LETTER FROM BOARDOFADVISORS

Dear Sxsters,

We would first and foremost like to congratulate National Council and each of our charters on another successful academic year The Delta Kappa Delta Sorority, Inc Board of Advisors remains honored to support and uplift this sxsterhood as we continue our journey together - grounded in service, sxsterhood, and unwavering cultural pride. We are deeply grateful to National Council for their dedication, perseverance, and care in guiding our organization forward.

As the governing and advisory body of the sorority, the Board of Advisors continues to focus on long-term strategy, organizational stability, and acting as a resource to National Council. Over the past year, we’ve worked closely with leadership to begin aligning our Values Framework with a more standardized charter evaluation process— ensuring that our core principles are being upheld across every level of the organization. We also reinforced the importance of regional retreats as meaningful spaces to reconnect, reflect, and rebuild local sxsterhood These gatherings are not just events— they are opportunities to create lasting bonds and lay the foundation for a powerful and unified experience at our next National Convention.

More than ever, in today’s world, our sxsterhood must be a place of safety, belonging, and shared purpose. In a climate marked by social division and political unrest, Delta Kappa Delta stands as a sanctuary a place where women of color can show up authentically and find strength in one another. We encourage each of you to lean into that strength. Prioritize community. Build relationships that matter. Find comfort, courage, and joy in the presence of your sxsters.

Looking ahead, Board of Advisors remains committed to supporting our national leadership and our growing membership We hope to welcome new voices to the Board of Advisors and continue building an organization that not only reflects the values we were founded on but adapts, evolves, and thrives with every new generation.
