These five pearls were Arizona Cleavor Stemons, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings, Fannie Pettie Watts and Pearl Anna Neal.
Now deceased, these five ladies have paved the way for young women like myself to make a difference in the community and have an impact on the youth as well as have a serious impact on my life.
My chapter, Omega Lambda Zeta, co-hosted my very first Founder's Day dinner with our brother Fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. For weeks we've been planning; what kind of decorations to get, what the cake will look like, what venue will it be held, etc. Even though it was stressful at times, it was all worth it in the end.
All day I looked forward to the night's activities. I arrived at Blue Prynt located in Downtown Sacramento to decorate. As I began decorating, more Sorors and Frat showed up to help and have a good time. I met Frat from Davis, Calif. and those who have came into the organizations before me. I also met two State officers of Zeta.
As we began to hear from the eldest and youngest Soror and Brother, state officials and more, I couldn't help but look around the room and see the camaraderie. All these fellow brothers and sisters are constitutionally bound by our Founders. Not only that but we are truly a Blue and White Family.
Not to disrespect any of the other Divine 9 Greeks, but I think our Founder's knew the importance of family and how important a brother and sister relationship is. We're much more than brothers and sisters. Our Founders knew how important a relationship between a man and a woman is; how love can conquer all, and how the equal balance of having a female perspective and a male perspective is important in ones life.
Attending my very first Founder's Day shined a new light into my Zeta life. I hope to continue to pass this light onto other Sorors and Frat and others in the community who may not know about us and our cause.
Happy 93rd Anniversary Sorors and Happy 99th Anniversary Frat! #BlueandWhiteUntilTheDayIDie
