initiated
During my tenure as State Director we have already achieved several
major goals We have chartered a new chapter in the county of Forsyth
Psi Rho Zeta Welcome to the Sorors of this chapter along with the two new youth groups of Americus The Sorors of Georgia came together and contributed heavily to several national signature sorority initiatives includ-
ing Z-HOPE Storkrsquos Nest March of Dimes and the American Cancer Society We also played a major role in

the ideals of Zeta the Sigma Omega Zeta Chapter has taken on some big
tasks and completed them success-
fully while never failing to exhibit finer womanhood
In 2010 the sisters of Sigma Omega Zeta stepped up to the challenge of
amending the chapterrsquos constitution
―I donrsquot think any of us were pre-
pared for how challenging amending the chapter bylaws and constitution
would be says chapter president
Soror Andrea Thomas ―We worked hard and diligently and now we have
a constitution that truly meets the
standards of the sorority
The sisters began editing the consti-
tution during a chapter meeting with
Secretary Tanea McKee working hard to put all suggestions into a
workable format for discussion and
vote Amending the constitution proved such a challenge that the la-
dies tabled the project until the chap-
ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain
―We are very proud of our new con-
stitution says Soror Thomas
The Sorors of Sigma Omega Zeta are
making great strides in service Z-
Hope Coordinator Soror Alina Tillery works tirelessly to locate vol-
unteer opportunities and make sure

a constitution that truly meets the
standards of the sorority

tution during a chapter meeting with

workable format for discussion and
vote Amending the constitution proved such a challenge that the la-

ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain

stitution says Soror Thomas

needs of the community the chapter
decided that developing community partnerships that focused on provi-
sions for kids would be the focus for
this year Zeta Phi Beta partnered with the Clarke County Teen Matters
clinic to hostchaperone home foot-
ball games for the Cedar Shoals Jag-uars These afterschool activities
gave students a structured social en-
vironment to hang out with their
friends as well as the opportunity to
receive literature about health related teen issues In addition the chapter
members volunteered at Barnett
Shoals Elementary school during
their annual BSE Fall Festival The sisterhood assisted with the set up as
well as supervised various games
and activities Most recently Phi Chi Zeta has decided to assist in pro-
viding necessary food items to chil-
dren in the Clarke County commu-nity The Junior League of Athens
partnered with the Clarke County
School District support Food to
Kids Food to Kids is a program that
provides needy children with neces-sary food items for the weekend

son Phi Chi Zeta also donated Christmas toys to children who re-
ceived housing services at the area

pared for how challenging amending the chapter bylaws and constitution
would be says chapter president

a constitution that truly meets the
standards of the sorority
The sisters began editing the consti-
tution during a chapter meeting with
Secretary Tanea McKee working hard to put all suggestions into a
workable format for discussion and
vote Amending the constitution proved such a challenge that the la-
dies tabled the project until the chap-
ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain
―We are very proud of our new con-
stitution says Soror Thomas

a few gathered in the name of Zeta
for big things to happen Embracing
the ideals of Zeta the Sigma Omega Zeta Chapter has taken on some big
tasks and completed them success-
fully while never failing to exhibit finer womanhood
In 2010 the sisters of Sigma Omega Zeta stepped up to the challenge of
amending the chapterrsquos constitution
―I donrsquot think any of us were pre-
pared for how challenging amending the chapter bylaws and constitution
would be says chapter president
Soror Andrea Thomas ―We worked hard and diligently and now we have
a constitution that truly meets the
standards of the sorority
The sisters began editing the consti-
tution during a chapter meeting with
Secretary Tanea McKee working hard to put all suggestions into a
workable format for discussion and
vote Amending the constitution proved such a challenge that the la-
dies tabled the project until the chap-
ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain
―We are very proud of our new con-
stitution says Soror Thomas
The Sorors of Sigma Omega Zeta are
making great strides in service Z-
Hope Coordinator Soror Alina Tillery works tirelessly to locate vol-
unteer opportunities and make sure

ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain

stitution says Soror Thomas

In 2010 the sisters of Sigma Omega Zeta stepped up to the challenge of

pared for how challenging amending the chapter bylaws and constitution
would be says chapter president

a constitution that truly meets the
standards of the sorority
The sisters began editing the consti-
tution during a chapter meeting with
Secretary Tanea McKee working hard to put all suggestions into a
workable format for discussion and
vote Amending the constitution proved such a challenge that the la-
dies tabled the project until the chap-
ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain
―We are very proud of our new con-
stitution says Soror Thomas

tion and their efforts were not in
vain

stitution says Soror Thomas

tion and their efforts were not in
vain

stitution says Soror Thomas

a few gathered in the name of Zeta
for big things to happen Embracing
the ideals of Zeta the Sigma Omega Zeta Chapter has taken on some big
tasks and completed them success-
fully while never failing to exhibit finer womanhood
In 2010 the sisters of Sigma Omega Zeta stepped up to the challenge of
amending the chapterrsquos constitution
―I donrsquot think any of us were pre-
pared for how challenging amending the chapter bylaws and constitution
would be says chapter president
Soror Andrea Thomas ―We worked hard and diligently and now we have
a constitution that truly meets the
standards of the sorority
The sisters began editing the consti-
tution during a chapter meeting with
Secretary Tanea McKee working hard to put all suggestions into a
workable format for discussion and
vote Amending the constitution proved such a challenge that the la-
dies tabled the project until the chap-
ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain
―We are very proud of our new con-
stitution says Soror Thomas
The Sorors of Sigma Omega Zeta are
making great strides in service Z-
Hope Coordinator Soror Alina Tillery works tirelessly to locate vol-
unteer opportunities and make sure

a constitution that truly meets the
standards of the sorority
The sisters began editing the consti-
tution during a chapter meeting with
Secretary Tanea McKee working hard to put all suggestions into a
workable format for discussion and
vote Amending the constitution proved such a challenge that the la-
dies tabled the project until the chap-
ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain
―We are very proud of our new con-
stitution says Soror Thomas

This chapter is small in number but its members are proving it only takes
a few gathered in the name of Zeta
for big things to happen Embracing
the ideals of Zeta the Sigma Omega Zeta Chapter has taken on some big
tasks and completed them success-
fully while never failing to exhibit finer womanhood
In 2010 the sisters of Sigma Omega Zeta stepped up to the challenge of
amending the chapterrsquos constitution
―I donrsquot think any of us were pre-
pared for how challenging amending the chapter bylaws and constitution
would be says chapter president
Soror Andrea Thomas ―We worked hard and diligently and now we have
a constitution that truly meets the
standards of the sorority
The sisters began editing the consti-
tution during a chapter meeting with
Secretary Tanea McKee working hard to put all suggestions into a
workable format for discussion and
vote Amending the constitution proved such a challenge that the la-
dies tabled the project until the chap-
ter retreat The Sorors spent most of the retreat on amending the constitu-
tion and their efforts were not in
vain
―We are very proud of our new con-
stitution says Soror Thomas
The Sorors of Sigma Omega Zeta are
making great strides in service Z-
Hope Coordinator Soror Alina Tillery works tirelessly to locate vol-
unteer opportunities and make sure
the chapter stays abreast of service
opportunities The chapter currently provides ongoing service and support
to Calgary Refuge Center in the form
of meals Other service activities in-clude
Making regular donations of
used clothing and toys to the South Atlanta Marketplace
