Greetings, Sorors & Friends!
Welcome to the official website of Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. I am honored and humbled to serve as the president of our prestigious chapter. We are a membership of over 700 diverse, talented, dedicated and college-educated women, working together and advocating for the citizens of Philadelphia, PA.
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is a private non-profit organization founded on January 13, 1913 by 22 revered, college women on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. Our organization is committed to public service with a primary focus on the Black community and to the constructive development of its more than 350,000 members.
FIVE-Point PROGRAMMATIC THRUSTS
Our programs are centered on the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust:
• CHARITABLE PARTNERS •
During National Stroke Awareness Month, take advantage of this free opportunity to learn more about the silent killer in the Black community, hypertension (high blood pressure) and what can be done to be more proactive in preventing and addressing it. Heart disease is a crisis in Philadelphia of which everyone needs to be aware, and every household needs at least one person who knows how to respond in the event of a cardiac arrest. Therefore, participants will also have an opportunity to learn and practice hands-only CPR.
Blood pressure screenings and other health information will also be provided.
