Theta in the Media
WAPT-ABC
Jackson, Miss. - In honor of American Heart Month, a sorority held a virtual program to discuss heart disease and its impact among women.
Tonya Franklin and her sisters of the Jackson Chapter of Alpha Omega Theta sorority hosted the program Friday.
“We wanted to do this event to bring not only awareness to heart disease, but also to provide information and resources that are accessible,” Franklin said. “Because of a lot of times, we know that there’s a problem, but we don’t think there’s a solution, or that there’s help that’s available to us.” (click HERE to read more)
