Sorority holds fall scholarship tea
Beta Lambda Chapter of National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa held its fall Scholarship Fundraiser at Bethlehem Baptist Church on Saturday, Dec. 2.
The African Proverb, “It takes a Village to Raise a Child”, came to life as participants from around the city expounded upon its meaning. Those members of the village and speakers consisted of various components including The School, The Barber and Beauty Shop, The Church, The Family, The Extended Family, First Responders, The Black Panther Party, Foster Parents, Recreation Centers, and finally Sororal Group.
Ten tables were set up representing each of these members of the village.
The leader of the table or a representative elaborated about the role it has played in raising and educating a child. Each table also served food that corresponded to its particular focus. Good food and fellowship were shared. Foods from popcorn and hot dogs served at the Recreation Table to string beans and fried chicken served at the Extended Family Table and Baklava and Slovakia Chicken served at the Sororal Table, stimulated the culinary palates of guests with delight.
Funds from this event will help to support youth and scholarship programs presented by the sorority.
