Whereas, the South Carolina chapters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., have gathered at the State House for twelve years to bring recognition and awareness of the service that the organization renders to the State; and
Whereas, in an organization intended to build community awareness and action, Zeta members have donated two hundred eighty-five wigs as part of a cancer awareness initiative and money for homes for children in the Bahamas and for the women veterans' Rock Campaign; and
Whereas, South Carolina Zetas provide assistance for their fellow citizens through the state's Zetas Helping Other People Excel (Zeta-HOPE) program and scholarships through the South Carolina License Tag program; and
Whereas, the state Zeta Phi Beta Sorority members also participate in national Zeta programs that include the Elder Care Initiative to provide education and awareness about preparing for senior years in life; the Stork's Nest, a community-based program to promote prenatal health for low-income pregnant women; March of Dimes March for Babies walks; Adopt-A-School, a program to identify low-performing schools and to provide assistance to enhance educational experiences, increase test scores, and improve grades; and
