Welcome to the website of the Denver Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a public service organization serving the African- American community. Our organization was founded on Christian principles in 1913 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. The Denver Alumnae Chapter, originally chartered as Beta Phi Chapter in 1939, was the first chapter of our sorority in the state of Colorado.
Having served the Denver Metropolitan area for over 80 years and despite various challenges including the current COVID-19 pandemic, our mission remains the same. We are continuing to serve the community through our Five-Point Programmatic Thrust in the areas of:
- Economic Development
- Educational Development
- International Awareness and Involvement
- Physical and Mental Health
- Political Awareness and Involvement
We are happy to have the support of our community as well. Perhaps you may have purchased a football sweepstakes ticket, or made a donation to support our scholarship fund. We currently award over $10,000 in scholarships on an annual basis to deserving African-American high school female seniors. Awarding scholarships for academic excellence is something that we have been proudly doing since 1939. You may have attended one or more sessions of The Power of Black Women Summits, or participated in other Social Action outreach efforts. For that and more, we are very grateful to you.
If you look at the historical legacy of individual members of our chapter, you will find women who have blazed trails and served as role models for our youth. If you study the names of some public buildings in our community, you will find that several of them are named for distinguished members of our chapter. If you look around our community to seek women who are in the forefront of efforts to improve community conditions and success rates in all walks of life, you will find members of our organization. As Delta women, we continue to strive to reach even higher goals as we represent the ideals of sisterhood, scholarship, and service.
Thank you for exploring our website. We hope that you will enjoy the journey as you learn more about our sorority, our chapter, our members, and our history. Please feel free to contact us for additional information.
Yours in Service,
Janice Satchell, President
