Historical Facts:
The history of Nu Xi Omega chapter is a story of service to an ideal. The
concept of a graduate chapter for Sorors who live in Middlesex and Somerset
counties was born in the summer of 1979 at an informal social gathering in
Plainfield attended by Sorors Carol Patterson Anderson, Pamela Johnson,
Debbie Macon, Drucilla Carson Wiggins and Gloria Grey Williams.
With 17 other Sorors who heartily endorsed the idea, the women formed the
Middlesex and Somerset Counties Alumnae Interest Group. In June 1980, the
group learned from then-Regional Director Nellie Gaylord that all
requirements for chapter status had been met.
Nu Xi Omega chapter has 6 active charter members and 3 active past
presidents. The chapter also has a Soror of the Year award in which
one Soror is given the title yearly by her chapter Sorors for going above
and beyond "the good of the sisterhood and service to all mankind"
Nu Xi Omega has an incentive program that rewards Sorors for
participation in community service, attendance at meetings and acts of
kindness. The Soror with the most points at the end of the year receives
$100.00 towards the next conference. Under Soror Connie Pizarro’s leadership
we were challenged to NOT be clueless by collecting CLUES. Immediate Past
Basileus Andrea Moten asked us to POP by Polishing Our Pearls.
Madame Basileus Rita Butler Holliday has invited us to earn KEYS to the
House of Nu Xi Omega by Kindly Encouraging
Your Sorors in Service
and Sisterhood because Every
Soror gets Props!
