President’s Corner

On behalf of the dynamic and steadfast members of the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, welcome to our digital home!

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as President of this dynamic and distinguished chapter as we celebrate 99 years of impactful service in the City of Philadelphia. For nearly a century, Philadelphia Alumnae has stood as a beacon of sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action, anchored in purpose and driven by a deep commitment to the communities we serve.

Our chapter is comprised of approximately 700 accomplished, college-educated women whose collective strength, leadership, and dedication continue to shape meaningful change across Philadelphia. Guided by strategic planning, civic engagement, and a strong sisterhood, we continue to expand our footprint and provide vital resources to empower the Philadelphia community.  United by our shared values and our bond of sisterhood, we work intentionally to uplift, empower, and advocate for those within our service area.

Founded on January 13, 1913, by 22 visionary women on the campus of Howard University, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated has remained resolute in its commitment to public service, with a primary focus on the Black community. Since our chartering in 1927, the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter has carried that mission forward through impactful programming aligned with our Five-Point Programmatic Thrust:

• Economic Development
• Educational Development
• International Awareness and Involvement
• Physical and Mental Health
• Political Awareness and Involvement

As we stand on the threshold of our centennial, we are both reflective and forward focused, honoring the legacy of those who came before us while continuing to build pathways for future generations. Our work is rooted in collaboration, fueled by compassion, and strengthened through intentional partnerships that expand our reach and deepen our impact across Philadelphia.

We invite community organizations, partners, and stakeholders to join us in this work. Together, we can continue to develop innovative programs that address the evolving needs of our city. For partnership opportunities, please contact us at president@phillyalumnae-dst.org.

To our Sorors seeking a chapter home, we warmly welcome you to experience the strength, excellence, and genuine connection that define Philadelphia Alumnae. And to our community members, we encourage your continued engagement and support as we advance the vision first set forth by our 22 esteemed Founders.

Thank you for visiting our website. We invite you to return often, stay connected, and journey with us as we approach this historic milestone,100 years of sisterhood and service in Philadelphia.

Anchored in sisterhood, driven by purpose, and committed to Philadelphia.

Sisterly,

Tiffany A. Wilson
