Benton Harbor-St. Joseph Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Our Founders courage, wisdom, determination and principles represent the ultimate example of the power of unified, strong, intelligent black women. Their unwavering loyalty to the idea of service is all the more relevant today - especially in a community such as ours, where families are facing unprecedented hardships and challenges.
Delta Dear Highlights
The Concept, Delta DEARS, was established by the Golden Life Committee in 1982, under the leadership of our 17th National President, Mona Humpheries Bailey. This included a special membership category for all Sorors verified to be 65 years of age or older. The age requirement was later changed to 62.
The "DEARS" term acronym stands for Dedicated - Energetic - Active - Respected - Sorors.
Special designation is provided during National Conventions, Regional Conferences, and local chapter events.
