Description of the Activity: Xi Chapter hosted the Founders Day celebration on Sunday, May 19, 2019.
Xi Chapter and Rho Chapter came together to honor our Founders, We worshiped at St. Daniels
Methodist church during the morning Service. Sorors gathered in their white attire and a mind to
remember the ladies who thought it not robbery to begin this great organization. Each chapter presented
a check to the church for their education department. After Church service we gathered at the Upper
Chichester Community Center for the program. Xi Chapter Sorors presented a program which seem to
be enjoyed by all. We were able to fellowship, dine and enjoy the festivities. We ended our afternoon
by participating in the ritualistic ceremony for Founders Day.
