LavellR.Thornton Chapter President
On April 24, 1994 in Columbia, South Carolina under the direction of past South Atlantic Regional Director, Nettie Faulcon, forty-four (44) women chartered the Richland County Alumnae Chapter (RCA), Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. RCA became the second chapter in the Columbia Metropolitan area and the 867th chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.
Always supportive of academic excellence, in 1995, the chapter gave away its first scholarship totaling $500. To provide more scholarships, the chapter began holding its annual Scholarship Gala and Little Miss Red and White Pageant, resulting in increased scholarship amounts and awards. Today, the chapter hosts an annual Red Diamond Scholarship Gala and Jabberwock that helps the chapter to award $30,000 in scholarships annually to deserving high school seniors; to date, the chapter has awarded over $350,000 in scholarships!
