Message from the President

Greetings Sorors and Friends of Delta,

On behalf of the members of the North Dallas Suburban Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., I am pleased to welcome you to our internet home.  I extend greetings to both Delta and non-Delta visitors of this site and hope that you find it to be informative, interesting and intriguing.

Our site is designed to introduce you to our beloved chapter and to provide you with a glimpse of the many programs and projects through which we serve our community, and inform you of upcoming events of the chapter.  NDSA is an award winning chapter which has gained local, state, regional, and national acclaim due to its outstanding public service initiatives, a legacy of which we are proud.

 We are a working chapter with the goals of benefiting and serving others encompassed in fulfilling the thrust of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Many of our programs touch a variety of areas, some of which benefit children of all ages through high school students; involve education, health, economic, or political awareness in the community; as well as those with an international impact.

Our home on the web is constantly being updated!  We invite you to email us with your comments, questions and to visit our website often for upcoming events and activities that will benefit you, a family member, co-worker, or a friend.  Most of all, our hope is that you will visit us in person at our meetings (membership required) or one of our public programs.  Service is indeed a part of this sisterhood, so on behalf of the members of the chapter, WELCOME.

 Sisterly Love and Blessings,

Carolyn Y. Matthews

Chapter History


The North Dallas Suburban Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was chartered in March 24, 1996 when 43 women unified to promote and enrich the African American community. The goals of this union were to provide empowerment, economic development, and educational attainment. 

Inspiration began humbly in the halls of the Hamilton Park United Methodist Church, Dallas, Texas where active and in-active members of Delta Sigma Theta witnessed the men of Alpha Phi Alpha mentor the male youth of their church.  It was through that inspiration Soror Tawanda "T.J." Jackson developed the concept of the "Five Point Delta," an annual retreat for the female youth of the church.  Their mission was to teach young women the virtues of a Christian life. Inspirational speakers facilitated dialogue with the young women providing instructions on Christian morals, proper speech and table etiquette.

"We talked to them about such things as teen pregnancy, economics, government, politics, and family life", said Soror Robbie Odame-Lartey, a "Five Point Delta" member.

After several years of providing these services to the female youth of their church, the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta decided to establish a local chapter offering community programs to the North Dallas suburbs, based on the ideals and programs of their national organization.  Sorors (charter members) decided to expand their efforts by providing opportunities which allowed youth to grow and develop under the leadership of positive role models.

Today, North Dallas Suburban Alumnae is still dedicated to the vision of our glorious Sorority and committed to our chapter's mission.
