On Saturday, October 6, 2012, members of the Rho XI Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and
members of the Kappa Alpha Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity,
Incorporated joined forces to host a voter registration drive at Stonecrest
Mall located in Lithonia, GA.
Prior to the drive, several of the members of both organizations were
trained to answer questions as they related to registering to vote in the state
of Georgia. During the event, both organizations set up tables filled with
voting literature in addition to the voter applications. The general public was
invited to register to vote and/or check their voter registration status
utilizing several computer kiosks that were set to accommodate the needs of
voters. Over 65 individuals were
registered to vote during the event. Countless others took advantage of the
kiosks in order to check their voter’s status. Additionally, several
individuals that did not have the proper information to register were provided
the necessary information to register before the deadline. Overall, the event
was a success and the feedback from the general public was positive.
