The
University of Florida Chapter of SISTUHS, Inc. was established
in the spring of 1998. The original UF Chapter was established
by Shante’ Collins, Myrland Etienne, Edelyne Guerrier,
Evelyn Harocopos, Shakisha Harris, Evelyn Hernandez, Jessica
Montalvo, Litza Rivera, and Kimberly Snelling, who was
also the first president of the chapter. The original UF
Chapter was the first Chapter of SISTUHS, Inc. to induct
a substantial number of Latin-American women.
After a period of activity, the UF chapter became inactive,
but in January of 2003, a new group of determined young
ladies set out to get SISTUHS, Inc. back on the UF campus.
With their hard work and dedication, the University of
Florida Chapter of SISTUHS, Inc. was reestablished on
March 13, 2003. The new members of this chapter were:
Jazmyn Alston, Susan Ban, Tarena Franks, Thea Hammond,
Andrea Hayes, Jasmine Jones, Kenyetta Mullins, Sherika
Murray, Monique Payton, Philiane Phang, Modoline Pierre,
Raeloni Richards, Lauren Taylor, Kamika Walsh, and Robyn
Waterman, with Monique Payton being the new president.
In the Fall of 2003, Jazmyn Alston, Andrea Hayes, and
Monique Payton attended the SISTUHS, Inc. National Conference
in Tallahassee, Florida as representatives for the UF
Chapter. At this conference President Monique Payton
received the Directress's MVP Award for her outstanding
determination to reestablishing the University of Florida
Chapter. The University of Florida Chapter was also recognized
for its hard work in reestablishing SISTUHS, Incorporated
on their campus. On October 2, 2003 the newly reestablished
chapter held their first Informational Meeting and later
inducted 18 new members into SISTUHS, Inc. on December
6, 2003.
