Welcome to the Harford County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated!

We are thankful for the dedication and impact our members make as they execute numerous public service programs in the names of our Founders.

In 1913, 22 Dynamic, Determined and Dedicated black women, then just young students at Howard University, began a legacy of vigor, social action and ability to bring about change through Christian principles, scholarship, sisterhood and public service. Since then, our sisterhood has grown to be comprised of more than 200,000 predominately Black college educated women who serve in 900 chapters spanning the United States, England, Japan, Germany, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Republic of Korea.

Our chapter has been committed for more than 30 years to continuing the legacy of public service through working diligently in the Harford and Cecil County communities. The Deltas of Harford County consistently work to support initiatives aligned with our Sorority’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust:

Economic Development

Educational Development

International Awareness

Political Awareness and Involvement

Physical and Mental Health

Chartered with just 15 inspired and dedicated women, our chapter’s small numbers at its inception were no match for the devotion, work ethic and fortitude required by women to transform lives and impact communities. Committed to implementing the principles and ideas of the Sorority, our chapter has grown into a sisterhood of more than 100 members who are called to serve throughout Harford and Cecil Counties.

We invite you to learn more about the Harford Alumnae Chapter, our Sorority and the programs we support through public service.

With Sisterly Love& Service,

Carla Walton
Chapter President 2011-2013

History

June 10, 1979, fifteen spirited members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. chartered the Harford County Alumnae Chapter. Chapelle Armstead, Past Eastern Regional Director, conducted the installation ceremony at Magnolia Middle School in Joppa, Maryland. Our charter members rededicated themselves, developed the Harford County Alumnae Chapter, and began implementing in Harford county the principles and ideas that were formulated by the Founders of this great Sisterhood.
