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.
