| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Honoring Members of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. |
| The Delta Sigma Theta sorority was founded in 1913 by 22 collegiate women on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. Those women wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to aid those in need. Today, Delta Sigma Theta is one of the preeminent service-based sororities, with more than 300,000 predominantly African-American initiated members and over 1,000 chartered chapters worldwide. For more than a century, the sorority has maintained a commitment to social activism, academic excellence, and civic engagement. Delta Sigma Theta has 31 chapters in Pennsylvania, and this year’s Delta Day at the State Capitol in Harrisburg will occur on May 2, 2023. Delta Sigma Theta members from throughout Pennsylvania come to the Capitol in order to connect with elected officials, advance legislation, and serve as a voice for others. The women of Delta Sigma Theta continue to be magnificent examples of servant-leaders with their commitment to their communities. That is why I will be introducing a resolution recognizing and honoring the members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. on Delta Day. Following the lead of the members of Delta Sigma Theta, I believe it is important that we, as legislators, do our part to promote the values of social activism, academic excellence, and civic engagement. I hope that you join me in sponsoring this legislation. |
