Programs
Since its founding in 1913, Delta
Sigma Theta has clearly distinguished itself as a public service
organization that boldly confronts the challenges of African
Americans and, hence, all Americans. Over the years, a wide
range of programs addressing education, health, international
development, and strengthening of the African American family
have evolved. In realizing its mission, Delta Sigma Theta
provides an extensive array of public service initiatives
through its
Five-Point Programmatic Thrust of Economic Development,
Educational Development, International Awareness and
Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness
and Involvement.
The Clinton
Alumnae Chapter strives to implement programs that fall under
our National Guidelines.
Chapter Programs
Economic Development
Financial planning, money management, consumer education,
investments and employment opportunities are but a few of
Delta's "money concerns" under economic development.
Educational Development
Each year, local Delta Chapters conduct projects designed to
address the community's concerns about excellence in education.
On a national level, Delta's pursuit of educational excellence
takes the form of scholarships and grants to individual members
and local chapters.
International Awareness and Involvement
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has
always been a proponent of helping those who are in need,
especially in third world countries.
Physical and
Mental Health
Concerns about America's physical
and mental health have not escaped Delta Sigma Theta Sorority,
Inc. Delta's work in prevention and "wellness" translates to
health education programs, health fairs and the provision of
health care services.
Political Awareness and Involvement
Though non-partisan in nature and purpose,
Delta understands the importance of and the need for an informed
electorate. Delta's concern for the public's "need-to-know" and
the enfranchisement of all Americans has been the philosophical
basis for public service programs in this area.
