History of Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc.


The spring semester of the year 1990, was a period of rapid and enriching growth for the founders of Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc. The spark that started the fire was the salvation of one of the founders, Tyesha Elam. This event was a result of the joint effort of the three remaining founders: Amanda Tezeno-Broussard, Dawn Walton-Eberhart, and Terra Delaney-O’Brien. Thus, the rebirth of one of the founders indirectly resulted in the birth of Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc.

The date was March 23, 1990. Through an abundance of brainstorming and divine revelation, the group came up with the name of the organization, its mascot, the colors, the purpose, and the motto. The group knew this was something the Lord wanted them to do, because in the book of Matthew 18:20 it states,

Thus, stepping out on faith to do the will of the Lord, led to the establishment of Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc.

Jesus never fails! On April 9, 1990 Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc. was approved as a registered student organization. The first charter line consisted of nine ladies during the spring of 1991. By the spring of 1992 and new chapter was charted at Prairie View A & M University. The organization has been growing ever since.

History of the Zeta Joshua Chapter 
 

After being introduced to Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc. for the first time at the University of Texas Innervisions Choir’s College Day, Patricia Griffin felt in her spirit this organization was needed at Southwest Texas State University (aka Texas State University). After finding other interested women, Annisha Jara' Downs helped Patricia write and send the interest letter to the National office.  

Many semesters passed, but finally in the summer of 2000, Patricia was contacted by National Director Sharon Scott. The first informal interest meeting was held October 31, 2000 with Sheri Williams. After meeting with Student Organizations Coordinator Terence Parker, Patricia and Jarà had all the paperwork necessary to register the chapter. 

It was a long online process filled with tears, doubts, arguments, laughter, joy, and lots of prayer. With God’s grace, the first line of the Zeta Joshua chapter crossed April 21, 2001 in Austin at the UT campus.

The line name was Spiritually Blessed (Galatians 5:22-23) with the following eight chartering members: Annisha Jarà Downs, Patricia Griffin, Kari Williams, Shawnita Weston, Crystal Pollard, Dwan Ervin, Latoya Haywood, and Katora Stallworth.  Joyce Lawson served as the Faculty Advisor. Zeta Joshua became a registered student organization on April 30, 2001 making it the sixth chapter of Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc.
