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 chapter at
wacdst@gmail.com
for the location and time of the meeting.
Many thanks to our loyal supporter for making our
fundraiser, An Afternoon Of Jazz,
a wonderful success. We plan to present it again next year so
stay tuned for updates.
