Living Finer: Zeta 2020

The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated Beta Alpha Chapter presented; “Living Finer”. This sorority week was a special one, with January 16, 2020 marking one hundred years of transforming lives for Zeta’s everywhere.
The week itself was 90s themed, based off the sitcom “Living Single”. Living Finer showcased the meaning of being, “True Blue and Tight Like Glue” with numerous activities taking place during the week. From January 26 to February 1, 2020 there were events that were “geared to help the student body understand what becoming truer to themselves and sisterhood.”
According to Jazmun Smith, a senior criminal justice major from Loranger, Louisiana, the weeks ultimately goal was to present the sorority as, “down to earth women creating an atmosphere for everyone to feel like themselves.”
The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. Week started off in the house of worship at Rose Hill Baptist Church at eleven a.m. as the association stood together in prayer. This day was entitled “Finer Women Pray”, which means women of the true blue and white must pray together to become stronger women in the community. 
Monday was all about “U-N-I-T-Y”, a S.H.A.R.P Seminar that was held to help women fight against Sexual Harassment and how to Respond to Assault and Prevent it. An army representative spoke on how to prevent sexual harassment on and off campus. Also, he discussed signs and ways to acknowledge when you are a victim of sexual harassment. This event was extremely informative and boosted many lady’s knowledge about sexual harassment.  
As the week progressed on Tuesday, “Woo Woo Woo” was a throwback game night at the Rec Center. Students played throwback games that most people born between 1996 and 2000 would recall from their childhood. This event was full of throwback games and fun for all students to engage in. 
The “Flava” Pretty Wednesday Yard Show was one to remember as the Zetas flaunted their beauty and step moves across the Union courtyard. They also sold lemonade and hot cocoa to raise money towards there organization for future events. 
Towards the end of the week on Thursday, the Zetas held an event called“The Maverick”. This event was an informational session about educating ladies on campus about what their sorority stands for and the expectations the chapter holds.
 “We hope to grasp the attention of the ladies and encourage them to join our sorority,” said Jazmine Griffin, a senior from Lake Charles, Louisiana. This event was held in the multi-purpose room with many ladies enjoying this empowerment session and felt motivated in becoming stronger in sisterhood.  
To wrap up the week, “Showtime” was held in Boley Hall Lobby on Friday night. The event was titled “Apollo Night”, as students got the chance to showcase their talents, such as poetry, singing, and dancing. There were a multitude of student performances that took place throughout the night.
