October 19, 2008

It is with humbled hearts that

members of Tau Eta Zeta Chap-

ter remember Past Grand

Lullelia W. Harrison who passed

on Saturday, October 11, 2008.

Her life works are too numerous

to count, but she was a woman

of high standards and gave un-

selfishly to Zeta. Born on Janu-

ary 24, 1913, in Houston, Texas,

she was the daughter of a black-

smith & her mother was a

housewife. As a child she at-

tended Crawford Elementary

School and went on to graduate

at the age of 15 from Booker T.

Washington High School. She

went on to attend Wiley College

in Marshall, Texas in the Fall of

1928 where she found Zeta. She

became a member of Zeta Phi

Beta Sorority in 1929 and has

been a long standing, hard work-

ing member ever since. She has

served in many capacities with in

the sorority, and has worked

within the national body for more

than 60 years. As the 12th Na-

tional President of Zeta Phi Beta

Sorority, Inc., Past Grand Harri-

son initiated the Housing Project

of 1943. It was under her admini-

stration that the Amicae auxiliary

was established and the Archon

came into publication.

At the time of her passing, she

On Saturday, September 27, 2009,

the Archonette Club was afforded

the opportunity to witness an auspi-

cious performance by the GIA Group

for the Dr. Nathan Carter Foundation

Annual Benefit Concert. The per-

formance was conducted as part of

a 5-year plan to raise $100,000 for

Music major scholarships. Ar-

chonettes Kourtney Goffe, Roneisha

Green, Bria Holman and Tiara Wil-

liams received donated tickets from

the Eunice Clement Sligh Founda-

tion, Inc. The Archonettes enjoyed

melodious harmonic tunes in various

genres from Opera to Negro Spiritu-

als to Gospel all penned and/or

arranged by Dr. Carter. The Ar-

chonettes had different views of the

performance but all had a great time

and thoroughly enjoyed the experi-

ence.

chonettes or how to become one,

other persons representing various au-

thors. They were given an opportunity

to meet Bernadette Stanis, known as

Thelma from the sitcom “Good Times”.

The activity ended abruptly due to a bad

rain storm; however, before leaving they

were briefly able to enjoy a cooking

demonstration by the world renowned

Chef Martin Yang. They were very ex-

cited about being big sisters and hang-

ing out with Amicette Carletta Knight.

fied good manners, poise and communi-

other as well as writers, publicist and

Youth on the Move & good conversation hosted at Ar-

chonette Advisor, Soror Tamara Harris'

home.

Soror Vonda Holman-Carter conducted

an exciting and interactive ice breaker

which led to various dramatic perform-

ances by the group. Archonette Morgan

performance. The days events con-

cluded with Soror Tamara Harris sharing

information about the Archonette club

and the expectations for the upcoming

year with the future Archonettes and

parents.

The Pearlettes, Amicettes & Ar-

chonettes kicked off the new Sorority

Year with a Welcome Back Picnic on

Saturday Sept 6th. Amicette Advisor,

Soror Collazo-Dingle planned a wonder-

ful outdoor pool party for the Amicettes

& Pearlettes but due to the Hurricane

the Luau had to be moved indoors. The

inclement weather did not stop the fun

as good times were had during the

test. The Archonettes bonded over food
