| To: | All Senate members |
| Subject: | 100 Years - Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. |
| In the near future, I plan to introduce a resolution to honor the 100-year anniversary of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. On January 13, 1913, twenty-two collegiate women at Howard University founded Delta in order to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to provide assistance to persons in need. Among Delta's many historic contributions includes the Delta Founders' first public act by way of participation in the Women's Suffrage March in Washington D.C. in March of 1913. Today, Delta is a private, non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide assistance and support through established programs in local communities throughout the world. A sisterhood of more than 200,000 predominately Black college educated women, the Sorority currently has over 900 chapters located in the United States, England, Japan (Tokyo and Okinawa), Germany, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Republic of Korea. Delta continues to promote academic excellence, provide scholarships, provide support to the underserved, educate and stimulate participation in the establishment of positive public policy, and highlight issues and provide solutions for problems in their communities. Please join me in co-sponsoring this resolution honoring the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.'s 100 years of dedication to public service and educational achievement in our communities. If you have any questions, please contact my office at 787-5970. Thank you for your consideration. |
