Welcome to the official page of the Glen Ellyn Area Alumnae Chapter (GEAAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Our primary service area extends from Oak Park and west to DeKalb and includes Aurora, Bellwood, Bolingbrook, Broadview, Glen Ellyn, Hillside, Maywood, Naperville, Westchester and many other suburban communities in between. Since our chartering on January 23, 1977, Glen Ellyn Area Alumnae Chapter (GEAAC) has been firmly grounded in providing programs and services that fall within our sorority’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust. Some of the programs supported by GEAAC:

•Economic Development : Financial Fortitude, Money Smart and Habitat for Humanity
•Educational Development : Just Us Girls annual Conference, Delta Academy, Delta G.E.M.S. and E.M.B.O.D.I.
•International Awareness & Involvement : Water Wells Project, Haitian Relief Project and Sponsoring a Child in a Third World Country and Advocacy on the Congo Crisis
•Physical and Mental Health : Healthy Lifestyles, Diabetes Awareness, The Power to End Stroke Program, Go Red For Women and Breast Cancer Awareness
•Political Awareness & Involvement: Voter Registration, Public Policy Legislation & Awareness, Anti-Bullying Campaign and Adopt A School
“A Sisterhood Called to Serve: Transforming Lives, Impacting Communities.” With our National theme at the forefront of our efforts, our goals are to expand our program offerings to our communities; enhance our partnerships and grow our sponsorship with local businesses; collaborate with local community groups and service-oriented organizations and; expand our media relationship to raise awareness and increase participation in our public service events. Currently, GEAAC has a membership of nearly 300 college educated women dedicated to public service. The hardworking Sisters of GEAAC work diligently to Move Delta Ahead and we remain steadfast in our commitment to provide IMPACTFUL and INSPIRING programs and events to uplift our communities. In 1996, the Minerva Educational Foundation (MEF) was established as the nonprofit entity for GEAAC. The purpose of the foundation was to organize and administer educational programs for young people; to conduct seminars and programs that provide cultural, social and educational enrichment for youth, especially in the African American Community. Since its inception, MEF has awarded more than a quarter of a million dollars in scholarships and book awards.

Tomorrow is Election Day.

We know. The frustration is real. The disappointment is real. And for some, the hope that things can be different feels harder to hold on to.

But even in moments of uncertainty, your voice still matters.

You don't have to feel inspired by everything on the ballot to recognize the importance of having a say in the decisions that shape our communities, our families, and our future.

Tomorrow, November 3, make your voice heard. Your vote is yours. Your voice is yours. Don't surrender either.

❤️ Strong. Accomplished. Resilient. But at what cost?

For so many women, especially high-achieving Black women, being everything to everyone has become second nature. But even the strongest among us need space to breathe, rest, and simply be.

Join the Glen Ellyn Area Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for an empowering conversation, “Superwoman Syndrome: When Strength Becomes Survival Mode.”

Together, we’ll explore the often-unspoken pressures of carrying it all, the impact on our mental and emotional well-being, and what it means to redefine strength through rest, boundaries, and self-care.

✨ Because being strong shouldn’t mean sacrificing yourself in the process!

📅 Wednesday, November 11, 2026
⏰ 7:00–8:30 PM
💻 FREE Virtual Event via Zoom

❤️ You don’t have to do it all, and you certainly don’t have to do it alone.
