    the Sorors of New Jersey “Building on the Principles of Zeta

    While Blazing New Paths!”

    Z-Lessons - The Parliamentarian: The “Silent Manager”In each Z-Lessons you will find “Parliamentary Corner”, authored by the State Phylacter Titessa Smith. The

    purpose of this wonderful feature is to provide tips and a quick review of key rule and our governing docu-ments. For June, we review the role of the Chapter/Auxiliary Parliamentarian. It is important is to elect a Par-liamentarian that understands all sources of authority (National Constitution and Bylaws, Regional, State andChapter Bylaws), not just Robert’s Rules of Order. She should be able to train members and serve as a re-source for the President.

    The Parliamentarian:

    Advises members of the rules and regulations governing the Chapteraccording to all governing documents and RONRProvides TrainingChairs the Bylaws committeeConfers with the President in advance of the meeting to anticipateany problems

    Gives advice to the Chair during the meeting, and if requested, to the members (She should sit nextto the Chair)Does not make motions, participate in debate or vote except by secret ballotAssists with set up of the meeting roomAs inconspicuously as possible, calls attention to the Chair of any to an errors that may affect thesubstantive rights of any memberEnsures that all members are provided with the most recent copy of all governing documentsProposes bylaw and SOP changes as necessaryIs NOT the Sergeant-At-Arms

    Assists with the general supervision of the chapterIs familiar with all handbooks, forms, policies and procedures of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.Is mentally prepared for the job – sets personal goals and objectives for her term of officeAttends meetings with Executive Board on a monthly basis.

    A Personal Connection

    On April 24 th the ladies of AAXZ Chapter participated in their first March forBabies walk in Asbury Park. Accompanying the chapter was Soror ChasityMcDonald’s sister-in-law Andrea McDonald, whose son (Jasiah) was born

    premature. With this cause being so personal to her, Andrea led the team infundraising. It’s people like Andrea and Jasiah who remind us of the im-portance of supporting causes like this. Jasiah was born 7 weeks early at4lbs, 2oz and today he is a healthy, happy 3-year-old.

    NJ State Leadership - Z-HOPE Initiative

    Say Cheese – A Healthy Smile for SeniorsThis year the Z-HOPE Initiative for the NJ State Conference was “SayCheese – A Healthy Smile for Seniors.” We set a goal to collect at least2,000 oral care toiletries to donate to the Burlington County Aging and Disa-

    bility Resource Center which was endorsed by the International Grand Basil-eus – Mary Breaux Wright. Between Friday April 22 nd and Saturday April

    23rd Sorors Nicole Boston, New Jersey State Elder Care Coordinator, and Damali Stansbury, New JerseyState Assistant Z-HOPE Coordinator, collected 3,530 oral care items which included toothbrushes, tooth-

    paste, mouthwash, floss and denture products to name a few. There were donations from Graduate and Un-dergraduate Chapters as well as the Amicae and Youth Auxiliaries.

    The Burlington County Aging and Disability Resource Center services seniors 60+ years of age at 4 localsenior centers and home-bound seniors throughout Burlington County. When Soror Boston first approachedthe resource center about the receiving the donated items they were only expecting to receive about 50 items.Soror Boston explained the impact our organization has throughout the state and let them know of our 2,000item goal and they were more than excited to be the recipient of these items. Soror Boston ensured the itemswere sorted, counted and packaged for donation to make it easier for the resource center to use. On MondayApril 25 th she dropped off the items and the resource center could not believe how many items we collectedfor this cause. The items will serve hundreds of seniors in Burlington County.

    The New Jersey State Z-HOPE Team would like to thank everyone for their donations and helping us exceedour goal for this initiative!

    Omicron Omicron Chapter Zeta Youth AffiliatesWhile many of the girls in Omicron Omicron Zeta Chapter’s youth program will be taking va-cations for the summer, two girls will be attending At The Well & Techgirlz. These two pro-grams accept girls based on outstanding academic achievement and community involvement.

    Archonette Annaya Baynes has been accepted in the At The Well Lead-ership Academy. This is a two week boarding leadership and academic

    program at Princeton University. The Academy is geared toward minor-ity girls in high school and seeks to empower young girls locally to be-come effective leaders globally. The program encourages girls to live

    beyond their limitations, achieve beyond their dreams, and impact com-munities beyond their reach.

    Amicette Justice Livingstone received a full scholarship to TechGirlz En-trepreneur Camp located on the campus of Villanova University in Penn-sylvania. TechGirlz is the only camp of this kind designed for middleschool girls. It is a week-long day camp that attempts to reduce the gendergap in technology entrepreneur careers. Their mission is to empower girlsto be future technology leaders in science, technology and engineering.

    Kudos to both girls as they continue their pursuit of academic, leadership and technology empowerment.

    Bonding, connecting, and lots of laughter are all important keys to the Sisterhood of Alpha Alpha Chi ZetaChapter. On Saturday, April 30, 2016, the dedicated ladies had their Sisterly Outing in which they do everyother month. This outing was spent at Woodbridge Mall; but not for a normal girl’s day out of shopping! Theladies had their first AAXZ Scavenger Hunt. This activity was filled with clues all centered around, Zeta PhiBeta Sorority, Inc., its Founders, accessories, colors, and its principles. Bragging rights go to Sorors Kim Tet-terton and Dawn Durant for being the first to complete the task. What an awesome way to remind us of justhow much fun sisters can have while still being about the Business of Zeta.

    The Dedicated ladies of Alpha Alpha Chi Zeta Chapter of Zeta PhiBeta Sorority, Inc. joined the Monmouth-Ocean County Chapter of

    the Pan-Hellenic Council for their tenth annual Greek House Party. The event washeld on April 9, 2016 at the Hamilton Banquet Hall in Neptune, New Jersey. Live mu-sic, food, steppers and the guest, both Greek and non-Greek, made the event a success.The Greek House Party proceeds are used by the Pan-Hellenic Council to award mul-

    tiple scholarships to male and female high school seniorsand college students. This years Greek House Party high-lighted two New Greek organizations both of which belong to the “Blue andWhite Family.” AAXZ and the brothers of Iota Chi Sigma Chapter of Phi BetaSigma Fraternity, Inc. are the newest members of the MCOCPHC. The Pan-Hellenic Council now has membership from seven of the Divine Nine Organiza-tions (Alpha, Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Kappa Alpha

    Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta) who participated in the event. The Dedicated Great 18of AAXZ continues to make strides in the community and among fellow Greeks with their membership in theMCOCPHC.
