Presiding over the ceremony was Gamma Chapter Program Director, Malcolm Minor, of Newark. In attendance were other members of Gamma Chapter, as well as Gamma Xi Phi members living in Alabama, Florida, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia.
“I become more and more impressed with their zeal and willingness to present themselves before the challenge at hand: holding up the banner of Gamma Xi Phi and making sure they strive to lead with the cardinal principles: Philanthropy, Sodality, and Elevation,” Malcolm Minor said.
Ivelisse Tirado concluded the festivities with an impromptu serenade, expressing her gratitude for the honor of membership on behalf of all the initiates.
