Greetings Sorors,
It has been a honor and privilege to serve as your Basileus for the past two years. This
journey began at my first meeting when I talked about what I would take from each
Basileus that came before me, I talked about my vision, our values, the mission we
would take and lastly, I told you what my charge would be. I knew coming in “The
Dream was Easy, but The Journey Would Not Be” and that before I could blink an
eye, all the good times and bad would be behind me. Nevertheless, when I got to this
position two years ago, I never imagined how connected I would be to such a warm,
loving and caring chapter. We have overcome so many trail’s and tribulations and as a
result we are a bigger and better chapter equipped, ready, prepared and headed for
new and greater heights in the New Year. I am excited and will be forever grateful for
the experience I have enjoyed over the past two years. Some people judge their lives
on what they do, others on who they are. I want my life judged on the friends I keep,
and how enriched I am from just knowing each of you.
Lastly, to see all of you seated before me on December 14, 2013, for the last time, was
a picture I will treasure for a very long time. To my administrative team, officers and
committee chairmen, we could not have succeeded as a chapter without you. Thank
you from the bottom of my heart. You exceeded my expectations and there is over-
whelming evidence of our hard work as a team. Thank you for all of your hard work
and for supporting me as your Basileus during 2012-2013. Congratulations Soror Jan
and Soror Barbara you are a Dynamic Duo and to all new incoming officers. Hats off
to you for taking on the challenge to serve in a leadership role. May you all have a
productive and successful year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Soror Joyce L. Nelson, Basileus 2012-2013

Soror Joyce Nelson acknowledged each group of sorors who she uniquely named according to how they supported her during her
term as Basileus. Superwoman and Wonder Woman, don’t run an organization without them, Golden Girls are needed for
wisdom, keep them close, Sincere Appreciation, do it just because, This is a serious matter and Serious Sorors are needed, Every
group needs someone to mix things up and that’s why you have mixers, As you prepare to move forward you need H.O.P.E.
because with hope comes joy and last but certainly not least if there is no light how can you see where you are going without
Carriers of Light.
