. 6 rganization Gives 9 0 To Community 7591? Founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C. on January 18, 1913, Delta Sigma Theta is a service sorority. The sorority was colonized on SEMO's campus on April 9, 1983 and is the Omicron Pi chapter. The group strives to maintain the tradition began by their twenty-two foun- ders 73 years ago. Delta Sigma Theta, a predominately black sorority, welcomes women of any race, creed or color to learn more about their organization. The group is a public service sorority which focuses on the com- munity and its needs. A major activity sponsored annually by the chapter is the Jabberwock. This is a pageant where the group presents a scholarship to a local black high school female with the highest grade point. The award is entitled the LaDonna White Scholarship in honor of the sister who was responsible for bringing Delta Sigma Theta onto SEMO's campus three years ago. At the end of the fall semester, the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta held their annual canned food drive for the needy. Throughout the year the group sponsored various parties to raise funds to donate to charitable institutions such as the National Council of Negro Women CNCNWD and the National Assocation For The Advancement of Colored People CNAACPD. Delta Sigma Theta members continued to work to increase campus and community awareness of their orgnization, its objec- tives and accomplishments. The Omicron Pi chapter is small, but the group feels that this fact simply makes them work harder together to make community life better. During the fall, the group sponsored a table at the Organization Fair and Parents' Day in an attempt to inform propsective members of the group's objectives. Jackie Gregware, president said, We continue to work to increase our sisterhood and to better the sorority as a whole. Having made great strides since the chapter's beginning on SEMO's campus three short years ago, Delta Sigma Theta can be proud of their accomplishments. Chaplain Pat Smith said, We must continue to improve our sorority and use our potential with young women on SEMO's campus. Officers included Jacquelyn Gregware, president, Dedra Cunningham, first vice- president, Janetta Rodgers, second vice- president, Patricia Smith, chaplain, Cheryl Jackson, recording secretary, Denise New- bern, treasurer, and Violettice Cobb, advi- sor. by Phyllis Thompson DELTA SIGMA THETA: Jacquelyn Greg- Mn.. ware, president, Dedra Cunningham, first Rodgers, second Smith, chaplain, vice-president, Janetta vice-president, Patricia Cheryl Jackson, recording secretary, Denise Newbern, treasurer, and Violettice Cobb, advisor.

Spirit Lend To Group' Success As always, the Greek women began the fall semester with rush. For the women of Delta Delta Delta it turned out to be a very successful one since they filled their quota with a promising group of girls. According to Laura Moinord, pledge trainer, the group was enthusiastic and dedicated throughout their pledgeship. She said, I was impressed with the girls' willingness to help out as well as with their respect for their sisters. We have o tremendous amount of leadership potential in the new girls. President Karen Fallert wos also im- pressed with the actives' ottitude upon returning to school in the fall. After being drawn together the past spring by the death of a sorority sister, Karen found that the chapter members had a renewed spirit for the sorority and respect for each other. I was really glad to see how well we worked together. I can tell that last spring really strengthened our sisterhood, sold Follert. In the fall the chopter finished third overall in Sigma Chi Derby Days, second in the Delta Chi Spirit Competition, and received an Honorable Mention for their Homecom- ing floor, which they built with the men of Sigmo Phi Epsilon. The girls were also proud to have Cheryl Crisp crowned as the fourth consecutive Tri Delto Homecoming Queen. Tri Deltas were also honored during Greek Week as the sorority with the highest overall GPA, and the initiated members with the highest GPA. Scholarship Chairman Debbie Schnickter said, Our chopter is very proud of this accomplishment since main- taining a high academic standard is ex- tremely important to our chapter. In fact, scholarship is one of our philonthropies - that shows how significant we feel grodes are to college life. The chapter also received the onnuol Community Service Aword during the Greek Week competition. Since all of the proceeds from the chopter's projects go to other organizations, the award is a very speciol one to the group, Fallert said, 91 64, zz so Nationwide, Tri Delto is o non-profit organi- zation dedicated to the principle of helping others through our efforts. Our chapter is very hoppy, therefore, to be the recipient of the oword. In the spring the chapter also held its annual Vegas Nite, but the highlight of the semester was their Spring Formal in Carbon- dale. This was the second year that Tri Deltos held a dance out-of-town, and it was o great ending to a successful yeor for the women of Tri Delta.
