"Sisterhood FOCUSed on You"

~Candace D. Tate, President

Thank you for visiting the digital home of the Memphis Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated!

I am Candace D. Tate, President of the dynamic and dedicated Memphis Alumnae Chapter! The chapter has been a fixture in the Dynamic Southern Region since our historic chartering in 1935, led by five courageous women.

Our history includes almost nine decades of upholding the torch for Delta! Through our programming, activities, and community partnerships, we continually embrace the sorority's focus on scholarship, sisterhood, service, and social action in our Five-Point Programmatic Thrust. Our legacy includes being the home chapter to the 3 past Regional Directors, an honorary member, a regional representative, and many regionally and nationally appointed committee members, chairpersons, and co-chairpersons. The Memphis Alumnae Chapter is excited and focused on building on our dynamic foundation throughout the 2024-2026 biennium, elevating the corporate vision of our National President, Elsie Cook-Holmes, we are "committed to advancing social change, amplifying our global impact, and strengthening our sisterhood."

If you are a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. looking for a chapter to call home, consider the Memphis Alumnae Chapter, there is a place for every soror here! We are a diverse chapter with over 700 members of all generations, leaders in the community, leaders in their fields, and overall genuine and committed women who are dedicated to using their skills, experience, influence, and passion to leave a lasting imprint in our community and would be honored to have you join us.

We invite you to browse our website frequently, as a resource for our community members, chapter members, and public service entities to engage, empower, and elevate with the Memphis Alumnae Chapter.
