Four former collegiate chapter
members from the FSU, USF, and FAMU chapters of SISTUHS,
Incorporated began to brainstorm in March 2003, the possibility
of starting a professional chapter in their hometown of
Tampa, Florida. Tommietta Green, Keneitha Monroe, Amelia
Howard, and Cilicia Prince organized and executed several
Informational Meetings and sought out SISTUHS who had graduated
from their respective chapters.
By June 7, 2003, the individuals were pleased to realize
that they had acquired 15 former collegiate members and
were well on the way to be an official chapter.
The Rites of Passage began on July 26, 2003. The chapter
installed its first five elected Executive Board members
on August 3, 2003, the official charter date. National Directress,
Debra Wright, and the National Board members assisted. The
first Executive Board for the Tampa, Florida Professional
Chapter consisted of: Tommietta Green, President; Keneitha
Monroe, Vice President; Samantha Holmes, Secretary; Amber
Lamar, Treasurer; and Hazel Medford, Parliamentarian.
