Whereas, understanding that service to the community is its greatest legacy, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority engages in diverse activities ranging from giving financial assistance through its National Education Foundation to administering the organization's outstanding Z-HOPE program, formed during the tenure and under the leadership of South Carolina's own, Mrs. Barbara Crockett Moore, the twenty-second international president; and

Whereas, annually the phenomenal women of this organization take time from their busy schedules to acknowledge the work of the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives and the South Carolina Senate. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
