Greetings to All! 

 

I'm Patricia Durrell Hunt, the 14th President of the Vicksburg Alumnae Chapter of the Illustrious Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.​

​

Since our chapter's chartering in 1976, we have remained in the forefront of service in our beloved community.

 

For those of you who may not be aware, our Grand Chapter was founded in 1913 on the grounds of Howard University by 22 young and gifted college women who had a vision to make a difference in the world through service and social change.  Vicksburg Alumnae Chapter proudly continues this vision through our many projects and events aligned with our five-point programmatic thrust: Economic Development, Educational Development, Physical and Mental Health, International Awareness and Involvement and Social Action.  From our annual sponsorship and participation in community political forums, to our collaborative efforts with Mississippi Blood Services to collect much needed blood, to our support of the local women's shelter with supplies and upkeep of a whole bedroom to our annual scholarships awarded to deserving high school seniors, we are about the business of Delta which is scholarship, service and social action in the community where we live and work.   These projects I named are but a few of our many endeavors.

​

If you want to learn more about us and our continuing commitment to community service, please feel free to visit our Facebook page.

​

Our esteemed Soror, the late and great Shirley Chisholm, (the first black women elected to the United States Congress and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination) once said, "Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth."

​

So, in Delta today, our chapter proudly and enthusiastically continues the glorious legacy of our 22 esteemed founders and Soror Chisholm as we move forward with fortitude to assist our community through scholarship, service and social action,
