Which DST Founder would you like to meet?

I would also want to meet Sorors Zephyr Chisom Carter and Naomi Sewell Richardson because I think they might have made me a member of the Dust Club. FYI the Dust Club was for women who were unable to attract suitable boyfriends.

I would like to jump on this bandwagon, because I know that, if I were a member, I would be hastily inducted into the Dust Club.

I would also like to have met Olive C. Jones, because, as 12 stated, little is known about her- well, at least from the limited history I have read. I have a feeling that there are some great stories in her history.

i agree w/you wholeheartedly. from the history i've learned and from talking w/older sorors, very little is known about her, after graduation, w/the exception that she was a music teacher.

I was blessed to be able to see Founders Osceloa Mc Carthy Adam, Betha Pitts Campbell and Naomi Sewell Richardson, when I was a delagate attenting the 37th National Convention in Detroit. I remember at the closing banquet, the Soror Founders were kidding that they were the only Deltas with two sorority pins, AKA and Delta Sigma Theta. Their comments brought the house down. At one Founders' Day luncheon I was able to get Founder Adam's autograph on the program. And sadly to say, a little while later I attened her Omega Omega cereomony.
One soror I truely would have loved to meet was Barbara Jordan. Soror Jordan had such a presents and a voice that it just sent shivers down my spine to hear her speak.

Have you read "Shaped to it's Purpose" - I've only skimmed it, not for that purpose, but there might be something there or a lack of that reference may answer your question!

I'll check it out.

I have read Shaped to Its Purpose twice; I don't recall any specific mention of Omega in it. This book disappointed me in that while it covered the first 50 years of Delta history, very little time was spent on the early days (ie first 10 years of existence).

Where can you find that book? I would like to read it to use it as a supplement to ISOS.

I believe it is out of print and can only be ordered from National HQ.

So very true, I would love to have Founder Edna Brown Coleman tell us what I suspect is the truth; that Omega did not "help" to found Delta Sigma Theta and we are not their "Sorors"! (...Still looking for this in ISOS!)

As for the other Founders I would have been honored to meet them all, but especially, I would have liked to have met Founder Bertha Pitts Campbell and Founder Naomi Sewell Richardson, since they lived the longest. They could have given us the best perspective of Delta througout the years. And from what I've heard they were pretty feisty too!!

There is a taped and written interview with your last living Founder which details the depth of the relationship between Delta and Omega and it contravenes your "suspicions". Talk to an older member of the Sigma chapter of DST and you may be surprised at what you hear.

The Most Honorable Founder Edgar A. Love had great things to say about Madree Penn White and Sadie Alexander as well as his girlfriend who was a founding member.

So far, I hearing about the personal interrelationships between the Founders of Omega and Delta. I have read ISOS and Shaped to Its Purpose and neither document references Omega "helping" to Found DST, which is what at least 2 people have tried to tell me in the past. That is the issue I have and I don't think my suspicions would be unfounded. (no pun intended) I don't dispute the Founders of the two organizations were close to each other personally.

This thread is about which Founder my sorors/and others would like to meet, so unless you wish to state which of my Founder's you would like to meet, you can PM me with any further comments.

I'd like to meet the ladies who had the favor of my Founders Love and Coleman. Then they could tell me why I am so smitten with Delta women.

Doggy, please define older for me (so I will know what age person I should ask) and tell me why it should be an alumnae of Sigma chapter in Atl. Thanks
