Our Programs

Five Point Programmatic Thrust

Educational Development

In accordance with our National Initiatives, our mission is to impact the lives of the youth throughout our service area by inspiring, motivating, and supporting their aspirations and achievements. We seek to influence and inspire students to excel academically while balancing a well-rounded social life.

​

The Education Committee also provides social and academic strategies to encourage and guide students to reach their best potential. The Committee serves local youth from the local school districts and is comprised of retired and working educators.

​

The committee strives to encourage students to read and practice literary exercises during the summer. To assist, the Education Committee donated over 100 books to the graduating class of fifth-graders from several local schools.
 

Economic Development

National economic trends, such as unstable employment, the threat to Social Security as we know it, and the widening gap between wealth and poverty are the basis for the development of Financial Fortitude, the current Economic Development program initiative of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Financial Fortitude is a process that will help program participants to set and define goals, develop a plan to achieve them, and put the plan into action. The process serves as a blueprint to address all aspects of personal finances.

​

The Financial Fortitude initiative is comprised of ten components and provides a collaboration of information from major economic corporations and other well-known financial institutions. The ten components include Goal Setting, Financial Planning, Budgeting, Debt Management, Savings & Investments, Retirement Planning, Homeownership, Insurance, Estate Planning, and Entrepreneurship. The initiative helps members of the Sorority spread financial education throughout the local community.
 

Political Awareness & Involvement

March 1913, nearly six weeks after its founding, several Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Founders marched in the historic Suffragist March under the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. banner, the Sorority's first public act. Today, low voter turnout statistics highlight the need to continue to identify ways to include opportunities for all citizens to exercise their voting power. Each of Delta’s programmatic initiatives has an advocacy component that is implemented under the auspices of social action when it is appropriate or necessary to do so.

​

Under the auspices of the National Social Action Commission, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. continues to institute activities that foster:

​

  1. Sponsoring Voter Registration and voter education programs

  2. Combating Voter Suppression

  3. The full restoration of voting rights for individuals who have paid their debt to society (ex-offenders)

  4. Affordable Health Care and access to quality health care

  5. Financial Literacy and Economic Empowerment

  6. Support for HBCU

  7. Political Awareness and Involvement

  8. Gender Equality

  9. Racial Profiling
     

International Awareness & Involvement

The International Awareness Committee serves as a bridge for the diaspora in the country of Haiti and the local Haitian community on the Treasure Coast. And South America. The program provides needed items such as clothing, toiletries, finances, and educational materials for families in Haiti.

Physical and Mental Health

The Physical and Mental Health Committee is proud to have collaborated to bring valuable programming and engaging services to chapter members and the community. As an organization of predominantly African American women, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is uniquely positioned to impact not only the well-being of its membership but also the families and communities we serve. The committee and chapter participated in several activities and events focused on the promotion of health, awareness, advocacy, and self-care.
