Sorors Began HBCU Challenge at the September Sorority Meeting

ber 17. On September 17, Our Supreme Basileus, Dr. Glenda Glover challenged all Sorors to donate to a HBCU and help raise 1 million
dollars in one day. Sorors nationwide met the challenge and raised 1 .2 million dollars for HBCUs in one day!

and to judge approximately 160 children for the inner-city Nutcracker Project. To be eligible for auditioning for the roles of Soldiers,
Angels, Party Boys, Mice, Mother Ginger Children and Pages in the full-length professional ballet, children between ages 6-12 with no
