Sisterhood Pants

A Kol Echad tradition starting in 2018, these jean pants are sent home to the member who best represented our chapter that month. Inspired by the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, we ask each girl who brings them home to add a little design or embellishment that best represents them.

Split From Kol Hadror

In February 2014, it was decided after Kol Hadror BBYO had reached 80 combined members, that it was time to split into a King of Prussia AZA and a King of Prussia BBG. A motion was drafted by the current Aleph Godol of Kol Hadror Marshall Noye, read by Aleph Jacob Schwack and seconded by the Alephs of Kol Hadror BBYO. The chapter split by a vote of 31-2 and it officially occurred on March 27, 2014. King of Prussia AZA would eventually change its name to Yitzhak Rabin AZA #2562 and King of Prussia BBG changed its name to Kol Echad BBG #2555. Kol Echad received its Chapter Charter on May 13, 2014.
