Bill > HR401

This resolution commends Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., a public service organization founded in 1913 by 22 collegiate women at Howard University, for its 112 years of dedicated service and commitment to community development. The sorority, which has grown to over 300,000 members with more than 1,000 chapters in the United States and internationally, focuses on five key programmatic areas: educational development, economic development, political awareness, physical and mental health, and international involvement. The resolution specifically recognizes the sorority's ongoing efforts to create positive social change, highlighting its members' roles as elected officials, community leaders, and advocates for social justice. By designating March 3, 2025, as Delta Day at the state capitol, the resolution honors the organization's legacy of sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action. The document also establishes several awards, including the Georganna Sinkfield Servant Leadership Award and the Pota E. Coston Trailblazer Award, to recognize outstanding contributions by the sorority's members. The House of Representatives commends Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. for its continued commitment to public service and its significant impact on improving communities, particularly in the State of Georgia.
