The first is an AKA--kudos.

Actually there are so many Black women and women firsts that have been accomplished by Deltas and our sistergreeks that this thread could easily reach 100 pages in no time if we started posting them. Our respective websites can give you a peek.

The greatness of the NPHC sororities (and fraternities) is what our foremothers and forefathers accomplished in the times in which they lived. When you start naming those Blacks that were major, nationally known leaders chances are you can attach a membership to an NPHC org. to them.
