National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa
Theta Chapter, Brooklyn
Whether it is Brooklyn NY’s 585-acre Prospect Park, or the infamous Coney Island Boardwalk, over the years, NSPDK, Inc. Theta Chapter has participated in the three-five mile Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.
The outdoor fundraising event is a forceful and moving chance to join in as a chapter, to lift up breast cancer survivors, and elevate awareness about approaches we can act upon to lessen ourselves, our families and friends risks of getting breast cancer.
It takes a village!
NSPDK Theta Chapter knows we must come together to nurture and interact with our children with high quality resources in a safe and healthy environment no matter the zip code.
Theta has a long-established tradition of giving time and resources to schools. The Fall Festival is one example where Theta Sorors support an indigent school to achieve the ideal that all students can reach their dreams to succeed.
Annually, NSPDK, Inc. Theta Chapter has a scholarship luncheon. The scholarship luncheon does what it should, to raise money for our high school graduating Kudos and Xinos entering college.
What a perfect occasion for sorors to also be “A Lady in Red” [more high points of the event are the reciprocal opportunities to interact, connect and inspire honorees, donors and our magnificent youth, while meeting face to face].
The National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Inc., Theta Chapter, has an active book club known as The Beautiful Bibliophiles. Simply put, Theta collects and loves books!
We anticipate meeting at our regularly scheduled book discussion sessions, where we get to build sisterhood, expand our knowledge, increase our cultural ties, push pass our own perspectives and support our youth.
Each bullet-point was once again achieved when we read and talked about the Powder Necklace along with author Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond [standing in the rear, regally graced in a cyan blue scarf, amongst Theta Sorors adorned in red and gold].
Brew-Hammond’s debut novel is a coming of age story of an exploratory London teenage girl, sent “back home” to Ghana by her divorced and protective mother to complete her schooling. Eventually, she is to reunite with her mother, but with some unresolved challenges decides instead to visit her father in New York City.
Theta [as so often is the case] had such a good time reflecting on what we agreed upon, what would probably happen and how we could either relate or not. What a charm to host the talented Nan Ekua Brew-Hammond, and we all agreed that we look forward to more of her books.
Theta Beautiful Bibliophiles has a mantra: “Keep on Reading, Keep on Teaching and Keep on Achieving”.
