May Week 2023: That's So Delta
The Pi Theta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is excited to introduce our 2023 May Week series: “that’s so Delta.” May Week is a national program of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. that was created at Delta’s second National Convention in 1920 at Wilberforce University. May Week is a week in May that is set aside each year for programs, highlighting academic and professional achievements and the events which emphasize the importance of higher education in the community, especially for Black women. Activities are created through the Sorority’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust, which was established in 1955.
