Challenges and adversity are no match for the MIGHTY collegiate sorors of the Midwest Region. These sorors are recharged, rejuvenated, and REaDy to rumble for all the rounds to come.

We will continue deepening and accelerating our impact, as we have for the past 111 years, by registering, educating, and mobilizing voters, and creating the future we deserve.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated joins the world in remembering the life and legacy of the incomparable United States Representative Sheila Jackson Lee.

Congresswoman Lee (TX-18) was truly a servant of the people and one of our country’s most dedicated leaders. Serving nearly 30 years in Congress on behalf of her constituents in Houston, she advocated passionately for issues impacting women, children and families. She was an transformative leader within the Congressional Black Caucus and her indelible impact will be felt for years to come.

Always a friend to Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., she stood with us as a fighter for justice and was often present during our annual Delta Days in the Nation’s Capital. During our 2023 visit, she reminded members to bring their history and stories along with them as they advocate on behalf of the communities they serve and represent – and she truly embodied that advice throughout her decades of service.

We extend our deepest sympathies to her family, friends, sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and the City of Houston during this time. May her legacy continue to live on through the lives she touched, the policies she created and the many ways she made a better world for us all.

PTSD Mental Health Discussion

07/16/2024

Have you experienced a startling, scary, or traumatic situation and found yourself weeks later still thinking about the incident, jumping at sights and sounds that remind you of the event, feeling increased anxiety, or having trouble resting because you are reliving it? If your answer is yes, then you may be suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is not just diagnosed in persons who are veterans. You may experience PTSD if you've seen a person die, been the victim of or observed a robbery, or been in a combative relationship. Join the National Physical and Mental Health Committee for our summer webinar, PTSD.

We will be joined by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and Johnson and Johnson on Wednesday, July 17th at 8:00 p.m. EST.

Collegiate sorors of the Central Region spent their 51st Collegiate Day under the theme "The Red Parade: Unplugged"! Central Regional Representative Jasmine Burrell led a day filled with engaging activities for collegiates to make connections not only as sisters, but also as they begin to build their networks and expand their careers.

Collegiates experienced a series of workshops focused around career and chapter development, strengthening the bonds of sisterhood while also providing enrichment to illuminate their sense of self and individuality! These collegiate sorors are marching to the beats of their OWN drums as they prepare to advance their chapters and excel in professional spaces as they continue on in the Red Parade!

Many thanks to Soror Burrell and the entire Central Region Collegiate Day Planning Committee for holding an awesome Collegiate Day that collegiate sorors will remember as they embark on their Delta journeys.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated is proud to announce a $1 million gift to the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation. In addition, International President and Chair of the Board of Directors, Elsie Cooke-Holmes, and 16th National President, Dr. Thelma T. Daley, have been named as Ambassadors of Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation. Additionally, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated has been named as a National Partner to the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation.

"Today marks a milestone for Delta Sigma Theta and all who champion women's rights and honor their history,” said Elsie Cooke-Holmes, International President and Chair of the Board of Directors. “Our Founders stood not only in the parade lines but at the forefront of change. This gift and our role as Ambassadors are a testament to our ongoing commitment to advocacy and education, ensuring the valor and stories of these courageous women continue to inspire generations. Together with the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation, we are not just preserving history—we are propelling it forward."

“Delta's imprint in making the Women’s Suffrage National Monument a reality is a tribute to all Black women whose names may not have made the pages in the history books, nor recognized from a podium,” said Dr. Thelma T. Daley, 16th National President. “Black women from all walks of life played a pivotal role in the passing and ratification of the 19th Amendment, and as Delta rises, they, too, will rise.”

“When the 22 Founders of Delta Sigma Theta marched with Mary Church Terrell in the 1913 Woman Suffrage Parade, they changed history,” said Anna Laymon, President and CEO of the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation. “On that day, the women of Delta cemented their legacy as pioneers whose bravery would come to define Black social activism of the twentieth century, and it is our honor to welcome Delta Sigma Theta as a National Partner and to work together to continue that legacy by uplifting all women’s stories out of the footnotes of history and into our collective memory.”

Delta Sigma Theta’s extraordinarily generous gift is a major step towards the Foundation’s $75 million fundraising goal. Laymon added, “We extend our deepest gratitude to International President Elsie Cooke-Holmes and Dr. Thelma Daley for their leadership, their strength, and their commitment to elevating women’s history in our Nation’s Capital.”

Join us as we celebrate the life and impact of Delta Sigma Theta's First Grand President Sadie T.M. Alexander.

Soror Alexander was the first Grand President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., serving from 1919 to 1923 as the official legal advisor to the Sorority. She was elected to the office of Grand President four times (the title that preceded National President).

Delta's growth under Grand President Alexander’s auspices was phenomenal, with chapters established on college campuses in Cincinnati, Syracuse, Ithaca (NY), Berkeley (CA), Chicago, Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor, and Lincoln (NE). Graduate chapters were authorized at the Second National Convention in 1920 when petitions from graduate sorors in New York City and Washington, D.C. were presented and approved. The Kappa Chapter was established at the University of California, making Delta the first Greek-letter organization for African American students (men or women) on the Pacific Coast. One of the chapter's charter members was Vivian Osborne Marsh, who would later become the seventh National President of Delta Sigma Theta.

Under Soror Alexander’s leadership, May Week, established in 1921, is an annual remembrance by chapters nationwide highlighting the significance of higher education for African American women. The Delta, the official journal of the Sorority, was also created during her tenure. Soror Alexander was also a chartering member of the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter.

The idea of establishing the Housing Fund, Sinking Fund, Scholarship Award Fund, and College Tuition Fund was conceived by President Alexander and voted upon at the Fourth National Convention in 1922.

On November 1, 1989, Soror Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander passed away in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the age of 91.
