Dear Sorors,

 

There is just one day left until we officially recognize 112 years of sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action through our beloved Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated! As we celebrate the bold vision and impactful work of our 22 Founders, let us do so by actualizing this year's theme, Forward With Fortitude: Together, We R.I.S.E. (Resilient, Impactful, Steadfast, and Empowered). Please see the following message for a few sisterly reminders to help you engage, empower, and elevate all things #DST112!

FOUNDERS DAY CELEBRATION REMINDERS

​

Everything we do in celebration of Founders Day should bring honor to our sisterhood. Please be mindful of the events and activities you attend. Over the years we have seen an increase in third-party events that do not accurately reflect the brand of Delta. It is the responsibility of all members to ensure that we protect the representation of our sisterhood.

 

Please see the quick reference list of Do’s and Don’ts below to help ensure that we continue to bring honor and respect to our 22 Founders!

We want to take over timelines across social media in honor of our 112th Founders Day! To help us in this endeavor please review the attached FOUNDERS DAY SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLKIT to ensure that any promotional content, including social media flyers, adheres to our established brand standards. While using sayings such as “Redz” and “J13” may seem harmless, these are examples of misrepresenting the Delta brand.

Yours in Sisterhood and Service,

Elsie Cooke-Holmes
