Everyday of the year we celebrate our illustrious Sorority by either donning shirts and hats (or
other clothing) that bear our Greek letters, jewelry like necklaces with beautiful diamond-studded
pyramids, and everyone’s favorite...a DST license plate frame. And while our 22 Founders are
never far from our hearts and thoughts as we conduct the business of Delta during our sorority

year, there is one day that we dedicate our attention and direct our intentions to them...January

FOND MEMORIES OF FOUNDER

JIMMIE BUGG MIDDLETON

shared by Dr. Norma Sermon-Boyd,
Past South Atlantic Regional Director
by June Javier

Soror Sermon-Boyd had the dis nct honor of mee ng Founder
Jimmie Bugg Middleton in 1959 during her membership intake
process into the Alpha Rho Chapter at Shaw University. Soror
Sermon-Boyd’s Secondary Advisor, Soror Thelma Thomas Dailey
(our 16th Na onal President) facilitated the introduc on to the
pledgees. Founder Middleton was a member of the Raleigh Alumnae
Chapter. When recoun ng the interac on, Soror Sermon-Boyd was mesmerized by Founder Middleton’s jovial
spirit and in awe of her historical experiences while a ending Howard University. She was cap vated by her
immense love for Delta Sigma Theta. As me went on, and the Founders aged and passed, it solidified more and
more how precious the mes were she had in her presence. The wisdom and influence of our beloved Founder
shaped Soror Sermon-Boyd’s journey through sisterhood. For this she is forever grateful .

WELCOME HOME


January marks a season of renewal and resolu ons. In Delta, it is also a season of celebra on to honor the
Founders and welcome back into the fold sorors who have been away. Although life happens and circumstances
change, the bond of sisterhood is everlas ng and the love eternal. A few sorors share their reclama on story.

Soror Sandra Barnes: “O en when we see pictures of children we haven’t seen in a while, we remark ‘My, how
me flies’. That’s my view of the me I’ve spent being inac ve in my sorority. There was by no means a plan to
remain inac ve for so many years; me seems to have just flown by! I now find myself with children launched,
career winding down, and life ge ng less demanding. There is breathing room. This is why I’ve decided I now

have the me and energy to become ac ve and make a contribu on to my local, regional, na onal and global
community through my beloved sorority, Delta Sigma Theta.”

Sabrina Golden-Williams: “When I le college many years ago, I wanted to become ac ve with an alumnae
chapter. I just didn't know how. Then life began to happen. In recent years, I connected with other Sorors and
began to long for the sisterhood, public service opportuni es, and networking and decided now is the me.”

BLOOMING WITH

those sorors who are sick and shut
in. This year, each soror was also
given a card with a "li le something" in it.

Before COVID, sorors delivering the flowers were able to sit and
talk a bit. This year, with mask on and of course properly
distanced the sorors were able to have a few moments to catch
up and snap a quick photo.

It’s hard to say who enjoyed the visits more, because each soror
was excited to meet someone new, or connect for a few minutes
with someone she had not seen for awhile.

RELAY FOR LIFE


By: Delcenia Hobson

As we make a empts to navigate our new virtual "space", and determine
what fundraising looks like, and how it will work in this new environment,
we should all embrace a spirit of change, open-mindedness, and pa ence.
Fundraising efforts look very different now, and commi ees are constantly
brainstorming on ways to raise money and promote awareness of their
various causes...and it's not easy. Technology is ever-changing, and we
must change with it. That being said...

THE HAMPTON DELTA DIAMONDS RELAY FOR LIFE TEAM HAS GONE
VIRTUAL! The American Cancer Society/Relay For Life has done a
tremendous job preparing teams for virtual fundraising! They held their
first virtual event of 2021, Relay First Lap, on Saturday, January 9th!
Walkers/Runners were asked to dedicate their first lap (or mile) to loved
ones they’ve lost to cancer or those who have survived. In true HAC
fashion, our walkers showed up and showed out.

This month, the Hampton Delta Diamonds Relay For Life Team will officially
start its virtual fundraising efforts...and we are excited to bring the ease of
dona ng online to you. Your dona ons will go to suppor ng research,
educa on, advocacy, and pa ent and family services. We have all been
affected, one way or another, by cancer, so please donate from your heart.
CLICK HERE TO DONATE
For ques ons, please contact Soror Delcenia Hobson at 757-951-7934 or

PROTOCOL AND TRADITIONS by Marqueta Tyson
DEDICATION……The defini on and examples of Dedica on are:
· A feeling of very strong support for or loyalty to someone or something; the quality of being dedicated to a person, group or cause:
Her dedica on to the cause required hard work and commitment.
· The quality of being commi ed to a task or purpose:
Her dedica on to the details ensured that we had a quality program.

· Devo ng or se ng aside for a par cular purpose:
A er the expenses were paid, we dedicated the profits to the scholarship fund.

· Extreme devo on: We admire her dedica on to our Sorority.
In Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, DEDICATION, is very significant. Each soror must exhibit one or all of the quali es and traits of
DEDICATION listed above in the defini on and examples. Dedica on to a worthy cause for meaningful and worthwhile purposes gives
our lives a sense of purpose and sa sfac on. In 2021, we challenge each soror to find a meaningful and worthwhile chapter program
/commi ee or community program to get involved in and be DEDICATED to it.
Paul Bryant quoted: “If you believe in yourself and have dedica on and pride-and never quit, you will be a winner. The price of victory is
high but so are the rewards.”
Let us follow the examples of our 22 illustrious Founders and be just as DEDICATED as they were to their mission that guides us today.
