On Sunday, November 16, 2003, Zeta Phi
Beta Sorority joined the fight against premature birth by holding "Zeta
Prematurity Awareness Sunday," two days before the March of Dimes National Prematurity Awareness Day.

The members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority,
Inc. coordinated their efforts with religious leaders in communities
across the country to raise awareness of this common, serious and
costly problem by reaching people through their places of worship. On
this special Sunday, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. chapters reached out
to congregations through church bulletins, announcements and table
displays.

In 2003, Zeta Prematurity Awareness
Sunday reached over 150,000 people, and has become an annual project
with growing participation.

As a partner with the March of Dimes,
Sigma Nu Zeta Chapter has participated annually in the WalkAmerica
Fundraising campaign. Each year we have made significant contributions
to the March of Dimes through this fundraising effort. We have also
participated in their Banding Together fundraiser.

In November 2005, Sigma Nu Zeta Chapter
in conjunction with the March of Dimes and North General Hospital held
a press conference to announce our partnership to establish a Stork's
Nest program to provide additional service to the community that we
serve. The Stork's Nest at North General Hospital had it first baby shower
on May 11, 2006 and will soon be awarding it's first round of
participants with baby care items they have earned through their
participation in the pre-natal classes given as part of the program.

The Stork's Nest program was launched
nationally in 1972. This program has both service and educational
components. The service component is in the establishment of a
distribution site, the "Nest," where expectant mothers, referred by
cooperating hospitals, clinics, and health centers, can get necessary
items such as maternity clothes, layettes and furniture at minimal or
no cost. The educational component consists of seven sessions covering
prenatal care, nutrition, drugs, alcohol and smoking, genetics, infant
care and parenting.
