Around Morristown, you don’t have to speak Greek to know what Pi Theta Omega means:
Community Service.
The local chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. was honored at Tuesday’s council meeting for 30 years of service.
The ladies celebrated their anniversary with a gala at the Hanover Marriott last weekend.
At the council meeting, Mayor Tim Dougherty proclaimed a day in their honor, citing a litany of achievements by Pi Theta Omega.
The chapter has provided more than $150,000 in college scholarships in Morris County, and collected tons of food for the Interfaith Food Pantry, the Mayor said.
Members have participated in Morristown’s Community Health Day, packed children’s backpacks with school supplies, served meals at Homeless Solutions, and supported the Table of Hope.
They assist at the annual Martin Luther King breakfast and Art in the Atrium show, help children of incarcerated parents, and pitch in at the town’s spring cleaning, Dougherty said.
“That is an amazing lot of work, and I’m very proud that we’re part of this,” the Mayor said.
Thanking him for the recognition, chapter President Regenia Moore-Lee noted:
“We are a very, very hardworking organization focused on service to our community. And we have been very committed to this community for 30 years, and we appreciate all the support that you’ve given us along the way.”
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. began at Howard University in 1908.
