Eta Nu Sigma Chapter Brooklyn, NY Alumnae was chartered on December 21, 1991. The chartering members of Eta Nu Sigma Alumnae chapter were: Michelle Arransky-Orroyo, Angela Heres, Zelica Henry, Cheryl Barnes-Horton, Grace Powell, Judith Ricot and Andrienne Simmons. When the chapter was chartered in 1991, its primary purpose was to foster sisterhood among its local membership, while providing community service, scholarship, and empowerment to communities throughout Brooklyn and Queens, in New York City. Since 1991, some of Eta Nu Sigma's service activities have included its Wee Savers program, which provides financial workshops to youth throughout Brooklyn, Operation Big Book Bag, during which the chapter donates hundreds of dollars worth of school supplies to under-privileged grade schoolers, and annual participation in New York Cares Day and AIDS Walk New York. Eta Nu Sigma's annual hallmark activity is its Mother's Day Scholarship Jazz Brunch, organized to raise scholarship funds, which are awarded to promising college-bound youth. In addition, the brunch also honors matriarchs in families and neighborhoods as well as organizations that contribute to the lives of youth. All members of Eta Nu Sigma Chapter possess at least a Bachelor's degree, with many having achieved Master's Degrees in disciplines spanning from business to education. Our members also represent many professions, from healthcare to finance, to education as well as law. Eta Nu Sigma Chapter is also an active member of the Pan-Hellenic Council of Greater New York and the Brooklyn Women's Network. In the Summer of 2020, members of Eta Nu Sigma set on a new journey and chartered Nu Beta Sigma Chapter serving the Borough of Queens separately. We look forward to the trails that are blazed in their future endeavors.
