Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.

The Pasadena Alumnae Chapter – Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (PAC) became familiar with John Kennedy in 1970 during his senior year of high school as he applied for and received a PAC academic award towards his college education at USC. As an aside, please know that many PAC members who lived in Pasadena, already knew John and/or, at least some members of his large family. Also, John Kennedy was born in the same year that PAC was chartered as the 291st chapter of the sorority. Over the years and through the duration of outstanding and impactful contributions by Mr. Kennedy, PAC maintained a strong partnership and supportive relationship.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is a public service organization dedicated to assist with unmet needs in the areas of education, economics, political awareness, health, and international awareness. John Kennedy in his role as City Councilman/Vice Mayor, in the community, in his family, in business, in politics and in organizations has been aligned with this Delta 5-Point Program. John supported PAC fundraisers, served as keynote speaker for an academic awards luncheon, brought greetings from his council district at numerous PAC events, including the 2018 Farwest Regional Conference which was hosted by PAC in Pasadena. More importantly are the projects and programs in our city which Mr. Kennedy has marshalled to improve for the benefit of the residents. He has acted on employment, education, housing, police oversight, African sister city approval, climate justice and health indicatives, which address issues that are significant to his constituents and others in the City of Pasadena. PAC has always been honored to collaborate with John J. Kennedy, admire his accomplishments and are extremely saddened by his passing.
