Delta Sigma Theta, along with the other NPHC orgs, pretty much have had chapters outside the United States for some time now. The chapter in Jamaica may be the first in it's general location, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but we have chapters in Asia, Europe, the Bahamas and now Jamaica. I understand your ETA but our local chapters are meant to implement national programs. We focus on the area around the chapter because that's where we (in my opinion) can be the most effective initially. And those local programs often have some component that benefit national philanthropies as well. My chapter has a scholarship banquet that raises money for the UNCF for example. The chapters abroad are keeping with mandated programs in a way that suits their local communities. Hope this made sense.
