Phi Omicron Zeta Solidifies Partnerships

 In our effort to facilitate community service, Phi Omicron Zeta Chapter has established partnerships with Bethlehem Baptist Church, Newton High School, Mountain View Nursing Center and the Rockdale Medical Center.  

 

Over the summer of 2013, Phi Omicron Zeta volunteered on Divine Nine Day of the Summer Feeding and Enrichment Program, one of the Bethlehem Baptist Church's ministries.  This ministry provides food and classes designed to help nurture Covington’s children during the summer months when food and adult supervision are a scarcity.  Members from seven of the Divine Nine organizations led group meetings, facilitated classroom instruction and prepared and served meals for the program participants.  Soror Kathryn Williams and Soror Alison Jackson facilitated lessons and served lunch for first graders while Soror Evon Mazyck , Soror Eula Hardeman and one of our potential Aspirants worked with the fourth graders.    The pastor of the church, Reverend H.K. Benton, said, “Our program is an expression of compassion to these children who would be unoccupied and unfed. We offer them ways to become better citizens, better community members.”  This summer the program attendance averaged about 150 children a day.  Our chapter’s next event at Bethlehem Church will be Prematurity Awareness.

In the Summer They Retreat

This summer the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Rho Xi Zeta Chapter took the opportunity to execute the words of our International President Mary B Wright “A Good Zeta is a well-informed Zeta”.

The summer began with a retreat for the executive board during which sorors learned techniques to improve our chapter by mastering the skill of delegation.  Delegation helps chapter members stay engaged and take ownership in both the chapter and the sorority as a whole.  During the month of July chapter members visited the wonderful city of Indianapolis to participate in the national Zeta Organizational Leadership (ZOL) training and certification.  At ZOL sorors received a detailed description of their leadership styles, great ideas on branding, and an introduction to the new membership process!

Lastly, the chapter participated in their annual chapter retreat, held in the cabins of north Georgia.  They enjoyed great fellowship, planned the year, and shared the information from ZOL.  Notable during the retreat was river tubing, a wonderful experience that was also a practical application of critical team work skills. 

During the summers most people take off, but the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta sorority, Inc. use it as an opportunity to become better.
