MESSAGE FROM OUR NATIONAL PRESIDENT
Greetings Sorors:
On behalf of the leadership and membership of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., congratulations to the National Social Action Commission and all those who worked diligently to put together this 2018 Mid-Term Candidates Directory. This is an awesome display of political engagement at the highest level. Just as Delta’s membership is diverse, these candidates represent a cross section of political ideologies. We salute these sorors for their efforts to impact our communities from the inside out, and we wish them much success on November 6 and beyond. Thank you for representing our Sorority by being the change you want to see.
In Sisterhood,
