It is highly important that breast examinations are done regularly as to help prevent the many problems and complications that arise with Breast Cancer. Beta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc. takes Breast Cancer very seriously and is willing to do all that we can to educate everyone about this serious matter. Breast examinations can be done in the privacy of your own home but as stated above, they must be done regularly so that you can master and know the feel of your own breasts. Breasts naturally have lumps in them, this is why it is important to get to know the form of your breasts so that you can easily notice when something is not quite right.

The birth of a child is a special event and the fact of knowing your child is at his or hers healthiest state is an even better joy to celebrate. All too often there are stories after stories of birth deformities and defects, which could have been prevented if the mother were educated and understood all the things that could affect her and her unborn baby. Each year all over the world there are marches and walks for this matter. It is a serious matter because we all want our unborn babies to be born healthy, moreover, we want to be educated and know exactly what to look for and what to do when a problem does occur.
