 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO COMMEND DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY'S SOUTH ATLANTIC
 REGION SOUTH CAROLINA LEADERSHIP FELLOWS, CLASS OF 2012-2014, ON ITS PROJECT
 DELTA VOICES, A PROGRAM TO HELP COMBAT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

   03/27/14  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 4)

TO COMMEND DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY'S SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION SOUTH CAROLINA LEADERSHIP FELLOWS, CLASS OF 2012-2014, ON ITS PROJECT DELTA VOICES, A PROGRAM TO HELP COMBAT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Delta Sigma Theta Sorority's South Atlantic Region South Carolina Leadership Fellows, Class of 2012-2014, has created Delta Voices, a program to help combat domestic violence; and

Whereas, founded in 1913, Delta Sigma Theta is a private nonprofit organization whose purpose is to provide assistance and support through established programs in local communities throughout the world. With its Delta Voices project, the sorority's South Atlantic Region South Carolina Leadership Fellows, Class of 2012-2014, has demonstrated its leadership skills and commitment to public service by collaboratively designing and developing a public-service program for sorority chapters in the South Atlantic Region; and

Whereas, Delta Visions, the core of which is domestic-violence awareness, consists of five thrust areas: economic development, educational development, international awareness and involvement, physical and mental health, and political awareness and involvement; and

Whereas, Delta Visions explores the effects of domestic violence and how they affect all aspects of family life. In addition, the program explains how one can find help and use preventive measures to ensure safety. An examination of bullying is also part of the project; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Delta Fellows began work on Delta Voices in September 2013 and completed it in March 2014. In April 2014, they will present it at the sorority's South Carolina state meeting, with the hope that the project will be selected for the South Atlantic Region and the entire sorority; and

Whereas, grateful for the initiative and diligence of the sorority in creating Delta Voices, the House of Representatives would like to express its gratitude to Delta Sigma Theta's South Atlantic Region South Carolina Leadership Fellows, Class of 2012-2014, for its outstanding work toward combating domestic violence. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend Delta Sigma Theta Sorority's South Atlantic Region South Carolina Leadership Fellows, Class of 2012-2014, on its project Delta Voices, a program to help combat domestic violence.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
