President: Bernita A. Williams

Greetings!

Thank you for visiting the official website of the Richmond Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. With a proud legacy of over 80 years of service in the Richmond Metropolitan area, we are a chapter of approximately 600 members dedicated to making a positive impact in our community. We owe our existence to the bold and courageous vision of our 22 Founders in 1913 and the twenty-two trailblazing women who chartered the Richmond Alumnae Chapter in 1942.

Our chapter continues to uphold a tradition of impactful service through our Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement. This biennium, we are inspired by our theme, “Dig in For Delta—Develop, Inspire, and Grow,” as we focus on national and regional initiatives and build strong corporate and community partnerships to deliver the best programs and services to the Richmond metro communities. We are also guided by our South Atlantic Regional theme—WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER! Together in Sisterhood – Together in Leadership – Together in Service.

It is my hope that you will join us in supporting a variety of empowering community service activities, scholarship fundraisers for local high school scholars, and other advocacy, educational, and social action programs as we continue to DIG IN!

Thank you once again for visiting our website; we hope you’ll return soon and often. For more information about our programs, be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

Yours in Service,
Bernita A. Williams, President
