As Election Day slowly comes to a close and votes continue to be counted, we reflect on the legacy of our 22 visionary Founders, whose participation in the Woman Suffrage Procession on March 3, 1913, affirmed their commitment to civic engagement and equal rights. They understood that the right to vote was essential to ensuring that Black women and our communities had a voice in shaping the decisions affecting our lives.
More than a century later, Deltas across the nation continue to carry that legacy forward.
Through Delta Decides, our collegiate and alumnae chapters brought voter education, registration, mobilization, and election protection to college campuses, churches, community centers, and neighborhoods. They registered voters, hosted nonpartisan forums, shared trusted information, supported access to the polls, and partnered with organizations to expand our collective reach.
Sorors, your commitment has not gone unnoticed. Despite the fatigue, challenges, and uncertainty of this election season, you gave your time, knowledge, and voices to help our communities exercise their right to vote. We thank every soror, chapter, and partner whose dedication helped make this work possible.
Our responsibility does not end when the polls close. Social action is a 365-day commitment. We must remain informed, engage our elected officials, hold them accountable, and advocate for policies that reflect our communities’ needs and priorities.
As we move beyond Election Day, let us carry forward the same spirit of fortitude that has guided Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, for 113 years. Thank you, sorors, for honoring our Founders’ legacy through action and for remaining steadfast in service to our communities.
