We are comprised of thirty-two diverse and dynamic members, each of which have upheld the highest standards of excellence through our execution of sorority programs, dedication to serving our community, and the extraordinary example we set for our friends and families. By chartering a new chapter, we are laying the foundation for future generations of empowered women, leaving an enduring legacy of sisterhood and positive impact within our community. It is with this same zeal as we continue Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood.
