We started by having our Annual Chapter Retreat at Hotel
Indigo on Saturday, January 12, 2013 in downtown College Park. Hotel Indigo is
a new hotel in downtown College Park, which is in an area that we service. What
better way to welcome a new establishment in our neighborhood than to welcome
them in true Zeta style! Our retreat was a stay-cation allowing Sorors the
option to stay overnight or to stay during the day activities. To celebrate our
Founders' Day, we played trivia games about our illustrious organization and
participated in a Founders' Day gift exchange. We also included fun sisterly
bonding activities throughout the afternoon that trickled into the evening. We
concluded with a wonderful breakfast in the restaurant on a gorgeous Sunday
morning!
On Founders' Day, we started our day with service with our
Z-HOPE Women partner, Gilgal, Inc.
Gilgal, Inc is a Christian based Women's Drug and Alcohol Recovery
center in East Point. This facility is owned by a Soror and we have partnered
with her since 2011. This year we were asked to donate paper products and we
delivered on our commitment! We donated over $150 in paper products which is
equal to over a month of useful items! Gilgal, Inc was very appreciative of our
efforts, especially on Founders' Day. We spent the rest of our day celebrating
with our undergraduates at Clark Atlanta University, Psi Chapter. Psi Chapter
hosted a wonderful Founders' Day mixer in the CAU Art Gallery. This mixer was
in conjunction with our brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc, Psi Chapter
at Clark Atlanta University. This was a
wonderful end to an amazing celebration of 93 years of our principles at work!
