Awww.... The Strugles of Being A Small Struggling Orginzation...

Yea.. I know we stated before that SASY was created in 1995, but it went into a recession period until about the 2006 when another group of girls tried to start the program back up but it didn't work .... but in the fall of 2008 the program hit the jackpot with the two cordantiors Christian Breedy and Brittany Harrision. These two young ladies started the program in the fall of 2008 with a dream. Our first semester was a lil shaky, 1st we had all these lil sisters come out, and then the next week some stop coming and after a few weeks latter they all stooped coming And all we had left was a bunch of big sisters. Then we had no place to meet, montbello was too far and we had to run and find a room in the Jenkins's building. The biggest problem of all was that we had nooooooo money, not a dime to the organization's name. Since we are struggling college students are self's we had no money to give to the organization.


This semester we made a few changes , we gained new members and lost some but thats cool. We deiced to go recruit high school girls. we visited the different high schools in Baltimore city during the school day , walked around during the kids lunch periods and gave them the information about the program our self's. Instead of us reallying on people to convey the information for us. of course some girls fall out of the program , come one day stop coming and things like that, but we are working our best to keep the girls involved in the program to make them want to come next year and bring some friends along with them. Second, we found us a home meeting place in Jenkins building this semester, hopefully next semester we can keep meting there. We still have ONE MAJOR problem... we have NO MONEY. This semester we have raised a few dollars by our swore jar. So if you use any bad language you have to pay 50. Also we had a bake sale in different locations on the same day and we made about $60 dollars. But most of the things that we need for the organization we usually come out of our pockets for if the girls need snacks, fair for the bus home and anything that we might need if the organization the big sisters come out of there pocket for. For example, Christian Breedy took a few girls on a college tour to Howard and Bowie State University. Even thought christian told them to bring there own lunch a lot of the girls couldn't afford to bring there own lunch so christian had to pay for 5 girls to eat lunch during the trip not including her self. The things that we try to do for these girls takes a lot of time and hard work that the big sisters put in to make sure the girls are enjoying the experience that we are trying to give them .

NEXT YEAR IS GONNA BE BIGGER AND BETTER!!!!!!

And The Winner is...not SASY

So... SASY has been nominated for two awards this semester... one for outstanding female organization at the Outstanding Morgan Women Banquet and we where also nominated for Outstanding Non-Greek Organization in the first annual Alpha Iota Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi's Kappa Awards and.... we lost both.


SASY hasn't even been on campus for a year so its a great thing we have been nominated for these two awards. But the people that we are competing are wayyy bigger organizations. The young women christian Association who where are competition in both awards has over 1 hundred active members on this campus, and The National Association of Colored Women are also another huge organization on campus that has about 1 hundred active members also. We have about 30 members in our organization, also these organizations are just a chapter of a huge organization that has thousands of members. we are the alpha and the only one. They are also supported by the headquarters that gives them a budget to work with for the different activity's that the organization puts on.

I hope for next year that people will see us as a campus organization that work hard for the betterment of the community and the university.

WATCH OUT FOR US IN FALL 2009

WHAT IS SASY????

Sisters Advancing Sisterhood in the youth is a program that was created in 1995 on the campus of Morgan State University by Kathy Brantley and Karissa Talaiferro. S.A.S.Y is designed to help better the social ailments of women by reason of the lack of unity and sisterhood in the community. SASY is able to bring women together to work for a common goal; the love of self. The greatest love of all can be considered the one of self-love. Self- esteem and self-pride are the basic principles of the life and the differences between success and failure.

S.A.S.Y is a group of young college women who mentor high school females in four areas; beauty, health and fitness, sex education, and secondary education. The program meets twice a week on Morgan State University's campus and one Saturday of each month. S.A.S.Y is designed to enrich each student's life. The focus are self-esteem and sisterhood. The ultimate goal of the program is to bring women together to create a common goal among females. SASY increases sisterhood by incorporating activities that center around the program's four components. We encourge all students to stray from negative behavior and influence them to allways voulnter in the community. SASY is devoted to helping those who are less fortuate than ourselves.

In conclusion, Sisters Advanicing Sisterhood in Youth was create dby two women who had a dream of unifying women. A dream that women would not be sperated by fads, looks or men.
