At last, both current members and new inductees of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.’s UTM Upsilon Gamma Zeta Chapter, are proudly announcing their official chartering.

The chartering ceremony and dinner for ZPhiB’s UTM alumni chapter is to be held at 2 p.m. this Saturday.

ZPhiB will be kicking off the weekend by collecting donations to support Hurricane Katrina relief efforts at the UTM football game against Tennessee State.

“The chartering ceremony is only the beginning,” said Tierney Armour of ZPhiB.

“They are pursuing nothing less than excellence,” she said. The Upsilon Gamma Zeta chapter will be guided by ZPhiB’s main objective, which is to expand membership and maintain the integrity of the sorority’s chapters.

The new chapter already has several events planned for the fall, including taking part in Homecoming activities, a winter coat drive and a food drive.
