Each year the chapter implements a full program agenda that encompasses each aspect of the Sorority's Five Point Programmatic Thrust.

At present, the chapter has 32 members. All of whom hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree and a large percentage of whom have advanced degrees. Professional disciplines of the members encompass the fields of education, social work, finance, medical, environmental, entrepreneurship, religion, consulting, human services, state and federal government.
