Since 1958, Southern Region Chapters work together to implement the following programs consistent with our motto, Not For Ourselves, But For Others:
Services for Citizens with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
This is the sorority’s principal project – to provide services for intellectually and developmentally disabled citizens. All chapters and regions plan a variety of programs to achieve this national goal annually. In addition, the Gloria Chapmon Walk-a-Thon, held biennially during the national convention raises funds for community-based organizations advocating for and serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
Programs to Assist Business and Professional Women
Programs are available to assist new and experienced business and professional women.
Career Awareness Programs
All chapters hold a youth Career Day annually to motivate high school students to enter business and professional fields. This also helps the students to expand their education and career options.
Scholarships
The Chapters, Regions and the Grand Chapter award scholarships to deserving high school graduates and/or college students annually. The Queen Bee Pageant is the national fundraising effort among chapters to raise funds for scholarships and other charitable donations. All chapters are represented in the Queen Bee Pageant at the national convention. The Chapter Queen who raises the most money is crowned the National Queen.
