The Social Action Committee looks forward to a very productive and exciting Sorority year. Per Grand Chapter’s request, Social Action for DST needs to do the following: increase general political awareness (issues, candidates, legislation); get involved in political issues as women of color, including various types of opportunities at various levels of government and community; develop a directory of Delta women in politics; help increase voter participation. To that end, Sacramento Alumnae’s Social Action Committee has begun to move toward fulfilling the requested tasks.
Some of the projected tasks for the Sorority year are as follows:
- (PRODUCT) RED Campaign to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa and other developing countries
- March 2, 2007 - Delta Days at the United Nations
- March 30th - April 3, 2007 - Delta Days at the Nation's Capitol
- April 22nd - April 24, 2007 - Delta Days at the State Capitol
