President Igina Perteet has been a member of Zeta since June 7, 2003, as she joined the sisterhood via our Astounding chapter. Since joining the chapter she has served the sorority in several capacities, most recently as chapter President. She is a Mississippi Native and a graduate of Mississippi State University. She currently works for the State of TN as a Family Service Worker dealing with foster care and adoption. Recently, she was asked the following questions:

-What goals have you set for Alpha Eta Zeta chapter for 2011 - 2013? I have several goals I’d like to see become a reality for Alpha Eta Zeta this year: Z-Lessons, an embellishment program will be utilized and put into production with many activities that will be geared to educate and enhance our chapter members.

Increase our membership by a minimum of fifteen new members via membership intake and reclamation. Secure a new home for our chapter’s Storks Nest. Categorize and file chapter documents and historic items throughout the year. Develop a major fundraiser to be executed in 2012-2013 generating a minimum of $10,000 profit. Redevelop our chapter handbook . Raise a minimum of $2,000 in donations for our March of Dimes March for Babies Walk. Increase our Z-HOPE points by a minimum of 30% for 2011 -2013. Participate in initiatives set by our National Body. Design a chapter logo to market AHZ (not to supersede our National shield and Z-HOPE logo)

The success of these initiatives requires the active participation of every Alpha Eta Zeta member. Therefore, I encourage all to participate and utilize the resources of fellow committee members so that no single soror has too heavy a load.

- What additional greetings would you like to bring?

Greetings to my sorors of the hardest working, never tiring, goal oriented, number one Premier chapter in the State of

Tennessee and all of Zeta! It gives me immense pleasure to greet you in the name of sisterly love. Our chapter is about to

take off on another thrill packed year which will be chocked full of community service activities, Auxiliary events, day to

day chapter business and most important coming together as a team and bonding as sisters really should.

New Sorority Year Brings New Executive Board Our new sorority year has brought on new members to our executive board. These remarkable and diverse women have received their charge to lead and are ready to propel this beloved chapter into bigger and better horizons. This elec-tion also brought newly initiated sorors into the leadership forefront. These first time leaders have been installed in five positions; each of them express their excitement to serve and readiness to face chal-lenges along the way. The newly installed officers are seeking support and encouragement as they work diligently to ensure the continued success of Alpha Eta Zeta.

Prolific: Characterized by abundant production…. And what a production this year has been!! The ladies of Pi Alpha were very excited about this up-coming year in Zeta.

The ladies who came out were really enthusiastic and had a great time getting to know our Sorors as well as each other.

The Alluring Alpha Mu chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated has had an amazing semester thus far. To kick off the year, we decorated our display board in the Thomas Center at Christian Brothers University. On September 13, 2011, we hosted a glamour night, during which we gave facials and did make-up, hands, and feet. The night was a success as the ladies enjoyed receiving tips about cosmetics while relieving themselves from

The Ladies of Alpha Mu also hosted a series of events, which included a Breast Cancer Roundtable, mixer, nacho sale, and game night. Additionally, we partici-pated with Pi Alpha in their NPHC step show Friday, October 7, 2011. In the weeks to follow, Alpha Mu will be hosting our Battling Breast Cancer Benefit Concert and our poetry night event. Battling Breast Cancer will take place on November 19, 2011 at Christian Brothers University’s University theatre from 6 pm – 10 pm. We are asking for your support in this event. There will be a three-dollar charge for all who would like to attend.

The Resplendent Rho Gamma Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. at the University of Memphis has participated in many events thus far in the semester. We held information tables at both the RSO Fair and Multicultural Fair showcasing history about the organization and our chapter. We also participated in the NPHC Week festivities which included a Brotherhood/Sisterhood Tea on September 7, 2011 where all the Divine 9 organizations gave a brief history about their organiza-tions and interacted with students who are interested in becoming a part of the greek community. We also participated in the yardshow on Friday September 9 which was held at the student plaza. Our biggest events this semester took place during our Fall 2011 Interest Weekend which was held from October 6-8. The theme of our weekend was “3 WayZ to be a Goddess.” Events from our weekend included a March of Dimes fundraising table, tutoring at U.S. Dream Academy, game night, skate night, and a yardshow held in the Rose Theater on Friday October 7. The Rho Gamma Chapter looks forward to continuing to be a force on the University of Memphis campus and ensuring that the light of Zeta shines bright!

Sisters in the Spirit

P A G E 1 1

In the midst of any desert experience (i.e. dried up finances, bearing no fruit,

no joy, no progress), Isaiah 43:19 offers a fresh word of encouragement.

See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the desert

and streams in the wasteland.

Are you willing to do your part to prepare for a fresh harvest? As you make

room for God to do a new thing in your life, you must have the courage to do a "new thing" for yourself.

Growth requires pressing, consistency, dedication, purpose and courage. Don't wait until you are sick

and tired of being sick, tired, broke, lonely, stuck, abused, invisible, frustrated and desperate.

It's time to do a new thing!

If you have been quiet... it's time to speak up.

If you have been isolated/shy... it's time get out, socialize, network and meet new people.

If you have been a spender... it's time to be a saver.

If you have been discouraged... it's time to get up and be grateful.

If you have been a receiver, it's time to be a giver.

If you've been procrastinating... it's time to take action.

If you've been angry and holding a grudge, it's time to let go.

If you've been inactive and eating crazeee...it's time to move your body and eat healthier foods.

If you have never ventured beyond your local area... it's time to travel.

If you think it's too late for you...it's time to change your thinking and self-worth.

If you have been stuck on stupid, it's time to walk in wisdom and integrity.

If you have always been the giver, it's time learn how to receive.

If you are always wearing your superwo(man) cape, it's time to delegate.

If you worry too much, it's time to start trusting God.

If you are always late and unorganized, it's time to start being punctual and reliable.

If you have been closed and defensive, it' time to be teachable.
