Presidents Message
Greetings Sorors and Friends,
I am Darlene Petit, the 11th President of the Denton County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I am excited about my renewed opportunity to serve the county of Denton once again.
My commitment is One Chapter: Connecting Sisterhood-Service-Community. This aligns with the mission of our insightful charter members back in 1995 to service the community in which we live, work and play. Twenty-eight years later the mission remains strong and more relevant than ever.
I am proud to lead a dynamic, motivated, and engaged membership of women who have a heart and passion for service and are committed to our National Initiatives of Service, Scholarship, Sisterhood, and Social Action.
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc is a private, not-for-profit organization founded 110 years ago on January 13, 1913, on the campus of Howard University by 22 young women of vision. We strive to build on our National 5-Point Programmatic Thrust of:
- Economic Development,
- Educational Development,
- International Awareness and Involvement,
- Physical and Mental Health, and
- Political Awareness and Involvement.
These important initiatives come alive for us and are the focal point at the local level to service our community and build lasting relationships.
I invite you to share our enthusiasm for service and watch our website for public program engagement opportunities. Please stay tuned for our Signature Event, the 25th Women’s Symposium to be held in the Spring of 2024. Details will be made available in the Fall of this year. You won’t want to miss this epic event!!
If you are already a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and you are looking for a chapter to visit or join, I would like to personally invite you to connect with us via the Visiting Sorors section of our website for more information.
We are looking forward to an amazing year and we would love for you to be a part of it.
Postured to Serve,
Darlene Petit, President
Denton County Alumnae Chapter
