Chapter History
|
The North Dallas Suburban
Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was chartered in March 24,
1996 when 43 women unified to promote and enrich the African American community.
The goals of this union were to provide empowerment, economic development, and
educational attainment.
Inspiration began humbly in the
halls of the Hamilton Park United Methodist Church, Dallas, Texas where active
and in-active members of Delta Sigma Theta witnessed the men of Alpha Phi Alpha
mentor the male youth of their church. It was through that inspiration Soror
Tawanda "T.J." Jackson developed the concept of the "Five Point Delta," an
annual retreat for the female youth of the church. Their mission was to teach
young women the virtues of a Christian life. Inspirational speakers facilitated
dialogue with the young women providing instructions on Christian morals, proper
speech and table etiquette.
"We talked to them about such things
as teen pregnancy, economics, government, politics, and family life"
said Soror Robbie Odame-Lartey,
a "Five Point Delta" member.
After several years of providing these
services to the female youth of their church, the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta
decided to establish a local chapter offering community programs to the North
Dallas suburbs, based on the ideals and programs of their national organization.
Sorors decided to expand their efforts by providing opportunities which allowed
youth to grow and develop under the leadership of positive role models.
Today, North Dallas Suburban Alumnae is still
dedicated to the vision of our glorious Sorority and committed to our chapter's
mission.
