[Finer Woman10-A-91]

I too have noticed that no one organization really is more visible than another. I am very active in my chapter as well as in the community. I don't recall my chapter ever receiving a correspondence from any other Sorority regarding chapter happenings. Although on occasion, the NPHC will list events of the D9.

I think if we all collaborated more the issue of visibility would not be an issue at all. I know my chapter has an Archonette group at the Frederick Douglass Academy and the Deltas have a Delta Academy at the Mahalia Jackson elementary school, the Omegas sponsor a black college tour (my neo works with them on that project). I also see a ton of SGRhos all over New York. We have a bowling battle in the spring, which I am looking forward to again.

I have noticed the Zetas and Deltas in recent years support eachother in the undergraduate arena probably most. The fraternities seem to all be holding their own. I do recall reading in the local paper about an AKA luncheon one of the grad chapters was hostessing.

Like Ideal08, I think many of us (my chapter included) do much our service behind the scenes in our philanthropic giving, which is equally important.
