Past President
Ollie Washington
1963-1965
"During the time I served as president, 1963–1965, that was a turbulent time in the United States, much, much activity involving voting rights and civil rights. And as you can tell that was prior to the 1965 Voting Rights Act, so one of the major things that the sorority was doing... was registering people to vote. And there were a large number of people at that time that either, that didn't feel they could vote, or couldn't register or just didn't take the time to register. So we were very involved... even going door to door asking people if they were registered to vote."
