Bill > HRes990

This resolution recognizes the 113th anniversary of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, a private, non-profit organization founded on January 13, 1913, by 22 college women at Howard University. The sorority, which is the largest African-American Greek letter sorority with over 350,000 members and more than 1,050 chapters worldwide, is dedicated to providing assistance and support through established programs in local communities. It upholds a legacy of promoting academic excellence and aiding those in need through its Five-Point Program Thrust, which focuses on Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement. The resolution also highlights the sorority's commitment to service through initiatives like Financial Fortitude and the Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy, its global efforts including the Mary Help of the Sick Mission Hospital in Kenya and its consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, and its active participation in the democratic process through events like Delta Days at the United Nations and in the Nation's Capital, ultimately applauding and honoring the sorority and its members for over a century of distinguished service.
