After much reflection, I have decided to offer myself to our great sisterhood as a candidate for the

enhanced. I believe ―Membership is Key‖ and my platform will speak to the services I plan to deliver as
National First Anti Basileus, in order to grow and enhance our membership.
My platform initiatives for delivering services as the National 1 st Anti-Basileus are as follows:

Create a standardized membership statistical report format to be updated and posted to the Nationa
Website on a monthly basis.

brightest to the organization.

Parliamentary Corner*
By Soror Titessa Smith, State Parliamentarian
In light of our upcoming state election, below are tips regarding the voting process.
Counting Votes/Voting Results
Majority:
Does Robert mean
... the Majority of the entire membership?
... the Majority of the members present?
... the Majority of the Votes Cast?
How should you count the blank votes, the illegal votes, the abstentions?
The basic requirement for adoption of a motion by any assembly with a quorum is a Majority Vote
except for certain motions as listed below . A Majority is 'more than half' of the votes cast by persons legally
entitled to vote, excluding blank votes and abstentions. Majority does not mean 51%. In a situation with 100
votes, Majority = 501 votes; but 51% = 510 votes.
Let's see an example:
The chair instructed the members, at a meeting with a quorum, to vote by writing 'Yes' or 'No' on a piec
of paper.
Of the members present, 100 were entitled to vote, but 15 did not cast a ballot. Of the 85 votes cast: 75
were legal; 10 were illegal (the members wrote 'Maybe'); and 4 were turned in blank (abstained).
The Majority is any number larger than one half of the total of ... (legal votes cast) - (blank votes cast) +
(illegal votes cast). Of the 85 Votes Cast by members entitled to vote ... (75 were valid) - (4 were blank) + (10 were illegal) =
81 Votes Cast.
One half of 81 Votes Cast is 40 1/2. Majority was 41 votes.
2/3 Vote:
Robert specifies which motion will require at least a 2/3 vote for adoption. Notice that it is not calle
a 2/3 majority. A 2/3 vote is generally not taken as a voice vote, but rather as a standing count, or some
other easily countable fashion. Generally speaking, a 2/3 vote is required for adoption of any motion
which ...1. Suspends or modifies a rule of order already adopted;
2. Prevents the introduction of a question to consideration;
3. Closes, limits, or extends the limits of debate;
4. Closes nominations or the polls;
5. Takes away membership or office.

New Jersey State Z-HOPE Initiative 2014
Benefitting St Jude Children’s Research Hospital
When late entertainer Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 1962, he
was not just changing the lives of those children who would walk through its doors. He was changing lives
across the world. The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of
prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of
founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
In support of the national partnership between Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and St. Jude, the State of New Jersey
is proud to announce that the 2014 Initiative will benefit St. Jude.

Zeta Delta Zeta Chapter Presents at Youth Symposium
O n Saturday March 8, Zeta Delta Zeta Chapter presented a
Bullying Workshop at the NPHC of Burlington County Youth
Symposium hosted by Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. (South Jer-
sey).
As part of the presentation, ZDZ Sorors Kecia Taylor and
Nicole Gaspard-Tovar selected a panel of youth (winners of Bully-
ing Bingo) to represent towns people in a scenario involving bul-
lying and suicide. In this interactive presentation, the youth role
played all of the people involved in the case (law enforcement,
mother of the bully, mother of the child being bullied, mayor,
etc.). Members of the audience (including our own Zeta Delta Zeta
Amicettes, other members of the Divine 9, Girls Scouts, Girls of
Grace) acted as town people voicing their opinions about the
punishment the bully should receive. The scenario came to life
when it was proposed that the bully's mother could also face
punishment.
The objective was to get the youth to understand that bul-
lying is costly mentally, physically and certainly financially and
that they could do their part in bullying prevention. Zeta Delta
Zeta Sorors also presented a quick discussion regarding the dif-
ference between "snitching" and "reporting.‖ However due to time
constraints caused by the enthusiastic engagement of the youth
during the town hall portion (it was a success!), were limited in
leading this discussion further.
