Greetings!

I am extremely excited to welcome the newest members of Tau Rho Omega that have joined us via reactivation and transfer. On behalf of the members of our chapter, we are so happy to have you! We look forward to working with you as we continue our mission to be of “Service to All Mankind”. Your gifts and talents will help to propel us as we help others pursue excellence.  I encourage you to join with other Tau Rho Omega sorors as we execute our shared mission.  

There are numerous opportunities to serve.  To name a few, our SOAR program initiatives, Pearls and Onyx, DFW Metroplex Founders’ Day and the Zina Movement are all areas where your contributions would be welcomed.  Please reach out to the chairmen of these program initiatives/events for more information.  I firmly believe that all that we need to be successful can be found in each of the members of our chapter. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to support you as you become acclimated to Tau Rho Omega. 

As we enter Black History Month, we honor the work and service that we have provided to the world.  Continue to pray for each other and love on one another.  This week, I urge you to reach out to a soror  that you haven't seen in a while via email, text or phone call and give them an encouraging word.  We are stronger together...we are the Tenacious & Talented Tau Rho Omega Chapter!

 Be safe and be blessed!

Serving With A Smile,

“Sisterhood On A Rise”

“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good

measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no

space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when

you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.”- Luke 6:38

Greetings, Sorors!  

Hopefully, everyone made it through the winter storm safely. 

OUR STANDARDS 

Again, thank you to those that took the time during the January chapter meeting to complete the TRO survey as prescribed by Corporate; it had to be done for us to be in compliance. I should be able to share those results during the February chapter meeting. We are also looking to share a survey that is more specific to TRO structures, business, membership, etc.  Stay tuned.  

The Manual of Standard Procedures is just about done.  It will be presented to the Standards Committee for review prior to sharing with the Chapter.  

As a friendly reminder on our journey to compliance as well as operating procedures defining who we are, we are going to go…go slow…but, go…correctly.  Why?  Because we are Tau Rho Omega.  

Stay tuned!
