Greetings from the ladies of the Williamsburg Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. We are located in the Colonial Capital of Williamsburg, Virginia and are a warm sisterly chapter that serves our community and fosters the spirit of sisterhood.
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., is a national public service organization of women committed to educational and economic development. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded on the campus of Howard University in 1913. The twenty-two coeds who formed the first chapter set high scholastic achievement as their standard for membership. In 1930, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was incorporated as a national organization. Today there are more than 200,000 members with more than 800 chapters nationwide and internationally. Follow the links below to our National web site and South Atlantic Regional web site for additional information.
Williamsburg Alumnae Chapter follows the five point programmatic thrust that Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. established as a public service organization and is the stated mission to benefit others.

That five point thrust is:

Economic Development

Educational Development

International Awareness and Involvement

Physical and Mental Health

Political Awareness and Involvement

We are proud of the consistently high level of programs we have developed that benefit all in our large service area of Williamsburg, James City, York and Gloucester County. Please stay tuned to our web site for information regarding our signature fundraiser, The Afternoon of Jazz, which benefits our scholarship fund.

Annual scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors in our service area to assist with college tuition and books. These scholarships are awarded at our May Week breakfast held the first Saturday in May.

The Chapter has an ongoing mentorship with girls ages 11 to 14 and 14 to 18 from our community via the Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy/Delta Gems. These young girls are afforded a wide range of educational, self growth and fun activities throughout our chapter year.   Referrals are made through members of the Chapter.

We are involved in social action having voter registration drives and transportation to the polls in National and State elections. Williamsburg Alumnae sorors attend Delta Days at the Nations Capital and at the State Capital each year.

We contribute and participate in the Relay for Life for Cancer Research and Habitat for Humanity. The Chapter has held health forums addressing topics of importance to the community’s mental and physical health.   Williamsburg Alumnae participates in the Angel Tree program providing toys for needy children at Christmas and the Salvation Army bell ringing program. Each year we hold an arts and letters program in celebration of Martin Luther King’s birthday. The chapter holds a lifetime membership in the NAACP.

   We invite all Deltas in the area to become active members of our chapter and welcome all visiting Sorors to join us. Our chapter meetings are held the third Saturday of the month from September thru June. Email the webmaster at gingerdst@gmail.com for the location and time of the meeting.
