The Ladies of Excellence (LOE) is a Christian Sisterhood; founded at what was Oakwood College now University in 1987, by Zandra

Whitlow, Carla Byrd, Kimberlin Carlisle, and Joy Walker. The founders saw the need for sisterhood among Adventist women that will be dedicated to encouraging the mental, spiritual, and social growth of its members, while giving back to the community. Thus they bonded together to form this organization that has since then stood for excellence in its members. As a community service organization the Ladies of Excellence has worked with the Chaplain's Office at Oakwood College to support programs such as Study Buddy, Phone Friend, and Adopt-A-Mile. They have also participated in educational enrichment programs such as Concerned Black Students (CBS). Members can also be found all over Huntsville, Alabama visiting the elderly, feeding the homeless at soup kitchens around town. Ladies of Excellence also host a verity of activities on campus such as worship in the dorms, sake night, fashion shows, breast cancer awareness and annual car wash throughout the year. As a sisterhood the Ladies of Excellence have provided spiritual and personal enrichment to all of its members. All of the members are Christians striving for the Kingdom. Consequently, they often gather together for agape feasts and Bible studies, vespers, AYS and Pray Meetings. In addition, they also have social outings because they recognize the need to spend time with Christian friends. But, the most important part of the sisterhood is the friendships that are formed. These cannot be measured because they are longlasting true relationships. This is something that is very important for all young ladies in college who are faced with the burdens of life.
