The Founder’s of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority were exceptional women. Frankly, anyone who dared to assemble together to increase the strength of individuals for the betterment of the community at that time, was exceptional. Each Founder represented a thread of values, ideals, principles, convictions and character that, when combined with the others created a sisterhood that has endured for almost 100 years.
Delta Sigma Theta, to me, is like a big beautiful quilt which is held together by the individual ‘threads’ that are the sorority sisters. Each of us contribute to her enhancement and longevity and in return, she gives us cohesion, solidarity, a pattern to follow, standards to uphold, comfort and all other things a physical quilt might. The quilt needs each thread to grow and thrive. Her splendor and beauty is made more apparent by each strand that weaves together and creates a new panel. The contribution of each thread varies in its unique talents, aspirations and circumstances. But, when brought together it changes the shape, color and outlook of things.
