UEO Celebrates 30 Years!

UEO Inspired to Serve

Service is at the heart of Upsilon Epsilon Omega. In the summer of 1991, Dolores Morton Spriggs, Gretchen Styles, and Juanita A. Tillery recognized a need to establish a chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® to provide programs of service to the Baltimore County area. On July 10, 1991, these three visionaries formed the Ladies of Vision interest group for the Baltimore County chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Over the next three years, other ladies joined with these ladies and on June 26, 1994, the Upsilon Epsilon Omega (UEO) Chapter was chartered in a ceremony conducted at Martin's West by Erma W. Barron, who served as the North Atlantic Regional Director.

Chartering members include Joy Alford Graham, Princess F. Battle, Patricia T. Brent, Vanessa D’Arville, Brenda Davis, Linda Davis, Donna Dawson, Monica L. Gaines, Carol Hayward-Faulk, De Borah Holt, L. Michelle Jackson, Tammy L. Jones, Leslie S. Lyles, Lisa L. Mack, P. Dolores Mbah, Thetius Saunders, Greer Shorter, Dolores Morton Spriggs, Gretchen Styles, Juanita A. Tillery, and Ursula Walston.

Highlights of community service initiatives include: The Sexual Assault Recovery Center, The House of Ruth, St. Vincent’s Center, Black Dollar Month, National Family Volunteer Day, Annual MLK “Creative Expressions” Essay Contest, Annual Science Bee, Holiday Basket Give-Away, The Hillendale PAL Center, Teen IVY Academy, Free Community Shred Days, Voter Registration Drives, Rebuild Together, “Blessings”.
