This Concurrent Resolution officially recognizes January 13th each year as Founders Day for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a public service organization. The resolution highlights that Delta Sigma Theta was founded on January 13, 1913, by 22 college women at Howard University with the goal of promoting academic excellence and assisting those in need. It further explains that the sorority is a private, not-for-profit organization composed of predominantly African American, college-educated women who provide assistance through established programs worldwide, and that it has a significant history of public service, particularly in addressing challenges faced by African Americans through initiatives focused on education, health, international development, and strengthening families. The resolution also specifically commends the Clarksdale-Marks Alumnae Chapter for its extensive public service projects within Mississippi, such as voter registration drives, community partnerships, and educational programs, acknowledging its impactful contributions and legacy of leadership.
