On September 16th Sigma Lambda Omega Chapter spearheaded the inaugural GREENwell SoCal a joint community service and sisterhood event dedicated to cleaning up local waterways and parks. Co-created by its chapter members Tamla Roberts and Michelle Watson, the event was held on International Coastal Cleanup Day in partnership with the environmental non-profit organization, Heal the Bay. Twenty-one (21) graduate AKA chapters located in Southern California (SoCal) and Hawaii participated. Nearly 500 volunteers collected more than a half-ton of trash in their respective communities. Members of Sigma Lambda Omega Chapter along with local community volunteers cleaned up Lake Balboa in Van Nuys, CA. Afterward, nearly 200 AKA graduate sorority sisters made up of active graduate chapter members, general members, and inactive members, convened at Crescent Bay Park, part of Santa Monica’s historic Inkwell for a party with a green cause. The culminating activity was a final cleanup of Crescent Bay Park. With the success of the event, AKA graduate members are looking forward to making our local communities cleaner and greener through service and sisterhood again in the future.
