Greetings,

Welcome to the website of the Oakland East Bay Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., chartered on June 30, 1979. We are proud to represent a sisterhood deeply committed to sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action.

Founded on January 13, 1913, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is an organization of college-
educated women committed to the constructive development of its members and to public
service with a primary focus on the Black community. As an alumnae chapter, we uphold this
mission by making a meaningful impact in the Oakland East Bay and surrounding communities.

This biennium, we are Built for the Moment: Catalysts for Change who break down barriers,
and Champions for Community who show up in service every day. We uplift and empower one another first, then extend that strength outward by advancing social justice and opportunity for all through our Five-Point Programmatic Thrust of Educational Development, Economic Development, Physical and Mental Health, and Political and International Awareness and Involvement, all guided by our national priorities of Organizational Health, Social Action, Community Impact, Empowerment of Women and Girls, and Appreciation of Our Culture.

Our Action Plan brings this to life. Under Organizational Health, we're investing in innovative member development, engagement, and recognition to grow every soror's leadership. Under Empowerment of Women and Girls, we're advancing the physical and mental well-being and economic empowerment of women and girls, and extending that same care to our own members, because we cannot pour into our communities from an empty vessel.

Through this website, we aim to provide valuable insights into our chapter's work, upcoming
events, and opportunities for engagement. Whether you are a member of our sorority, a
community partner, or someone interested in learning more about our organization, we
welcome you to explore the resources available here.

Join us as we answer the call of this moment - to be catalysts for change and champions for
our community. Together, we can effect meaningful change and help everyone we serve reach their full potential.

Thank you for your support and interest in the Oakland East Bay Alumnae Chapter of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

In community,
Takija T. Gardner
