This resolution declares January 13, 2025, as Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, Day in the state of Michigan, recognizing the significant historical and ongoing contributions of this predominantly Black, college-educated women's organization. Founded on January 13, 1913, at Howard University by 19 women, the sorority has grown to include over 350,000 members and 1,000 chapters across the United States and internationally. The resolution highlights the sorority's first public act of participating in the 1913 Women's Suffrage March and acknowledges its ongoing commitment to five key programmatic areas: economic development, educational development, international awareness, physical and mental health, and political awareness.
