Representatives from Howard University, Delta Sigma Theta, Kappa Alpha Nupe, Jackson State university, Fisk University, Alpha kappa Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta, made an appearance.  

The first sorority that was interviewed was Zeta Phi Beta. Zeta was founded on January 16, 1920, at Howard University.  Zeta has grown in popularity over the years and has entered the national spotlight. This sorority is the first sorority in the National-Pan-Hellenic Council to have a nation headquarters for all operations. Zeta Phi Beta serves the community by advocating for mental health, giving scholarship opportunities, volunteering for the community amongst other things. “The sisterhood is all about exploring, and that fits me as a legacy. My big sister was a big influence in my decision,” Torie Nobles said.   

 The second sorority that I interviewed Delta Sigma Theta. Delta Sigma Theta was chartered on March 3, 1913. Delta Sigma Theta ensures to be innovative, keep up with relevancy, and be impactful. This sorority has almost half a million members and over 1000 chapters around the world. Delta Sigma Theta puts their time and effort into economic development, educational development, international awareness and involvement, physical and mental health, and political awareness and involvement. “Whenever you do anything, you want to be the best, and that’s what Delta is me, Delta has so many first and what sets it apart from other sororities is we do above and beyond,” Sorority president Dr, Ricardia S. Lewis said.   

“I felt very welcomed, every college was very informing, and they really help me further with choosing a college in the future.” Jayla Rucker said when asked about feelings toward the event.
