Parliamentary Corner
Who is Entitled to be Heard and When?
Any form of discussion on the merits of a motion is referred to as debate. Generally, you may not make a motion or
speak in debate unless you obtain the floor, by being recognized by the chair. (See the situations where you may speak
without recognition being required). You may not stand (waiting to be recognized) until after the current speaker has
yielded the floor.
When a motion is pending (during a debate), the sequence of events is as follows:
The current speaker ceases his/her debate and yields the floor.
Other speakers promptly stand and state "Mr./Ms. Chair".
The chair recognizes the speaker who is entitled to speak next, based
on the following general rules.
The first person who stood up AFTER the speaker yielded
the floor.
The maker of the motion, if he has not spoken yet.
Whoever has not spoken on this motion, this day.
The person presenting an opposing opinion to the last speaker. The chair must allow the floor to alternate between opposing views.
If the chair fails to follow these rules, any member may raise a 'Point
of Order' or' Appeal from the Decision of the Chair.'
When a motion is NOT pending, any of the following sequences apply:
Member A has been assigned to make a motion. Member A is entitled to speak next.
Member B lays a motion on the table. Member B is entitled to speak next in order to take the motion
from the Table.
Member C moved to suspend the Orders of the Day in order to enable a certain motion be made.
Member C is entitled to speak next and make that certain motion.
Member D urges the defeat of a motion so as to offer an alternate motion. Member D is entitled to
speak next and make that alternate motion.
Member E states he/she wishes to reconsider the vote on a motion. Member E is entitled to speak next.

The Z-HOPE Initiative for the 2016 New Jersey State Conference is
Say Cheese - A Healthy Smile for Seniors. We will collect oral
care toiletries for seniors that include but are not limited to: toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, denture fixative, denture
cleaner, etc. Please be mindful when purchasing products that they
are for seniors so try to get items that are gentle (such as soft or medium toothbrushes, toothpaste that is not extreme whitening, etc.)
The items will be donated to the Burlington County Aging and Disability Resource Center. The resource center services seniors 60+
years of age at 4 local senior centers and home-bound seniors
throughout Burlington County. The resource center is very excited about partnering with us for this initiative so lets
show them we mean business when it comes to community service especially since it is one of our founding principles!
Our goal is 2,000 items and the point scale for this initiative is as follows:
Graduate Chapters and Amicae Auxiliaries
25 items = 25 points
50 items = 50 points
75 items = 75 points
100 items = 100 points
*Please note, if you have large items in multi packs such as toothbrushes or toothpaste then each item in the multi pack
counts as 1 item. However, multiple small items in a pack, such as floss picks, count as 1 item. Also, please count
your items in advance and report them by category such as the number of toothbrushes, number of toothpaste tubes,
number of floss packs, etc.
Please use the National Z-HOPE Reporting Form for this initiative and use the code S2S13 for Seniors/Spirit (Meeting
the Basic Needs). We will have reporting forms on site as well.
The collection times will be on Friday, April 22, 2016 from 5:00pm to 6:00pm and Saturday, April 23, 2016 from
7:00am to 8:00am only. Please advise your chapter family of this initiative and if you have any concerns, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Thank you in advance for donating towards this cause, and as always #BeFiner.

ZETA SISTERHOOD
Reclaiming as a Dove
Patricia K. Thomas became a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Phi Chapter
on December 10, 1960 at Virginia State College (now Virginia State University), Petersburg, Virginia. After graduating and then relocating, she did not
become affiliated with another chapter. Last year a fellow Divine Nine Member emailed her the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority interest flyer for a new Chapter in
Monmouth County, NJ.
Now 50 plus years later, she is a Reclaimed Charter member of the Alpha Alpha Chi Zeta Chapter. Also, she was first surprised and then elated to learn
that she is a Zeta Dove. Longevity has its privileges and because of her years
as a Soror, she is a member of that elite group. Her joy is again carrying out
the goals and objectives of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and being involved in its
activities. She is the Soror who has the title of Miss in front of her first
name. Most of her chapter Sorors could be her daughters or granddaughters
and for this reason she is always treated with extra care respect, with Sorors
making extra efforts to keep Miss Pat included and informed. Additionally,
she enjoys having that sisterly bonding, sharing experiences and offering advice when asked. While she appreciates the other community service organizations for women in which she has been and is still involved, the strong bond is not there. Its A Zeta Thing!
Soror Yvette Ridley, Third Anti Basileus of Rho Tau Zeta chapter visited the YCS Fort Lee Education Center where
Soror Kiana Lawhorn of Eta Omicron Zeta chapter is Assistant Principal. During her visit she had the pleasure of leading a discussion with the young female students about the importance of furthering their education, setting goals and
making sound choices. Members of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. spoke with the young men. The YCS Fort Lee Education Center was Adopted by Rho Tau Zeta at the beginning of the 2015/2016 sorority year.
