Chi Eta Omega Chapter 2012 and 2014 Ethel Award Winner, Overall Programming MESSAGE FROM THE BASILEUS SEPTEMBER 2014 Nothing can stop God’s Plan for your life. Isaiah 14:27 Dear Sorors, As we come back together to conduct the business of Alpha Kappa Alpha, let us be resolved in our spirits that God has called US together for such a time as this to do the work He has called us to do. He continues to bless each of us and the work that we are doing. It is nothing short of amazing that our chapter has won for two consecutive Boule’s the sorority’s highest award for programming. Not only have we been honored for outstanding service in our region but internationally – competing with chapters who are double in our size and triple in resource. I believe that it is because we have answered the call to notice those in need and made authentic efforts to make those lives better is why our service is supreme. I will be forever grateful that God gave me the opportunity to lead and serve in this chapter and I thank you for supporting the programs and activities of the chapter in such a meaningful way. Although the awards and recognition are wonderful, Chi Eta Omega only really competes with itself – to do more than what we’ve done before and to compete with poverty, domestic violence, breast cancer, heart disease, asthma, and all of the societal ills that negatively impact communities. As we welcome our new Supreme Basileus, Soror Dorothy Buchanan, let’s get excited about our new program targets! Launching New Dimensions of Service fits well with Chi Eta Omega’s mission. We are always striving to meet new needs in different ways that are more impactful. Chi Eta Omega will be participating in the Pre-Launch of these targets this fall: Educational Enrichment, Family Strengthening, Environmental Ownership, and Global Impact. Health and ASCEND will officially kick off in January 2015. Please review the program brochure for more detail information about the new program and the Impact Days. Please sign up for your new committee by Friday, September 12, 2014 The Pinky sign and Skee Wee call have been restored! Wait for it….for undergraduates only. Let’s be super excited that our undergraduates can again legally enjoy these long standing traditions of our sorority. Many sorors have experienced illnesses and bereavement in their families. We know that prayer works, so please let us know when you are experiencing any type of challenge in your life so that we can lift up your situation. Congratulations to Theta Mu for shining so bright at the Undergraduate Round Up! Soror Phillis
