Community Shoutout to the Tau Epsilon Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Hope Mills, NC — a chapter whose commitment to service continues to shine. Together, we have launched a powerful new partnership that will directly support the families of women who served our nation.
This collaboration establishes a $1,000 annual scholarship awarded to the child of a woman veteran for the next five years, creating meaningful opportunities and honoring the legacy of service within these families. Leaders like the women of Tau Epsilon Zeta demonstrate what true community impact looks like — stepping forward, investing in others, and building pathways for future generations.
