2022 Central Region Alumnae Member of the Year

1^st Anti-Basileus (Membership Chair) and 2^nd Anti-Basileus (Advisor to Pi Nu Chapter at Oakland University); immediate past Central Region Michigan Area Coordinator

Chapter Centennial Planning Committee, Awards & Achievements Committee, Mebmership Committee Chair

Induction Date: December 10, 2000, *Xi Upsilon Chapter - Oakland University

Favorite National Program: Swim 1922. As a prior competitive swimmer and mother of two small children, I understand and appreciate the education of water safety focused in the African American communities which see the most water related deaths annually. I believe the program is vital in not only keeping children safe but promoting water athletics for healthier youth.

Why I Chose Sigma: I chose to join a sorority for the global sisterhood that sorority life offers but particularly Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. because of the correlation of the organization’s focus on the betterment of the youth and the historical foundation of having persevered through several relatable obstacles for the founding of the organization.

What I Have Learned: The leadership skills I have gained from the organization’s opportunities is by far the greatest asset I have obtained from my membership with Sigma

Grammateus (Financial Secretary)
Scholarship Committee Chair, Budget & Finance Committee, Chapter Centennial Planning Committee, Fundraising & Social Events Committee

Induction Date: March 18, 2021 - Zeta Eta Sigma Alumnae Chapter

Favorite National Program: Women’s Wellness Initiative. Being that the sorority is for women, I find that this exemplifies what sisterhood is all about. Women have historically had a lot on their shoulders and receive less than stellar support for not only issues in Corporate America, but support for mental, familial and life balance areas.
Why I Chose Sigma: I chose to be a member of Sigma Gamma Rho because of the reputation of the sorority being truly one that respects sisterhood for all members and the culture.

What I Have learned: Being that my exposure to the sorority only began at the alumni level, since becoming a member I have realized the value of having a group of like-minded women truly becoming sisters and accepting you for who you are.

Epistoleus (Historian)

Branding & Social Media Committee Chair, Pontiac NPHC Rep, NPHC Committee Chair and Scholarship Committee

Induction Date: Feb 23, 2012, Delta Epsilon - Eastern Michigan University

Favorite National Program: Women's Wellness Initiative. You can help the community in many different ways using this program. For an example, you can give to your local lighthouse, homeless shelter for women and children, help local and/state jails and prisons with women needs and/or raise money for March of Dimes, Breast Cancer Awareness and Mental Health. We are women ourselves and can help other women as well as learn from other women about the basic needs and care women need.

Why I Chose Sigma: . I chose to become a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. because I saw the different programs they are involved in within the community i.e. Girl Scouts, swimming and networking with other members in the NPHC and other chapters.

What I Have Learned: Since joining Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. I have learned that each person in the chapter plays an important part in the chapter. Each member is valued in such a good way that it brings you back every year.

Induction Date: March 26, 2022 - Zeta Eta Sigma Alumnae Chapter

Favorite National Program: Operation Big BookBag

Why I Chose Sigma: I wanted to be a part of an organization that has a presence in the community. Sigma places an emphasis on service and that is exemplified by the National Programs and partnerships we maintain and host. Also, I wanted to be connected to a group of like-minded, trail blazing women.
What I Have Learned: Since joining Sigma, I have learned a lot already. I have learned how to host meetings using Robert’s rule of order. I have learned about all officer positions and what requirements must be met to hold those offices and proper meeting conduct. I have also learned how to open up and trust other women more easily.

Induction Date: March 18, 2021 - Zeta Eta Sigma Alumnae Chapter
Favorite National Program: Women’s Wellness Initiative
Why I Chose Sigma: I chose to be a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc because I like the standards of excellence: sisterhood, scholarship, and service. Its members demonstrated these morals while being down to earth, loving, fun and all-around great examples and people to be around. The unique story and resilience of its 7 founders also gave me inspiration and hope that I too can make a difference despite the challenges of this world.

Fundraising & Social Events Committee Chair, Membership Committee, and Community Service Committee Co-Chair
Induction Date: March 26, 2022 - Zeta Eta Sigma Alumnae Chapter

Favorite National Program: Operation Big BookBag. My favorite national program is Operation Big Book Bag. I teach 7th grade ELA at Legacy Charter Academy and I love promoting education to our youth. A lot of negative things are being promoted to our children and it makes them feel embarrassed to like school. Depending on their background and home life, school is all they have. This program brings excitement to the children during the "Back to School" time every year.

Why I Chose Sigma: I became interested from my undergraduate years at Michigan State University. The members at that time were compassionate, were loving, caring, nice, and showed grace. They displayed sisterhood in a positive way. They allowed you to get to know them without making you feel pressured to be a part of their organization and didn’t look at you differently because you weren’t a member . The more members I met from various chapters, the more I recognized I still received the same feeling of comfort. That’s when I knew that Sigma Gamma Rho was for me and I looked no further than Sigma.
What I Have Learned: I have learned that we are all different, whether it be paths, ages, stages in life, but we come together for the betterment of the community and that's what makes us unique. We are there for one another, we uplift one another, and we also create a safe space for one another.

Induction Date: February 19, 2009, Pi Nu - Oakland University

Favorite National Program: Operation Big BookBag

Why I Chose Sigma: When I met the members of the organization, they were all kind, generous and very welcoming. Whether it was one of their scheduled events or just inviting me to come with them to lunch, they never made me feel out of place. I appreciated how dedicated they were to community service and that was something that I wanted to be a part of.

What I Have Learned: The organization consists of many different women from all different walks of life with many different personalities and backgrounds. Being in the organization has enhanced my ability to work with people towards a common goal and has given me the opportunity to create bonds with amazing and exceptional women.
