Description
Since December of 1999, Sigma Psi Zeta has made a national commitment to "Combat Violence Against Women," in all its myriad forms. The National Governance encourages our women to educate themselves above all. As sisters become involved on an undergraduate level, they begin a relationship that will follow long after they have graduated.
To uphold this pledge to combat violence, SYZ National partners with our undergraduate chapters to coordinate a concerted effort to raise awareness and money for this worthwhile cause.
Every October, the undergraduate sisterships take part in Domestic Violence Awareness month. They take part in the Purple Ribbon Campaign, in which they distribute purple ribbons and literature to their campuses to raise awareness of this widespread phenomenon. They also work with their local charity to raise money, and hold at least one other community service event with regard to our National Philanthropy.
Every spring, the sisterships take part in the "Take Back the Night" rally. Often, Sigma sorors will work with other campus groups to support this event. The National Governance and our Alpha Chapter work together to present the Spring Gala on our founding date, in which sisters and friends celebrate the year's accomplishments and raise funds for the NYAWC.
Sigma Psi Zeta National takes a proactive approach towards Domestic Violence and other acts of violence against women. We have spearheaded an on-going drive to collect cell phones that can be reprogrammed for use by victims of domestic violence, so that they might call for help should need be. We also have an on-going collection drive of self-help books to help build a resource library for the clients of the NYAWC.
