Robinson in 1953. Those Sorors are Lexi Allen, Mariah Hester, Leela James, Syleena Johnson, and Anita Wilson- who together rose to this powerful moment in celebration of the 105th Founders Day- further cementing the cherished core values of sisterhood and finer womanhood.
"As sisterhood is one of our core values, I thought that value could be demonstrated through a unified rendition of the Zeta Hymn- among sisters," mentions Mariah. (with a period). “When we stood together and sang our sorority hymn, it was a powerful, unforgettable moment. It embodied one of our greatest values: sisterhood, and in that harmony, we made history and strengthened a legacy that will last forever,” adds Lexi Allen.
