FIVE CELEBRITIES YOU MAY NOT KNOW ARE WOMEN OF DELTA SIGMA THETA .

January 13, 2015

Some may know and some may not know but today marks the 102nd anniversary of Delta Sigma Theta.  Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was founded on January 13, 1913 by twenty-two collegiate women at Howard University and was incorporated in 1930.  The young ladies wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to provide assistance to persons in need. One of the the first public acts performed by the Delta founders was their involvement in the Women’s Suffrage march in Washington D.C., March 1913. However,  since that time women of Delta Sigma Theta have been major contributor to society.  Delta has amassed a membership of over hundred thousands of  esteemed and accomplished women. Many of these women are trailblazers in their industry and well-known famous faces in television, film and politics.

Before any of you ask or assume, no I am not a Delta. However,  I have many family members and friends who are Deltas but most of all, I am a supporter of any positive sisterhood. I know that recently there has been a lot of talk and a bit of negativty surrounding sorority sisters. This is due to VH1 show Sorority Sisters and the actions and attitudes of cast members.   However, Delta Sigma Theta has a strong foundation built on sisterhood, scholarship and service.

In celebration of these amazing women, I decided to share with you five celebrity members of Delta Sigma Theta.

Life requires style! ✨ This is not a post abou Life requires style!

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex. 
🗣POP STYLE SIS!!

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
