Saginaw Alumnae Chapter History
The Saginaw Alumnae Chapter (SAC) is celebrating 55 years of distinguished service and impactful achievement in the Saginaw/Bay community. In keeping, SAC’s 2022-2024 biennial theme is “Embracing Sisterhood: 55 Years Elevating, Impacting and Empowering Our Youth and Community.
Soror Jane McGhee’s efforts to convince 12 young ladies to become charter members culminated with SAC’s chartering on October 28, 1967. Since then, SAC continues to serve and honor the legacy of Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service and Social Action, with a focus on empowering the Saginaw/Bay Community through strategic engagement.
Since its chartering, the Saginaw Alumnae Chapter has been a pillar in the community rendering countless hours of service and remaining dedicated to social action. Chapter members collectively work together with community partners to develop and implement programs that benefit the City of Saginaw.
Social Action initiatives and collaborative alliances that have been developed with many community organization that include: NAACP, Black Nurses Association, League of Women Voters, Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum, Pulse 3, Health Fair and Zeta Phi Beta, Saginaw Sorority Sisters, Saginaw African Cultural Festival, Saginaw STEM, the NeighB community center youth STEM program, along with area community churches with the Read-In Chain and the Gospel Praise Brunch.
Each alliance with programs and agencies aims to promote at least one of our five-point programmatic thrusts: Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement on a local, state, national and/or international level.
