Mission Statement

To promote public awareness and support the value of sisterhood, professionalism, and community service while representing a character of integrity.

Our History
Tawana Gibbs (Co-founding President), Felicia Kidd (Co-Founder) and Ashley Scott (Co-Founder) were friends/roomates that attended Savannah State University and formed the group eight years ago.

The intention of the organization began with college roommates wanting to promote sisterhood throughout the campus of Savannah State University .  The women were trying to figure out a way to eliminate barriers that constantly tear women apart.  The ladies had the idea that if they could promote sisterhood, honesty, and reliability to females, then that alone would constitute in making a difference within themselves as well as others.

Their first unofficial meeting was held on July 24, 2001.  The vision, mission statement, objectives, and concepts were developed in this meeting.  On September 4, 2001 the first formal meeting was held and by January 2002, there was an established foundation with seventeen Chartered Members.  A Confidentiality statement was signed by all members including the advisor and by fall of 2002, SSE became an influential and respected organization.  In 2008, Terika Slocumb (SSE President 2008-2010) helped the organization reach another milestone by having SSE Incorporated.
