In the years since Sigma Tau Omega was chartered, the chapter has begun each year with a variety of goals and programs that meet the targets set by the International Office.

The 2008-2010 Chapter Program will closely follow the AKA Extraordinary Service Program: Economics, Sisterhood and Partnerships.

The Program includes the following platforms:
Platform I: The Non-Traditional Entrepreneur
Platform II: Economic Keys to Success
Platform III: The Economic Growth of the Black Family
Platform V: Health Resources Management and Economics

The Program Committee, chaired by the chapter's Vice President, is implementing these platforms through the work of four sub-committees:

• Community Outreach
• Economics
• Education
• Health

The scope of this program is to provide mentoring over at least a two-year period for female students transitioning from elementary to middle school that will focus on character, social, and leadership development.

The proposed outcomes are: smooth transition to middle school, successful middle school career, and strengthening of student's self confidence and esteem. Targeted participants may be from any income level but must have a C average.

The program will include group sessions from October to May on the 3rd Saturday of the month with two other forms of mentor/student contact each month, i.e. face to face, phone, or email, and supplemental cultural activities throughout the year.

Educational academic and financial needs scholarships are given each year. The Collegiate Scholarships are open to:

1. African American high school seniors who will graduate from Athens Drive, Cary, Middle Creek, Fuquay-Varina, Apex and Green Hope High Schools or whose primary residence is in Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Morrisville, and Fuquay-Varina with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
                                      AND
2. Seniors who will study full time at an accredited two or four-year college in the fall of the current year.

From May 1– June 1, we will ask each chapter member to submit the name of at least one black-owned business that they patronize. We then create a webpage listing each of these businesses by service categories including active links to their websites. This webpage will be accessible to the public from our chapter and foundation websites.
