Chapter Programs

Since its chartering on December 5, 1981, the Williamsburg Alumnae Chapter continues to focus on public service initiatives of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority through its Five-Point Program Thrust:

·         Economic Development

·         Educational Development

·         International Awareness and Involvement

·         Physical and Mental Health

·         Political Awareness and Involvement

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Five-Point Programmatic Thrust was established under the leadership of Dr. Dorothy Irene Height, 10th National President.

Our focus is to develop and implement programming to address and improve the education, physical and mental health, and economic well-being of the African Americans and, hence, all Americans. International awareness was included in the Thrust out of concern of the inadequate prenatal and maternity care of women in Africa.

The chapter has worked with the Greater Women of Williamsburg Association and the Black William and Mary Law Students Association to present a Black History Program each February during Black History Week.   They have presented several health fairs in conjunction with other health care providers in the community during the International Day of Service held in March.   Most recently Williamsburg Alumnae worked with Denbigh alumnae chapter in the No Child Left Behind program.  The chapter has worked over the years with Mu Upsilon Chapter at the College.   They have joined Mu Upsilon and the Delta Academy girls in the annual Williamsburg Christmas parade held in Colonial Williamsburg.   

Williamsburg Alumnae has held numerous fund raising activities in order to obtain funds for the scholarships presented each year.   In the early years the chapter held a Jabberwock with students participating in talent contests.  They held Baby Contests, the successful Tasting Fest in conjunction with area chefs and most recently the Afternoon of Jazz.   The endeavor has been very successful and is anticipated by members of the community.  For several years the chapter partnered with Colonial Williamsburg to present the enjoyable event of great food, music and dance generating funds for scholarships for worthy students.
