Greetings and welcome to the website of the Sacramento Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.
My name is Linda D. White and it is my honor and distinct pleasure to serve as Chapter President for Sorority Year 2017-2019
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated was founded on January 13, 1913 on the campus of Howard University by 22 dynamic and inspirational, college educated women. This sorority is based on Christian principles. These women were change agents by being actively involved and standing firm on their belief. This boldness to be involved spread nation-wide hence chapters now exist throughout this country.
The Sacramento Alumnae Chapter was chartered in 1973 with one of its major objectives being reclamation of in-active members and also keeping in line with Grand Chapter. These objectives and other remains true now in the year of 2015.
I created this acronym S-S-S-A-C stands for Sacramento Sorors showing their Allegiance to Commitment
The Sacramento Alumnae Chapter displays it commitment to by staying aligned with the sorority’s Five Point Programmatic Thrust: Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement.

Some of the goals for this biennium are to partner not only with fellow Greek organizations of the Pan Hellenic Council but to form partnerships with other organizations throughout the city who have similar goals and objectives and with political representatives who assist with the decision making for our great city.
