public policy; and to highlight issues and provide
solutions for problems in their communities.

innovative programs and projects. Each year the
chapter implements a full program agenda that

programmatic thrust. The chapter currently has 39
members. All are registered voters and hold a

the membership holds graduate degrees.

Since its founding in 1913, Delta Sigma Theta has clearly distinguished itself as a public service organization that boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and, hence, all Americans. Over the years, a wide range of programs addressing education, health, international development, and strengthening of the African American family have evolved. In realizing its mission, Delta Sigma Theta provides an extensive array of public service initiatives through its Five-Point Programmatic Thrust of Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement. The Clinton Alumnae Chapter strives to implement programs that fall under our National Guidelines.
Financial planning, consumer education,
money management, investments and employment
opportunities are but a few of Delta's
concerns addressed under economic
development.
Each year, local Delta Chapters conduct projects designed to address the community's concerns about excellence in education. On a national level, Delta's pursuit of educational excellence takes the form of scholarships and grants to individual members and local chapters.
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has always been a proponent of helping those who are in need, especially in third world countries.
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has
programs designed to address health
education programs and health fairs. Delta
also supports medical research that examines
illnesses that affect specific segments of
the country's population.
Though non-partisan in nature and purpose, Delta understands the importance of and the need for an informed electorate. Delta's concern for the public's "need-to-know" and the enfranchisement of all Americans has been the philosophical basis for public service programs in this area.
