SAMPLE CHAPTER ENDORSEMENT LETTER (Basileus as Nominee)
ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INCORPORATED
Omega Phi Omega Chapter
Ivyville, Georgia
(Date)
(Letter addressed to: Chairman, International Nominating Committee)
Dear Soror Dill:
The sorors of Omega Phi Omega Chapter are pleased to present Soror Beatrice Vine, Basileus, as
a nominee for office of Regional Director.
Soror Vine has been a true moving spirit within our chapter. She is presently serving her second
term as Basileus of our chapter. Our terms of office are two years and Soror Dill served 2010
2011 and again beginning in 2018. During her administration, we have experienced great
improvement in chapter operations and sisterly relations have hit an all-time high! Soror Vine
has taken the words, “we help each other” to heart and has motivated all of the officers to conduct
mini-leadership workshops for their respective committees, so that the entire chapter can excel to
greater heights. We are amazed at how much Soror Vine accomplishes within a short time period.
She not only provides superb leadership as Basileus, but she also sets the example of working at
and participating in all of our chapter’s community service projects and through her attendance
at many committee meetings.
Soror Vine exhibits this same aggressiveness and zest for participation outside of Alpha Kappa
Alpha. She is an ardent member of St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church where she
serves as the president of the Pulpit Aid Board and Superintendent of the Sunday school. She
maintains a very active membership in the local branch of the NAACP, where she serves as
recording secretary. Soror Vine also maintains membership in several other civic and
professional organizations.
The sorors of Omega Phi Omega Chapter have literally named Soror Vine as the "Moving Spirit"
of the chapter. She has been recognized twice as Soror of the Year and has earned the award of
Officer of the Year three times since becoming a member of our chapter. Other offices held in our
chapter include Graduate Advisor, Grammateus and Hodegos.
The chapter wholeheartedly supports the nomination of Soror Vine for Regional Director. A vote
was taken at our regular sorority meeting held on September 2, 2011, and Soror Vine received
a favorable vote. Soror Vine is qualified to seek this office because of her unique interpersonal,
organizational and managerial skills. Her leadership skills are superb and will blend right in
with the responsibilities of a Regional Director.
Sincerely,
_______________________ ____________________________
