Shirley Brinson Marshall Slated for Coronation as 2024-2025 Chapter Queen!

Shirley Brinson Marshall has been selected as Chapter Queen for the upcoming  homecoming season. She will be crowned during the coronation ceremony on October 24, 2024 and serve for one year. Shirley is a very active member serving as chair of the membership committee and providing volunteer services in her community and AKA Sorority. Because she did not get to enjoy the privileges and recognition of a chapter queen due to the COVID-19 SHUT down in 2020, the chapter decided to give her a second chance. 

​

Congratulations, Queen-Elect Shirley Marshall!
