Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated - Epsilon Theta Zeta Chapter hosted its 53rd annual Debutante-Beautillion Scholarship Program. During the program, students engaged in workshops aimed at helping them prepare for college and future life endeavors. These workshops covered topics such as financial assistance, establishing credit, and managing finances. In addition to this, the participants also volunteered alongside the sorority to clean and maintain Planters Park as part of their community service efforts. The students involved in this program were from Nansemond River High School, Manor High School, and Kecoughtan High School. Together with their parents and mentors, they dedicated three months to fundraising for scholarships, successfully garnering over $7,000 in scholarship funds.
