This resolution honors Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a prominent African-American service-based sorority founded in 1913 at Howard University, recognizing its extensive contributions to social activism, community development, and civic engagement. The resolution highlights the organization's significant achievements, including its 350,000 members, 26 chapters in Pennsylvania, and global presence, and acknowledges its comprehensive mission of public service focused on five key areas: educational development, economic development, international awareness, health, and political involvement. The resolution specifically celebrates the sorority's long-standing commitment to addressing critical social issues such as voting rights, affordable healthcare, financial literacy, gender equality, and racial profiling, and notes their annual "Delta Day" event on May 5, 2025, at the State Capitol in Harrisburg, where members will connect with legislators and advocate for community interests. By recognizing Delta Sigma Theta's 112-year history of servant leadership and commitment to empowering communities, the resolution honors the organization's ongoing efforts to create positive social change and support marginalized populations.
