The Six Pillars of Strength left a legacy of solidarity via several organizational events implemented from establishment, one of them being Sisterhood Weekend. The first Sisterhood Weekend was held the weekend of August 4-6, 1995 in SUNY Geneseo and the most recent was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
