Jahana Hayes‚ who broke ground as Connecticuts first Black congresswoman isnt part of the Divine Nine (the well-known Black Greek organizations) but that hasnt stopped them from treating her like one of their own
The re-election campaign of this ground-breaking politician has seen un-expected help from these historic Black sororities and fraternities — their members showing up like they would for a fellow-member. Members of these long-standing organizations have stepped-up in various ways: making phone-calls to voters organizing fund-raisers and walking door-to-door
The support from these Greek letter groups has been wide-ranging including:
- Free legal advice from members
- Presence at campaign events
- Voter outreach programs
- Door-knocking initiatives
- Fund-raising activities
Even though shes not officially a soror (the special term these groups use for sorority sisters)‚ the Divine Nine members have embraced her campaign with enthusiasm — showing up at events to cheer her on and offer their full-hearted support
