Volunteerism is one of the mainstays
of most public service organizations.
Here at Winston-Salem State
University, fraternities, sororities and
other organizations, throughout the year,
stay very busy volunteering with
community groups.
The new members of Gamma
Lambda Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority Inc., spent spring semester
volunteering at the Sims Center in
Happy Hill Garden. This recreation
center provides children of all ages in
the community the opportunity to receive
tutoring and have supervised fun after
school. In order for the students to
participate in the activities that are
provided it is imperative that their school
work is completed first.
The chapter's volunteerism activities
helped them to receive an award from the
center for their outstanding community
service.
Heather Zimmerman, a member of
the chapter said, “ I enjoy enriching and
helping the kids. We are not just helping
the kids with homework, we are being
positive role models for them, as well as
mentors.” This is Zimmerman, an
education major, first semester
volunteering at the Sims Center.

Sharon F. Griffin, who spent two
years living in post-apartheid South
Africa after it became a democratic
society and backpacked to 18 countries in
West, Central, East and Southern Africa,
had much to say to her audience in
WSSU’s Dillard Auditorium.
Griffin told the audience that we
must all find our place in the world and
our purpose for being placed here. She
emphasized the importance of learning a
second language, traveling outside of

your environment and getting a passport.
"As WSSU students, you must learn
a second language," she said. "Children
in other countries learn to speak other
languages including their native
language."
"Twenty years from now, Hispanics
will be members of the largest minority
group in the U.S. and that many of the
students would probably be speaking
Chinese because they would be working
