Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. inspires me personally and politically.
Four of the most influential women in my life are members. They are brilliant, dynamic, and community-oriented. These women are daily inspirations for me. I met each at different points in life. They are from different backgrounds. The fact that each woman individually chose Delta (and Delta chose them) was striking. I simply wanted to be like them, you know, the "if I was half the woman you are" adage.
So, I began to research Delta, and participate in activities. When I learned about Delta's political awareness and involvement, I was excited. From Delta Day at the Capitol to Voter Registration Drives to Voter Information Seminars, Delta is doing what I want to do: educating, activating, and making a substantive difference. The American Political environment is what I study, specifically, elections, participation, and policy. I hope that my academic contributions can assist in further awareness and activity among the African-American community.
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has been at the forefront of significant struggles- suffrage for women, civil rights for African-Americans, better health throughout the African Diaspora. I want to be a part of a group that is committed improvement on all levels.
