LADIES OF TRUE ESSENCE
Hello, my name is Chela Rutlin. I am 25 years old and was born and raised in St. Louis. I recently graduated from Southeast Missouri State University with a Master of Arts degree in Community Counseling. Here in St. Louis, I work at Mers-Goodwill Industries as an Employment Specialist, and I'm currently working on my counseling license at this company. I also work at a local, Christian-based, dance studio (as dancing is my passion), teaching young children and teens the genres of tap, Christian "hiphop", and jazz. I LOVE this job!!!! God has really had His hand of favor over my life, as I grew up healthy and happy. He has blessed me with caring and responsible parents, who I learn from each day. I grew up in a small Episcopal (conservative) church, but didn't come to establish a personal relationship with God until I went to college. Now that I am growing in this relationship with the Father, God has shown me the role I am to play in my home. And I am excited to see the fruition of His work in each member of my family!
All in all, I am a simple person who loves the Lord and has a desire to reach His heart (without all the fluff, hooping & hollering). I desire for all to accept Him and grow in Him. In 2005, God put it on my heart to help found Gamma Chi Epsilon, to gather women who also love the Lord and have similar desires to serve. I truly love this ministry, I love what God has done in this ministry, and I'm excited to see what He's going to do with us in the future!!

Hello, my name is Arsenia Tate. I’m 25-years old and I was born & raised in St. Louis, MO. I must say that 2008 has truly been a year of “New Beginnings” for me. This year I have graduated from Southeast Missouri State University, had my “25th” birthday and got married to my husband Chaun and recently started on a Certificate of Christian Counseling at The City College of Ministry.
I currently work for a non-profit called "Faithful Friends" that provides at-risk children with mentors (called Friends). This program provides children with Friends (mentors) starting from K until they complete high school. I have 8 girls that I mentor and spend a minimum of 2 hours in school and 2 hours outside of school with them. The goal is to get these kids at an early age so that their path can be re-directed. There are 3 long-term goals that Faithful Friends strive for; 1. Prevent early parenting, 2. High School diploma or GED, and 3. Avoid juvenile system. http://www.thefaithfulfriends.org/
A little bit about my personality…ummm I think I pretty laid back, quiet or even shy at times. I’ve gained the title “Mama Cindy” from friends and sorors cause they say I act like a mom LOL! I’m very hands-on and creative, I love photography, I love to shop (even if it’s not for myself). And most of all I love my family!
I’ve been told before that I “think BIG” I have so many dreams and things that I want to achieve. I chase after God and not the dream because I believe the scripture that says seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added…I believe that those added things are my desires, dreams and hopes.
When it comes to my relationship with God I don’t even know how I got to the point were I am now. I didn’t grow up in church but I knew of God. When I was younger, my mom & I were Catholic. The turning point of my life was July of 2000. It was a month before my Senior year of High School…my mom passed away from breast cancer. Going through this taught me so much about God, life and faith. In my heart I knew without a shadow of a doubt that God would heal my mom and so did she. I was mad at God for taking her and the doctor for misdiagnosing her. How I remained sane…the world will never know? In 2003 I transferred to Southeast because I needed to get away and wanted to know God personally. I got saved Spring of 2003 and have not stopped since! Through this I have learned the power of forgiveness, faith & trust in God and the power of divine healing.
As for Gamma Chi...we are history in the making. In 2005, the Lord laid it on my heart as well as four other young ladies. I truly have a passion for Gamma Chi because it's ministry. My fellow-founders are women that truly have a heart for God! We don't need God with his "props"...we just want GOD! For us this is ministry. We try to work through real problems and issues with the young ladies that come aboard. We are just hungry for the heart of God...and he has great things in store for us!

Howdy!!! My name is Sheena Nicole Ivy and I am __ (u fill in the blank). Lol! Anyway I was born in Chicago, Ill but pretty much raised in Jefferson City, Mo. I graduated with my BA in Child Development May 2007 after many years of hard hard work. I just recently moved to Kansas City, Mo and have been blessed with one of the best jobs in the world.......teaching. I am a newlywed as of March 29, 2008 and I LOVE it! The Lord has blessed me with an awesome man of God who truly loves me with all his heart but most importantly loves the Lord first.I have experienced alot of things in my short time on this earth but PRAISE GOD I am here and living for the one and only TRUE God. You don't know my story but Lord knows I am a walking testimony. When I lost my father in 2001 I gained a heavenly father and every since I have come to know the true depth of love.
If you want to know and feel real love (not from your boyfriend, friends, or even family) let me help point you in the right direction.........read Mark chapter 15. Jesus loves you and truly there is NO greater love.
Please feel free to email any of the members of Gamma Chi if you want to know more about this love I'm referring to and we will be honored to tell you more. We are a ministry and a sisterhood created for the sole purpose of lifting up the name of Jesus. I love Gamma Girls!!!

My name is Ivory Polk. I was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri but now residing in Atlanta with my husband, James Polk. I am also perusing my passion in photography at The Art Institute of Atlanta. I love my family and my friends. God has taken my life and turned it up side down, He is molding, sculpting and beating at me but I thank him because He is creating a better me.
I grew up with extremely low self-esteem that would have me walking with my head down. I mastered maneuvering through Kirkwood Senior High hallways, without having to look up or bumping into someone. I had mild social anxiety and I was diagnosed as having a leaning disability. I didn’t understand the depth of how the enemy could get into your thoughts back then. The enemy made me feel as if I was crazy, as if I was so wired, even when I was around my family. I remember as a little girl, at eight or nine years old talking to God and praying that I would have a “happy life.” I remember making my own decisions concerning my attendance to church. My family didn’t go; it was only on those holidays that they went. In middle school I ask my best friend if I could go to church with her family, they attended church almost everyday.
It’s when I got to collage when I began to understand and grow more with God; it’s when I got to college when my life changed like I never thought it could. I began to see a whole community of young people on fire for God, it’s when I would cry and I knew that God was cleaning and restoring me. It’s when I would stay up with my friend and we would read the bible for hours into the early morning. That’s when I was determined to live for God till the day I die and give him glory in all that I do.
It’s in 2005 when I and four other ladies gave birth to our baby, Gamma Chi Epsilon Christian Sorority, Inc. We all have a unique love for Gamma Chi, we are trying our very best to be the women that God is calling us to be. We are striving toward the mark, with God we will fly high and not faint. Gamma Chi has taught me so much...how to love and to have tough skin. When you are trying to seek God and you finally step into an area that God has placed you in it will always be a Judas in your life. Gamma Chi has had much adversity yet, I truly thank God. I thank Him for it all because just like Jesus; We will wash their feet with love and know that it’s destiny behind the things that may look like disaster. It is destiny that is pushing us forward. One of our main things are to not only build an earthly sisterly love but to build a spiritual sisterly love with each other. Gamma Chi is a sorority but it is ministry First.
I Live to give Him Glory,
~Morning Glory
