Chapter History

The Chartering of Augusta Xi

On August 19, 2016, we were chartered as the Xi Chapter of Kappa Epsilon Psi Military Sorority, Inc. Two dynamic women, Marilyn Norris and Iasha Nichols, led the efforts towards chartering. Eight dedicated Sorors (Tamica Simmons, Rose Williams, Marilyn Norris, Veronica Tall, Kenya Walker, Elizabeth Drayton*, Shannee Thomas*, and Iasha Nichols*) completed all expansion requirements ahead of schedule and signed our charter. Their actions officially stood up Augusta Xi as a chapter.

History & Accomplishments

Since the inception of the Augusta Xi Chapter in August 2016, we have labored diligently through community outreach efforts to leave our mark. During Reveille in 2019, the Augusta Xi Chapter received recognition for its members’ hard work and commitment. The Chapter also had numerous substantial promotions. We are inspired and encouraged by all of the great people we meet along the way, working to make this community great!

The Chapter currently has 75+ active members on its roster. Augusta Xi is exceptionally busy in its local communities and is proud to have active memberships on the Augusta Chamber of Commerce and Private Organization affiliation on Fort Gordon, Georgia. We volunteer our time serving on mentorship programs in several local grade schools and service to many local charitable organizations.

Ryan was beloved by so many people for his love of service to his community. He was an active volunteer and music director at Camp Big Heart in Fort Valley, GA. He also served in the Boy Scouts and was a volunteer for Communities in Schools and Golden Harvest Food Bank. After graduating high school Ryan enrolled at Virginia Tech where he triple-majored in Psychology, Biology and English. Ryan was also a beloved member of the Marching Virginians Band at Virginia Tech, where he was affectionately known as “Stack”. He had a perfect 4.0 average and was set to graduate in May 2007. Unfortunately, on April 16, 2007, Ryan’s life was tragically taken when he went to help another student during the Virginia Tech Massacre. His last act on earth was like so many before that: helping others in need.
