A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO CONGRATULATE AND HONOR THE COLUMBIA (SC) ALUMNAE CHAPTER OF DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY INC. FOR ITS OUTSTANDING RECORD OF EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE, ADVOCACY, AND CIVIC LEADERSHIP IN THE MIDLANDS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

 

Whereas, since its chartering in 1940, the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. has served more than eight decades as a vital force in advancing the social, civic, and educational development of the citizens of Columbia and the greater Midlands community; and

 

Whereas, the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter has long exemplified the sorority's commitment to political awareness and involvement, one of its five-point programmatic thrusts, by creating platforms for education, engagement, and action on issues impacting residents and families; and

 

Whereas, through annual events such as Delta Day at the Capitol, members of the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter and fellow Deltas from across the State of South Carolina come together to meet with legislators, share community concerns, and participate in meaningful dialogue that strengthens the bridge between citizens and their elected representatives; and

 

Whereas, the chapter's consistent engagement with the legislative process reflects its belief that democracy works best when the voices of all citizens are heard. That consistent engagement also reflects the chapter's belief that civic participation is both a right and a responsibility; and

 

Whereas, the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter is to be commended for its leadership in educating citizens about public policy, encouraging voter participation, and helping residents understand how government decisions affect their daily lives; and

 

Whereas, ultimately, organizations like the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. play an indispensable role in connecting people to government, empowering voices that have historically gone unheard, and reminding us all that progress depends on partnership, compassion, and action. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate and honor the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. for its outstanding record of eighty-five years of service, advocacy, and civic leadership in the Midlands of South Carolina.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Columbia (SC) alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
