Social Action
Nu Xi Zeta educates and registers voters at the DC Black Family Reunion
NOVA Coalition - The Chapter has a history of encouraging change in our communities through social action. Through the NOVA Coalition led by the Northern Virginia Urban League, the chapter registered, educated and empowered voters in the November 2008 election cycle and is currently working with the Coalition to restore voting rights for felons in Virginia.
Candidate Forums - As a part of our national service initiative, Zetas Helping Other People Excel (ZHOPE), the Nu Xi Zeta chapter encourages our community to not only vote, but to also have knowledge of the issues and the candidates. Every year, Nu Xi Zeta participates in candidate forums to educate the community.
Local Government Participation - In conjunction with our national partnership with the March of Dimes Prematurity Campaign, the chapter has presented information on prematurity rates in the black community to the Alexandria City Council and proposed solutions for how local government can help decrease these rates. We also participate in various political networking events.
Visiting with Legislators - ( Richmond and Washington , D.C.) - Nu Xi Zeta regularly goes to Capitol Hill and Richmond, VA to learn about current legislation and to educate our legislators on issues of importance to our community.
