This resolution honors and congratulates the Knoxville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., recognizing its 112th Founders Day Celebration and highlighting the organization's significant contributions to community service. Delta Sigma Theta, founded in 1913 by twenty-two African-American women at Howard University, is a nonprofit organization of predominantly Black college-educated women dedicated to public service, with a focus on five key programmatic areas: Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Social Action. The Knoxville chapter specifically serves its local community through various initiatives, including annual college scholarships, and will host a private Founders Day Celebration on February 22, 2025, with the theme "One Team, One Dream: Honoring the Past, Building the Future". The resolution commends the sorority for its commitment to academic excellence and public service, acknowledging its ongoing efforts to address challenges facing African Americans and the broader community.
