Bill > HR0002

This resolution celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority's South Bend Chapter, a Black Greek letter organization first chartered on December 3, 1955, by nine women at the LaSalle Hotel in South Bend. The resolution highlights the sorority's national founding in 1913 at Howard University and its mission of community service, noting that it is a private, not-for-profit organization with over 1,000 chapters worldwide. The South Bend Alumnae Chapter, originally known as Epsilon Mu Sigma, has made significant community impacts over seven decades, including raising scholarship funds for college students, conducting health and social issue symposiums, organizing voter engagement drives, and hosting health fairs that provide free vaccinations. The resolution formally recognizes the chapter's contributions and instructs the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to State Representative Maureen Bauer, thereby officially commemorating the sorority chapter's 70-year history of service and community engagement.
