Harris will also be in Houston on Thursday to deliver the eulogy at the funeral of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson, according to the White House.
The vice president spoke at two other sororities, Boulé's, earlier in July, including Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.’s Boule in Dallas and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.’s Grand Boule in Indianapolis.
The persistent effort is to connect and earn the vote of Black voters in the upcoming presidential election.
