee members were Sorors, Karen Rabb, Middlesouth Regional Director, Margaret Pannell, Middlewest Regional Director, Nadirah Keith, National Beta Sponsor and the Public Relation company, The voice of the customer. They can be purchased through Headquarters. We now have a logo added to enhance visibility and marketing. The turtle on the website is our new logo, with our Motto. This does not replace emblem but gets the

word out about our logo. It has been disseminated to the Regional Director to circulate to the chapters. Did you know, we can provide CE’s for other organizations, using our ANCC contract. There is a fee, the fee cost is listed on the website. This will generate additional income for the organization. So, going forth, we all can help grow this service, by informing other agencies, to use Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Incorporated credentialed service. First Supreme Anti-Basileus: The survey monkey has had some problems. The emails and calls have been heard to better improve this tool. Soror Angela Jourdain, the Technology Chair will be managing this as we move forward. You will be able to see your information and print your reports. We have removed the PDF version so you can log your information. Please allow a few weeks to adjust and communicate any concerns to your Assistant Regional Director so they can report to Soror Hamilton and myself. Second Supreme Anti-Basileus: a webinar was provided on February 27, 2020 on our partnership with March of Dimes. Soror Gwendolyn Johnson, Alpha chapter is taking the lead and assisting us to get more credit and education regarding the March of Dimes. We need to capture the dollars we provide and the walks we participate in. We need to educate our communities regarding the services under the March of Dimes. More information to follow. The National Dean of Membership have been busy. This year we have had a quarter of our chapters complete Fall intake. Our stats for the Fall line was as follows: 153 new graduate members and 87 new undergraduate members. The Dean of Membership has completed the revision of the MSIC booklet along with a PowerPoints for informational session. This will allow for consistency of information and professionalism when providing your informational. The board of directors will be looking at pro-rating Fall intake dues. Under the current practice the Fall lines gets two years without paying dues. This is a lost to the organization of $20,000.00 per intake. We need to revisit this as something to revise in the near future. The National Beta Sponsor have initiated visiting Beta chapters and attending their meetings. This will allow us to assist our Betas into transferring into graduate chapters and growing the Beta chapters. The National Beta Sponsor has met with the chapter Beta Sponsors in educating them regarding roles and hazing. We have paid
54
for our Beta sponsors to become certified in Hazing Guidelines across campuses. This is an online course and we were able to pay for 30 Beta Sponsors with Beta chapters to take this class. The online fee was $700.00. A small fee to avoid getting sued for non-compliance. More to come out in reference to Chi days, whereby we will across the country be doing the same thing with our colors to enhance our skills and visibility. The team responsible is Soror Nadirah Keith, Dean of Sponsors and Soror Felicia Gibson-Foster. Soror Hamilton will be providing the procedure and the guidance on these initiatives. This is the role of the First Supreme Basileus. • Please reach out and welcome our new Third Supreme Anti-Basileus, Ashleigh Anderson, Lambda Chi Beta Chapter. • The Technology Committee under the leadership of Soror Angela Jourdain, have been instrumental in moving us forward with cyber security information. They have initiated acknowledging those members in different discipline on the site. We are highlighting our Chi family. • The Service letters are listed on the Chi app and under the membership session on the web site. This occurred due to many not receiving the information on the local level. You are responsible to keep up with what’s occurring to stay informed. The chapter Basilei, must make sure they are read in the meetings to assist with information sharing. • Congratulations to Mu Chi Chapter, Stockton CA, Southwest region and Tau Chapter, Hampton VA, Northeast on receiving the Chi Grant in amount of $2000.00 each. Hopefully in the future more chapters will apply. • The Chaplains Canopy: Under this administration the National Chaplain has been meeting with the Regional chaplains educating them about the chaplain’s role, at local level and during regionals. In the past each region, memorial services and inspirational breakfast are vastly different in each region. The Regional chaplains should be meeting with chaplains on a local level. A format for reporting deaths must be made clear. No member is inactive, so please remember death with dignity. All Supremes will be acknowledged at each region, because the Supreme was Supreme to all regions. Partnerships: Partnerships are expanding and we need to continue to build partners with a similar mission, vision and value as the organization.

This year an app will be launched on March 2, 2020, also that will allow teams to upload checks and take credit card payments from donors. • Soror Alecia Guy, Tau Chi Chapter attended a weeklong conference with the National Coalition of Black Meeting Professionals, in Hyatt New Orleans on the role of and tools for a Meeting Planner. The sponsor was St. Jude. This was due to partnership. • Soror Felicia Foster- Gibson, National Dean of Membership was selected to be on the panel, sponsored by the Epilepsy Foundation for the work her chapter presented on Epilepsy. • Again, we sent five members to attend the delegate assembly for the NCNW in Washington, DC. • We have an MOU with the NAACP and the signing of the document was done at the grand meeting in New York. • We have sent the required documents to the American Nurses Association to become an affiliate. We await their vote to be recognize as an affiliate. This means two members with ANA membership will be able to attend the meeting in Washington, DC in June and have voting privileges. We will be asking two members to attend to represent the organization along with our lead person, Soror Bonita Ball, Theta Chapter. The fee to be an affiliate is $5000.00. Infrastructure • The board voted on and will implement a nepotism policy. This will ensure the fairness within the organization and prevent conflict of interest moving forward. Also, we have revised the personnel manual for Headquarters, last revision was in 2008. I want to thank Soror Linda Tellison for completing this task. We will

communicate in the Service letter when you can download the new policy from the web site and place in Operation Manual. The committee to interview a prospective candidate for Executive Director have completed their task. We will be using a company to vet all candidates and hope to have the hired by June 2020. The committee members are Sorors JoAnne WestSims, Carolyn Mosley, Pearl Holland, Karen Rabb and Mrs. Searles. The position has been sent to a recruiter company to vet and send appropriate candidates. Interviews will start shortly and hire date is by June 1, 2020.
Sorority House • We are now in phase two of the Sorority House. I have met with the designers regarding the donor tree to be placed on the brick wall within the house. It is named the Chi Family Tree with donations from members, family and friends. Again, platinum is $1000.00, gold $500.00, green or yellow leaf $250.00. All donations can be deducted as we are a 501c3 and the funds will go into the house account. • We are working on being exempt from paying property taxes since we are a 501c3. Soror Ruth Richardson, Property Manager and Soror Fayrene Tolbert are working on this matter. This will save the organization $30,000.00 per year and elimination of property taxes on Headquarters. • We are anticipating an open house in August 2020. We continue to work on our invitation list, and with others to roll this out. • We had been experiencing difficulty with our internet at headquarters, over the past nine years we had Verizon and the cable was located in three neighboring homes yards, the company was unable to get into those yards to assist us in getting our phone lines and internet up and running. This has been an ongoing problem. We have now moved our service to comcast to better assist us in running our business. • The roof has been completed on the Sorority House, last year I informed you that we needed to repair the roof and this was done. The charge to the organization was $18,000.00. • Paraphernalia o We have assessed the feasibility of having paraphernalia at the Regional conferences. Let’s inform you of the practice. § We pay for our tables at each regional, costing around 300.00 to 400.00 per table and we need two tables. 57

Then as past practice under the previous administration the members manning the tables received $500.00 each of manning the table. Under this administration we paid $150.00-250.00. Then we had to ship the items which range from $500.00 to 800.00.00 or shipping and returning unsold items. This meant we are taking a lost. This will not sustain us. So, going forth we will have materials during the Leadership Summit and Boulé. Until we can get the online ordering in place. Certified and approved vendors are o All Sewn Up o FS Cowan o Northeast Region Chi Eta Phi Education Foundation o We have met with the members of their Board and had many questions. We voted during Boulé to lend the foundation $50,000.00. They are to provide a clear budget and receipts of all activities. We have decided to provide monies in quarters to ensure the monies are providing us a return on our investment. $15,000.00 has be submitted in over the next few months, we will meet to follow what has occurred with those dollars, before dispensing more funds. The monies will start being paid back in July 1, 2023 in increments of $10,000.00 over five years. The Card Machine: The card machine was sent out for repairs and because the contract did not have a loaner clause, we needed to pay $1700.00 to get a loaner. We sent out for repair but have not received. We are looking into another company to work on resolving this issue. (The machine has now been returned as of March 30, 2020 and we are in the process of getting those cards out to you) Leadership Summit o The registration for the summit has started. The dates are June 26-27, 2020 in Memphis, TN. The support chapters are Alpha Chi, Chi Chi Chi, and Upsilon Chi. The theme for the reception is “Rolling Down the River” 1980 Tina Turner. So come ready to roll down the river with the 21st administration. It is being held at the Guest House at Graceland, Memphis TN We have invested companies to complete backgrounds checks on the Tamias and Tamiochus as we move forward. We can no longer not invest with the amount of
58
finances we have. Those running from the floor will be vetted to make sure the organization remains viable. This is just a safety net for all companies with our kind of assets.
