Empowerment of youth is the hallmark of the chapter’s originated activities which include:
Breast Cancer Awareness
The Power of Knowing
A TCS originated education programming observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in honor of our Soror Hattie McDaniel. This program aims to educate, dispel myths, and promote early detection of breast cancer through mammography and regular self-exams.
Domestic Violence Awareness
Love is Kind
A TCS originated education program that addresses intimate partner violence in its totality (including examining relationship pitfalls to help participants break the cycle of violence). We further support this initiative with toiletry drives for battered women’s shelters.
