The Tulsa Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority sponsored a retreat and round-up for its members last month. The occasion was to “reconnect, revitalize, and revisit the sorority’s goal of serving the community,” according to a press release. More than 100 sorority members attended the program.
“We started my presidency with the theme of unleashing the power of sisterhood and did our chapter come through,” said Quanie Daniels, chapter president.
The programming was an opportunity for the chapter members to come together to “honor the organization’s mission of sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action.”
“Combined with enthusiasm from the Tulsa Alumnae Chapter and diligently reaching out to sorority members we had not seen in a while, we were able to make the Sisterhood Round-Up a success,” said Daniels.
Founded in 1913 at Howard University, the national sorority is noted for its community service to the Black community. The organization has 1,000 collegiate and alumnae chapters across the world. The international president is Elsie Cooke-Holmes.
