Pearlessence ZETA OMICRON Pearl Essence OMEGA Pearl Essence Edition 111 1st Quarter 2011 Greetings from the Basileus Dear Sorors, I want to thank you for making my first year as Basileus a very pleasant one. You all worked very hard to implement the projects, programs, and events that were outlined at the beginning of the year. We set a lot of goals last January and you all worked very hard to see them come to fruition. Our theme for this year is, “We’ve Only Just Begun.” When I first began thinking about it, I was thinking in terms of us being halfway through my tenure as Basileus. I was hoping to use this theme as our through my tenure as Basileus. I was hoping to use this theme as our mantra to push forward toward the end of my term in office. However, the more I t hink about it, the more I feel that we should internalize it in ou r day-to- day walk as Sorors. Whether this is your second year as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. or you are a life-member, I want you to take it to heart. “We’ve Only Just Begun.” Go back to that same spirit and mindset you had on the day you first got your that same spirit and mindset you had on the day you first got your pearls. “We’ve Only Just Begun.” Meditate on the thrill and the excitement you felt the first time you attended your first Cluster, Regional, and Boule. “We’ve Only Just Begun.” Think about the first time you sang the National hymn with your Sorors. “We’ve Only Just Begun!!!” I am calling on that very same spirit because that is the only way our sorority is going to continue to rein supreme. In the spirit of siste rh ood and service, Soror Cherice Pearl Essence Page 2 1st Quarter 2011 Kinston, NC - Soror Eleanor Gray Allison, charter member of Zeta Omicron Omega, became an Ivy Beyond the Wall on November 14, 2010. She was the youngest of three children born to the late Eugene and Mary Gray. George and Marie Gray Bryan preceded her in death. Soror Allison received her formal educational training in Kinston and LaGrange public school systems. At an early age, she left her hometown, Kinston, to assist her “Ma Lena” when she became ill. This grandmother was a lamplight to her pathway of life. She learned all about the Bible and Christianity from her and all other things that were necessary for a “youngun” to know during those times. Soror Allison came back to Kinston from La Grange after the death of “Ma Lena” and enrolled in the eight grade. In 1944, she graduated from Adkin High School with honors (salutatorian). She matriculated attended Johnson C. Smith and received her degree in foreign languages (French) in 1948. For a number of years, she worked at Adkin High School with the Veterans program, and in 1952 she worked at Woodington High School in Kinston for 14 years. God gave her special talents and wisdom to use with her students. Eleanor was one of seven Black women to integrate Foreign language Summer Program at Appalachian State Teacher’s College in Boone, NC. In 1957 she married Tyson Allison. She continued her studies and received a Master’s Degree in French at A&T College (now university) in 1960.

Loving memories will remain with her husband Tyson of the home, son Tyson Renard (Jocelyn), grandkids, nieces, and nephews and a host of other friends and relatives.

  • The Use of Gamma in Place of Digamma in Ancient Greek
    Mnemosyne (2020) 1-22 brill.com/mnem The Use of Gamma in Place of Digamma in Ancient Greek Francesco Camagni University of Manchester, UK [email protected] Received August 2019 | Accepted March 2020 Abstract Originally, Ancient Greek employed the letter digamma ( ϝ) to represent the /w/ sound. Over time, this sound disappeared, alongside the digamma that denoted it. However, to transcribe those archaic, dialectal, or foreign words that still retained this sound, lexicographers employed other letters, whose sound was close enough to /w/. Among these, there is the letter gamma (γ), attested mostly but not only in the Lexicon of Hesychius. Given what we know about the sound of gamma, it is difficult to explain this use. The most straightforward hypothesis suggests that the scribes who copied these words misread the capital digamma (Ϝ) as gamma (Γ). Presenting new and old evidence of gamma used to denote digamma in Ancient Greek literary and documen- tary papyri, lexicography, and medieval manuscripts, this paper refutes this hypoth- esis, and demonstrates that a peculiar evolution in the pronunciation of gamma in Post-Classical Greek triggered a systematic use of this letter to denote the sound once represented by the digamma. Keywords Ancient Greek language – gamma – digamma – Greek phonetics – Hesychius – lexicography © Francesco Camagni, 2020 | doi:10.1163/1568525X-bja10018 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the CC BY 4.0Downloaded license. from Brill.com09/30/2021 01:54:17PM via free access 2 Camagni 1 Introduction It is well known that many ancient Greek dialects preserved the /w/ sound into the historical period, contrary to Attic-Ionic and Koine Greek.

  • Why Accept Our Invitation?
    WHY ACCEPT OUR INVITATION? Congratulations! If you have been invited to accept membership in a collegiate honor society, it means that you have been recognized for your accomplishments and character. But did you know that the meaning of the invitation depends on the purpose and stature of the society? !e purpose of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, and Omicron Delta Kappa as honor societies is to celebrate excellence in academics and integrity of character. Our societies exist because those who founded them believed, as we believe still, that there are achievements worthy of celebration: academic work of extraordinary quality, exemplary leadership, and research that advances human knowledge. Our invitations recognize distinguished performance in study, research, or leadership, sustained over a period of years. So our invitations are typically extended late in the undergraduate career or even a"er graduation, marking the transition from accomplished work of high merit to further exceptional attainment. Honori#cs vary in value, so it is important to #nd out which ones matter the most. Our societies do not aim to supply a mere credential: belonging to our societies means more than simply a certi#cation of your grade point average or your resume. In the wider world, membership in one of our organizations is understood as an honor that is neither cheaply won nor widely bestowed. And we o$er opportunities to continue to learn and grow in the company of other members of our societies across the country and across generations. Ask your advisors, mentors, or faculty members about us. We are con#dent they will tell you what we stand for.

Coit, Graduate Assistant Greek Chapter History Program December 20, 2001 Information courtesy of University of Illinois Archives and the Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing This history was produced as part of the Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing’s Greek Chapter History Project. The Society was founded in 1988, with the goal of preserving the historic buildings that embody the history of the nation’s largest Greek system, and educating the public about the historical significance of fraternities and sororities on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. Dues paid by member fraternity and sorority chapters and donations from chapter alumni fund the Society’s work. In keeping with their mission, the Society began the Greek Chapter History Project in May 2000 in conjunction with the University of Illinois Archives. The GCHP aims for nothing less than producing a complete historical record of fraternities and sororities on the University of Illinois campus by employing a graduate assistant to research and write histories of campus chapters. Making the work possible are the extensive collections of the University of Illinois Archives, especially its Student Life and Culture Archival Program. Supported by an endowment from the Stewart S. Howe Foundation, the heart of the SLC Archives is the Stewart S. Howe collection, the world’s largest collection of material related to fraternities and sororities. 2001 The Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing and the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.
