Session 1 is officially underway! In September, we launched Community Norms, Trust & The Journey Ahead with the Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County

The day started with great food and even better conversations about belonging and mutual respect. Then it was game time: youth took on the Human Knot Challenge, working through tangles (without letting go!) to practice active listening, patience, and collaborative leadership. Every single group untangled their knot and reflected on how those same skills show up in their everyday lives.

We wrapped the day with a hands-on friendship bracelet activity, where each child learned to tie their own knotted bracelet while talking through what those knots symbolize, teamwork, connection, and sticking with it even when things get tangled.

So proud of the trust, respect, and enthusiasm these young leaders brought to Day 1. Here's to the journey ahead!

A huge thank you to the brothers of the XXL - Xi Xi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. for partnering with Chi Theta Omega again to create an unforgettable mentoring experience for the youth of the Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Chi Theta Omega Chapter proudly served at The Community Table through our Uplift Our Local Community Team, standing in partnership with Frederick Housing and Human Services to support neighbors across Frederick.

The Community Table Program serves a hot, nutritious dinner seven nights a week, 365 days a year to anyone in need. Each evening at 5:30 PM, community members can receive a warm meal prepared by a professional chef and served with care by dedicated volunteers.

Last week, our Empower Our Families Team, alongside the brothers of XXL - Xi Xi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., spent another inspiring afternoon with the brilliant scholars of the Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County

Through a series of fun, fast‑paced “Minute to Win It”–style stations, students explored Black History in motion:

• Designing and launching paper airplanes while learning about aviation pioneer Bessie Coleman
• Creating paper quilt squares inspired by artist Faith Ringgold
• Testing their balance and rhythm while discovering the legacy of Alvin Ailey
• And more hands‑on activities that brought history to life

Moments like these remind us that learning is powerful, engaging, and deeply connected to our commitment to serve the Frederick community. As Chi Theta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, we are proud to pour into the next generation with intention and fun.

Since Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Chi Theta Omega chapter was chartered in 2003, our chapter has been guided by phenomenal, transformational leaders, and today is no different. As we continue celebrating Women’s History Month, we are highlighting our CTO Presidential Team who are leading us with purpose, vision, and unwavering commitment.

Her reflection reminds us that leadership is more than a title. It is a responsibility rooted in service, courage, and the call to inspire Sorors to reach beyond the “right now.” Her journey in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® shows that women can become anything they work toward with faith, purpose, and vision.

Her full reflection is below:

For me, leadership bears a far greater responsibility than the word can imply. It's about utilizing my journey in Alpha Kappa Alpha to motivate and inspire Sorors to see beyond the 'right now', and to reach beyond what's always comfortable in making a lasting impact for change. I certainly did not get here on my own accord, and the work never comes to a state of completion. Women can be anything they have a heart's desire to work towards and the faith to believe even if it seems impossible.

Women’s History Month Spotlight

Did you know that Frederick County is the birthplace of a talented woman who performed with Black icons Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday?

Today we honor Margaret Ann “Sylvia” Anderson , a gifted singer, dancer, and musician whose roots began in Sunnyside, a Frederick County community.

She began singing as a child on her grandparents’ farm and in the Sunnyside church choir. Note that Ann did not like the farm life and after graduating from Lincoln High School at just 14 years old, she moved to New York and began dancing at Harlem’s legendary Cotton Club. Performing under the name Sylvia LaMont, she quickly became known for her smooth, sultry voice and magnetic stage presence.

In the 1940’s she began singing with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and in 1943, she married fellow musician Howard “Church” Anderson, and together they formed Three Strikes and a Miss with Charlie Harris and William Makel. The couple later branched out as The Two Hot Peppers —”Church” on piano, organ, bass, and accordion, and Sylvia accompanying him on bongos. She became especially known for her renditions of “Straighten Up and Fly Right” and “Memories of You.”

Their music took them across the United States and Canada, and locally they lit up Baltimore’s Black nightlife scene, performing at Block nightclubs and the Astoria on Edmondson Avenue.

In the mid‑1970s, Sylvia transitioned from the stage to community service, working at the Waxter Center for Senior Citizens until her retirement in 1980.

In 2001, Ann passed away in her West Baltimore home.

“My mom was a dancer, played the snare drums, and sang with a smooth, unforgettable voice. She is remembered and missed by many.” — Denise (Ann’s daughter)

A Frederick‑born artist. A trailblazer. A woman whose brilliance still echoes through the generations.

Our latest National Reading Month spotlight is Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown, a nonfiction social justice pick recommended by CTO member Dani H.

This is a book that I have to admit is a reread multiple times a year. As a person who deeply believes in social justice, in a world that wants us to fit in a box, this book fuels me to keep going. The book is about how we can all work together to have an impact as leaders, small collective actions to large scale systems change. Not relying on one leader, but channeling the power of adaptation and interdependence. If you have an issue with the push for hierarchy in systems, and know there is a better way, then this book is for you! Plus it's built around Octavia Butlers principals of Afro futurism so you know there's lots of gems to pick up.
