In January 2003, members gathered to participate in
the "Good Character" workshop as part of the new International Complete Sister program. We were challenged to think about
activities that we had participated in since being collegians (some of us have had more time to "make a mark" than others)
and note how those activities promote a higher spiritual, mental, and social culture . Ultimately, meeting the object
of our organization, "To Promote the Highest Type of Womanhood."
