PRESIDENT’S CORNER

VICE PRESIDENT’S mESSAGE

My Dearest Sorors,
February begins with Black History Month; March ends with Sisterhood Month. Let us spend the next
two months remembering and honoring those sisters who blazed the trail before us. We are today be-
cause of our mothers, grandmothers, aunts....the Founders of our illustrious sorority who sacrificed to
ensure that we relish in prosperity and peace. The struggle continues!

It is our duty to honor their memory by passing their inspiration, power and prosperity to our next
generation. In the words of Soror Mary McLeod Bethune, "Next to God we are indebted to women: first
for life itself, and then for making it worth living".
Sisterly,
Soror Cynthia Daniel-Williams

DELTA ACADEMY

The participants met at Ihop for breakfast. They were able to order
the items of their choice at the committee’s expense. They also par-
ticipated in an activity called A New Year, A New You. Each partici-
pant was given a small notebook and pen and was asked to write
down something they felt they needed to work on. They were also
asked to list three ways they planned to better that area. They will
complete a weekly journal and bring the notebook to each monthly
session to show their progress.



International Awareness and Involvement

Ethiopian cuisine

Typical Ethiopian cuisine: Injera (pancake-like bread) and several kinds of wat (stew).

The best-known Ethiopian cuisine consists of various thick meat stews, known as wat in Ethiopian cul-
ture, and vegetable side dishes served atop injera, a large sourdough flatbread made of teff flour. This is
not eaten with utensils, but instead one uses the injera to scoop up the entrées and side dishes. Almost
universally in Ethiopia, it is common to eat from the same dish in the center of the table with a group of
people. It is also a common custom to feed others in your group with your own hands – a tradition re-
ferred to as "gursha."[198] Traditional Ethiopian cuisine employs no pork or shellfish of any kind, as
they are forbidden in the Islamic, Jewish, and Ethiopian Orthodox Christian faiths.

Chechebsa (ጨጨብሣ), marqa, chukko, michirra and dhanga are the most popular dishes from the Oromo.
Kitfo (ክትፎ), which originated from the Gurage is one of the widely accepted and favorite foods in Ethio-
pia. In addition Doro wot was another widely accepted food originated from north western Ethiopia Am-
hara people. Tihlo (ጥሕሎ)—which is a type of dumpling— is prepared from roasted barley flour. It origi-
nated in Tigray Region and is now very popular in Amhara and spreading further south.

Doro Wot (Red Chicken Stew): One of the most popular dish of Ethiopia.
