A Message from the President

Pearls of Delta Knowledge

Savannah Alumnae Chapter October 2016

I greet each of you in the name of love, and welcome you back from our summer

hiatus with open arms. I trust that you are ready to get back to the work of Delta

Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated Savannah Alumnae Chapter, with vigorous

enthusiasm. We have accomplished much in the past year. Our programs and

projects continue to impact our community, and as a result, you sorors have been

rewarded for your hard work and dedication to causes greater than yourselves.

Savannah Alumnae Chapter was recognized twice on the regional level during the

90th Southern Regional Conference in Kissimmee, Florida. The chapter received

an award for the Uganda Kids Choir Project, spearheaded by the International

Awareness and Involvement committee in collaboration with the Arts and Letter

committee and for the Mental Health Symposium spearheaded by the Program

Planning and Development committee.

May 15, 2016 marked the point of standing on the dreams of the thirteen Charter

members as they chartered our beloved chapter, Beta Delta Sigma now Savannah Alumnae Chapter. As we

continue to celebrate our 75th Chapter Anniversary, I ask that you continue to be committed to our chapter and to

the sisterhood. I ask that you continue to work for and with our programs and projects and I ask that you continue

to uphold our nine cardinal virtues: Compassion, Courtesy, Dedication, Fellowship, Fidelity, Honesty, Justice,

Purity, and Temperance as we continue to move the agenda of our beloved sisterhood forward.

With Love and Devotion to Delta,

Laura N. Wiggins, Chapter President
