Bill > SR0289

This resolution commends Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., an international organization founded in 1913 by twenty-two collegiate women at Howard University, for its commitment to Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, and Social Action, which has been demonstrated through over 113 years of programs focused on economic development, educational development, international awareness, health, and political involvement. Specifically, the resolution recognizes the sorority's upcoming 2026 Tennessee Days at the Capitol, where members from Tennessee chapters will visit the State Capitol to engage with legislators on social action priorities, and it also celebrates the 100th anniversary of the sorority's Southern Region, which encompasses Tennessee and several other states and territories. The resolution acknowledges the leadership within the sorority, including International President Cheryl W. Turner, Southern Regional Director Amaris L. Johnson, and various state and local coordinators, and expresses gratitude for their exemplary service and efforts to improve state policies and the well-being of Tennessee citizens.
