    Black History Month 2026
    Hello ladies! 
     
    First off, I want to congratulate Claudia on the work she did for this semester’s rush and in getting our six new members! 
     
    Furthermore, in my first official business as DEI & Education Chair, I wanted to share a brief reflection on Black History Month and its significance to our chapter. 
     
    Black History Month is observed each February as a time to recognize and celebrate the history, contributions, and lasting impact of Black Americans on our nation. It began as Negro History Week in 1926, founded by historian Carter G. Woodson, in response to the absence of Black history from traditional education. Over time, it expanded into Black History Month, creating space to honor achievements that have too often gone unrecognized.

     

    This month is not only about looking to the past, but also about understanding how history shapes the present. Black History Month encourages reflection on resilience, leadership, creativity, and the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice. These values closely align with our sorority’s commitment to scholarship, service, and sisterhood.

     

    For our active members, recognizing Black History Month is meaningful and intentional. It reflects a shared belief that acknowledging different histories helps strengthen our community and ensures that all members feel seen, valued, and supported. This should be viewed as an opportunity to learn, listen, and reaffirm our commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for every sister.

     

    I am grateful to be part of a group that values thoughtful reflection and continued learning. Black History Month is one of the moments that allows us to come together across generations, grounded in shared values of education, empathy, and unity, as we support the growth of our chapter and the women within it. 

     

    Warmly,
