Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2015 - 2016 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: April 21, 2016 04:48 PM
From: Senator Vincent J. Hughes
To: All Senate members
Subject: Delta Sigma Theta Day
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce a resolution recognizing May 17, 2016 as “Delta Sigma
Theta” day in the Commonwealth.

In 1913, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was established in order to promote academic
excellence and to provide assistance to local communities around the world. This Sorority is the
largest African-American Greek-lettered organization to date.

Today, this organization continues to promote these ideas through scholarship programs,
supporting those with fewer opportunities, and educating the people on the importance of
establishing positive public policy. This year, the sorority is celebrating its 103rd anniversary.

Dr. Paulette C. Walker, the current President of Delta Sigma Theta, leads more than 300,000
college-educated women on a mission to advocate for education and solving problems in the
communities where they are located. The organization has more than 1,000 different chapters
across the globe.

It is my hope that you will join me in recognizing the deeds and achievements of this outstanding
Sorority.
