President's Greeting,

On behalf of the dynamic and dedicated members of the Franklin Tri-County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., I extend a heartfelt welcome to our website. It is my honor to serve as Chapter President for the 2024–2026 biennium, and I am excited to continue the legacy of scholarship, sisterhood, and service that has defined our beloved chapter since its chartering on December 7, 1985.

For nearly 40 years, the Franklin Tri-County Alumnae Chapter has remained steadfast in uplifting our communities through programs that reflect Delta Sigma Theta’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: Educational Development, Economic Development, Physical and Mental Health, Political Awareness and Involvement, and International Awareness and Involvement. Our members are passionate women, united in purpose, and committed to empowering lives, fostering opportunities, and creating lasting impact across Franklin City, Southampton, Isle of Wight, Surry, and Sussex counties.

As we prepare to celebrate our 40th anniversary, we reflect with gratitude on the shoulders we stand upon, and we look ahead with renewed determination to serve with excellence. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, events, and the ways we continue to uphold our Sorority’s commitment to public service.

Thank you for visiting, and may you be inspired by the work we do to strengthen our communities. Together, we will continue to honor our past, celebrate our present, and build an even greater future.

Dorothy Blunt

As a chapter grounded in service and sisterhood, the Franklin Tri-County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. stands firmly committed to addressing the pressing issues affecting the Black community. As part of a national organization comprised primarily of college-educated Black women, our chapter confronts these challenges with intention—championing change not only for African Americans, but for all communities we serve. Over the years, we’ve implemented meaningful programs that support education, health, global awareness, and the empowerment of families across our service areas.

Since its founding in 1913, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has been recognized as a leader in public service. At the local level, Franklin Tri-County Alumnae Chapter carries that legacy forward through initiatives anchored in the Sorority’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: economic development, educational development, international awareness and involvement, physical and mental health, and political awareness and involvement. Through these focus areas, we continue to uplift and impact lives across Franklin, Southampton, Isle of Wight, Surry, and Sussex counties.
