Macon Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

06/06/2026

Thirty-six phenomenal members of the Macon Alumnae Chapter have been dedicated to Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated for 50 years or more. Let that sink in. You are looking at 2,036 collective years of sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action! We are standing on the shoulders of strong, beautiful, majestic, confident, brilliant, and unapologetic African American women. They didn't just ensure our mission was carried out—they blazed trails in their careers, families, churches, and neighborhoods. From high-ranking military officers, scientists, local, state and federal employees to educators, social workers, and healthcare professionals, their impact runs deep. We affectionately call them the “Cutie Pies” of Macon Alumnae, but they are so much more than that. We are anchored in their legacy. How’s that for some Black history.

For in their courage, we find a seed,
Of hope, of change, of a united creed.

In their footsteps, we learn to tread,
A path of respect, where once we fled.

So let us say with pride and grace,
To those once hidden, now face to face,

"Thank you for your service," deep and true,

For a better world, shaped by you.

From "A Black Soldier Story”
by Mustafa Santiago Ali
