In honor of Black History Month, Phi
Omicron Zeta Chapter celebrated it with Newton County High School and Veterans
Memorial Middle School in Covington, Georgia.
At Newton High
School, Phi Omicron Zeta Chapter was part of the NPHC Panel Discussion for the
juniors and seniors. During 1st,
2nd, 3rd and 4th periods Phi Omicron Zeta was
given five minutes each period to present information about their organization
and experience as part of the sorority. After
each session, there was a question and answer with the students. In attendance were
eight hundred juniors and seniors.
Phi Omicron Zeta Chapter had the pleasure of
stepping in Veterans Memorial Middle School's College Awareness Greek Step
Show. There was a brief synopsis of the
history followed by a seven-minute step and two strolls from the Finer Women of
POZ. Other members of The Divine Nine whom were present included: Phi Beta
Sigma, Omega Psi Phi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Phi Alpha and
Sigma Gamma Rho.
The purpose of this step show was to shed some light upon Black History Month
as well as encouraging the students of VMMS to attend college while magnifying
some of the great benefits of continuing your education, such as becoming part
of a sorority or fraternity. The step show was a great success, and
very popular amongst the students. Therefore, administrators have decided to
make this an annual event during the month of February.
