One hundred and six years ago, this photo of Sadie Tanner Mossell appeared in the July 1918 issue of The Crisis magazine when graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. She was also a charter member of Gamma Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority at the University of Pennsylvania.

The following year, Mossell became the first National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority (1919-1923). She also became the first African-American woman in the United States to receive a Ph.D., the first African-American woman admitted to the University of Pennsylvania Law School and graduate, and the first African-American woman to be admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar.

Please join us in our effort to make a positive impact in the lives of those who are affected by diabetes March 18th - April 3rd!

By participating and raising funds through VCAC Team Diabetes, you'll be helping the @amdiabetesassn train school personnel to keep children with diabetes safe at school, fund critical research to find a cure, provide assistance to individuals who are being discriminated against because of their diabetes, provide support to people who are newly diagnosed with diabetes, and so much more.

Chances are, you also know someone who has been affected by diabetes and you already know how important it is to stop this disease. The power we have together far outweighs what I can do alone.

The link to donate is in our bio! Thank you in advance for your help!

Repost: @dstinc1913

It is with great sorrow that Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. shares the passing of our beloved National President and Chair of the National Board of Directors, Cheryl A. Hickmon. President Hickmon transitioned peacefully on January 20, 2022 after a recent illness.

President Hickmon was a devoted member of Delta Sigma Theta since 1982 and served in various capacities at the chapter, regional, and national levels before being elected National President. She is remembered not only for her role as a leader but for being a colleague, friend, and most of all, sister.

The entire sisterhood of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated mourns the loss of President Hickmon. During this difficult time, we ask that you respect her family’s privacy and keep them in your prayers.

#dst1913

Sending a sisterly shout out to our Soror @kymwhitley who will be performing locally alongside @sherrieshepherd at Oxnard Levity Live, January 30th! Do your thing, Sis!

Reposted from @dstinc1913

Delta Sigma Theta has been committed to service through social action since our founding in 1913. Our 22 Founders participated in the Suffrage March of 1913, just two months after establishing the Sorority, and our members have been at the forefront of social and political struggles ever since.

Under the direction of the National Social Action Commission, Delta Sigma Theta mobilizes our members, chapters, and national leaders to advocate for the Sorority’s predetermined positions and objectives. The National Social Action Commission was officially established in 1963 to provide information and direction to the membership on current civil rights issues. It traces its roots back to the Vigilance Committee, which was created to strengthen and unify the social action efforts of the Sorority. As a result of these efforts, Delta Sigma Theta has become an integral part of the movement to secure equal political, educational, and economic rights for all Black people.
