2026 Joint Georgia State Leadership Conference

A Message from the Sigma and Zeta Georgia State Directors

Greetings to Sigma Brothers, Zeta Sisters, Amicae, and Guests:

With hearts of gratitude, on behalf of the State of Georgia Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, we extend to you the warmest welcome to the 2026 Joint State Conference at the “Private Playground for Families,” Jekyll Island, Georgia.

This historic setting—rooted in legacy, partnerships for training, and the fellowship of our constitutional bond—offers the perfect backdrop for reflection, growth, and renewal. Jekyll Island carries a rich history for us, and we invite you to immerse yourself in every aspect of this year’s theme: "The Isle of Georgia, Where Hidden Histories Shape Visible Victories: Celebrate the Legacy, Leadership, and Lasting Impact of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated."

The Joint State Planning Committee encourages you to embrace this conference with anticipation—explore our shared history, strengthen your leadership, and celebrate the power of our community outreach.

So bring your island spirit and let us “Elevate the Bond” like never before!

We also extend heartfelt appreciation to our Joint Conference Planning Core Team: Dr. Carl Hall, Milrinette Nelson, Moncello Steward, Marissa Harvey, Ken Love, Sr., Monique Purifoy-Rojas, and Rasheed Marshall; along with the State of Georgia Executive Board, our host chapters—Alpha Omega Sigma (Hinesville), Lambda Beta Sigma (Brunswick), Tau Beta Sigma Chapter (Savannah), Eta Gamma Zeta Chapter (Brunswick), Chi Pi Zeta Chapter (Hinesville), Epsilon Xi Chapter (Georgia Southern University)—and the Amicae of Hinesville. With the state leadership and more importantly, each of you, members of the Georgia Blue and White family, Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta will Celebrate the Legacy, Leadership, and Lasting Impact.

Yours in the bond,
