Summary
Representatives of several historically African American fraternities and sororities described scholarships, youth programs, health initiatives, and voter‑education efforts and invited commissioners and residents to upcoming events and collaborations.
Members of several Divine 9 organizations, including Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, Phi Beta Sigma, Sigma Gamma Rho, Zeta Phi Beta, and Iota Phi Theta, presented brief overviews of their local chapter activities: scholarship programs, youth leadership initiatives, book-bag and school‑support events, health and safety programs, and senior support.

Organizers asked the board to support community programs and noted that many chapters offer volunteer assistance, scholarships, and civic-engagement work across Bertie and neighboring counties.
