Get out and vote! Early voting is open

Voting is a critical pathway to upward mobility, and you could have the chance to make your voice heard TODAY.

Did you know that people living in states with low voter turnout are more likely to report being in fair or poor health? Voters also report higher life satisfaction, better well-being, and stronger communities than non-voters.

Early voting for New York's June Primary Election is underway through June 21. Because New York's primary elections are closed, only voters registered with a political party can vote in that party's primary.

In-person voting will take place on Tuesday, June 23.

💙🤍 15 Years of Impact, One Enduring Legacy 🤍💙

As we continue our Road to 15 journey, we are honored to conclude our Charter Member Spotlight Series with one of the visionaries whose leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment helped bring Psi Omega Zeta Chapter to life — Charter Member, Soror Carla Facey (Spring 1993)! 💙

In this special feature, she reflects on some of the most profound questions about our chapter’s foundation and future:

💭 When you first imagined this chapter, what did you hope it would stand for?
💭 What does it mean to protect the chapter at all costs?
💭 If you could write a letter to Psi Omega Zeta today, what would it say?

Her reflections speak to the responsibility of stewardship, the power of vision, and the love that has sustained this chapter through nearly 15 years of service, sisterhood, scholarship, and finer womanhood! 💙🕊️

As we prepare to celebrate this milestone, we honor the women whose faith, sacrifice, and commitment created a legacy that continues to impact our community and inspire generations of Sorors! 🫶🏾

Tune in, listen closely, and hear from one of the women who helped write the first chapter of the Psi Omega Zeta story! 🤍
