DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY, INC.
NOVEMBER 2011
WEST VIRGINIA Continued collegiate chapter, Theta Omega, at Marshall University. Jackson is always willing to do whatever it takes to serve Delta whether it’s mentoring younger Sorors or taking part events sponsored by Huntington Alumnae. We can always count on Soror Jackson to lend her time and talents. We are proud and deeply humbled to call Fran our sister in Delta. Greater Morgantown Alumnae Chapter GMAC is back!!!!! Sorors in North Central West Virginia are reactivating the Greater Morgantown Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. Sorors have selected Soror Cheryl Williams as its new president. Until recently, sorors in Morgantown were limited to membership in the closest midwest chapter, Eastern Panhandle Alumnae Chapter (EPAC), located in Berkeley and Jefferson counties in WV, more than two hours away. When involvement in EPACprogramming requires so much travel, it can make participation difficult. Sorors in Morgantown are ecstatic about the ability to really affect programming within its more immediate service area. In addition to supporting the programming of EPAC, past local efforts have been focused primarily on collegiate support - assisting with the educational projects and membership intake programs of Omicron Upsilon, located on the West Virginia University campus. While alumnae members are busy reestablishing GMAC, they will continue to help collegiate Deltas develop and deliver its programs.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
WISCONSIN Madison Alumnae Chapter
The Madison Alumnae Chapter made a big splash in the community this summer. In June, the chapter participated in Dane County’s 22nd Juneteenth Day Celebration. Sorors not only marched in the annual Juneteenth Day Parade, they partnered with a local health insurance provider to distribute materials to promote healthy lifestyles. The chapter’s Delta GEMS were focused on keeping the community hydrated this summer by partnering with other groups to distribute water and soft drinks to the community. Finally, the chapter helped Madison youth get ready for school by serving as hostesses at a financial seminar for the youth and helping to distribute hundreds of backpacks to elementary and middle school students.
