Our community-based programs and initiatives are driven by the Sorority's Five-Point Programmatic Thrust which consists of Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement.

To advance our education priority, the Chapter's General Scholarship Award Committee is pleased to invite all eligible students to apply for our Gladys Outlaw Gallop Scholarship Award. The award's distinguished namesake, Gladys Outlaw Gallop, was a dedicated professional educator who served in Alamance County's public schools for 30 years. She was instrumental in the work of establishing our General Scholarship Award.
