Northern Region – 2015-2017 Greetings Northern Region Sorors! I would like to give a special 'Thank You' to the Regional Board, Chapter Basilei, Northern Region Sorors, and National Officers for your support and encouragement over the past two years. Consider our Theme: The Power of Vision: Empowering Women and Inspiring Leaders. The Power of Vision - 'The act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be.' How many times have you had an idea or concept and was blessed to see it come to fruition? Empowering Women - 'To give power or authority to; authorize, especially by legal or official means.' How many women have you supported and encouraged to increase their power and authority over their own lives? Inspiring Leaders - 'To influence, fill, or affect with a specified feeling or thought.' How are you assisting others in their efforts to advance in their careers, organizations and/or associations? Our Theme, considered long by some, if studied, and put into action, will change the course of someone's life. What will you do today, How will you encourage someone today, Who will you support today? It all begins with You! Let's increase our ideas, continue our empowerment of women and be supportive of our leaders for we are: The Mighty Northern Region of Gamma Phi Delta Sorority, Inc. Peace and Harmony, Soror Evelyn R. Berrien, LM Regional Director Gamma Phi Delta Sorority, Inc. Northern Region – 2015-2017 Greetings to my Dear Sisters of the Mighty Northern Region! Do you have any idea how amazing you are? Of course you do and we have the Envoy Award to prove it? The Envoy Award was presented to us at Boule, 2016 for the largest increase in membership numbers. Sorors across the region have gen- uinely sought out unique women from various backgrounds to join our awesome sisterhood. The FAB (1st Anti-Basileus) Council was created to assist the First anti-Basilei to effectively communicate with regional and national officers, to disseminate membership information, to promote membership (3 R’s) and to share ideas. The First-Anti’s in the chapter have worked side by side with their membership com- mittees and chapter members to stay up-to-date on all materials pertaining to membership. Chapters have strategically approached membership in a new way and I believe this is one of the reasons we continue to grow. Our region h as also increased our active chapter roster to 14. On February 25, 2017, we successfully chartered the Nu Phi Chapter of Cincinnati, Ohio I was so excited that many of you participated in the chartering of our newest chapter. Nu Phi has hit the ground running and I was very proud to be their M.C. I also want to say thank you to the regional board, Sorors Aida-Kai Anderson, Karen Streeter and Celestine Carter for serving as big sisters for Nu Phi. It’s been a pleasure to serve on the regional board 2015-2017 with Sorors Evelyn, Shirley, Hellen, Beverly, Theresa and Connie. I have learned so much from each of you. Thank you to all of my NR Sorors for your support, encouragement and love. Let’s keep the momentum going and growing?

    CBCF CHAIR'S MESSAGE "AFoundation Expanding Opportunities" n he history of Black America is the history ofa people BTf who have overcome tremendous odds, triumphed over the adversity of slavery and segregation, and found opportunity in hardship. we come together for the 21st Annual Legislative Weekend, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rAsproud to celebrate these achievements and to help chart a course for the future that willenable us to continue to build on the successes of the past. The civil rights era inaugurated by Thurgood j^ Marshall and other champions of justice was marked by the \u25a0 passage of landmark legislation banning discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, and the voting booth. Thanks to this watershed period of progress in our Congressman Alan Wheat nation's recent past, an unprecedented number of Black Americans are now beginning to realize economic security. Yetrecent events have shown us that we cannot take these gains for granted. Although a vibrant and growing Black middle-class willcontinue to make headway in the 19905, a dismaying portion of our population faces a bleak future as a result of governmental indifference and neglect during the last ten years. An increasingly hostile Supreme Court has begun to chip away at the legal underpinnings of our nation's antibias safety net and the current Administration has shown itself willingto play racial politics withlegislative safeguards against discrimination. In the face of these new obstacles to progress, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rising to the challenge of developing strategies to address the inequities that continue to confront modern society and to create new opportunities for an increasingly diverse Black American population.

  • UNDERSTANDING RACIAL IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH the EXPERIENCES of BLACK WOMEN in WHITE SORORITIES at PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONS (Pwis)
    RUNNING HEAD: BLACK LIKE ME BLACK LIKE ME: UNDERSTANDING RACIAL IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE EXPERIENCES OF BLACK WOMEN IN WHITE SORORITIES AT PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONS (PWIs) By Joy L. Smith A dissertation submitted to The Graduate School of Education Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Graduate Program in Social & Philosophical Foundations of Education Approved by ________________________________________ Dr. Beth C. Rubin, Chair ________________________________________ Dr. James Giarelli ________________________________________ Dr. Fred J. Bonner II New Brunswick, New Jersey August, 2018 BLACK LIKE ME Abstract of the Dissertation Du Bois (1902) argues that “being Black” is a consistent identity struggle for people of African descent in the United States because Black identity is often seen as incongruent with the cultural and social values of mainstream America. Tinto (1993) offers that this incongruence is apparent at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) and suggests that participating in racially- centered student organizations allows Black students to “fit in” at PWIs and, in turn, promotes their success in college. Carter (1994) contends that Black identity is not a uniformed experience; socioeconomic status, educational level/attainment and ethnicity/nationality diversify it. This dissertation explored this versatility through the stories of Black women who joined White sororities at PWIs. The goal was to shed light on their experiences, to understand how race is perceived and understood in the lives of those who do not perform race in traditional or stereotypical ways. Secondly, the research delved into the intersected relationship between race, class/socioeconomics and ethnicity/nationality—and the role that it plays in defining Black identity at PWIs.

Over the years, the university has chartered a variety of culture specific organizations, counsels and groups. In 1973, the first black Greek-lettered organization chartered at the university.
