Greetings Sorors and Guests!
Hello My Beautiful Sorors and Visitors,
Here we are at the beginning of another wonderful year in Delta. We are living in a time that we would have never imagined, faced with a pandemic that has caused all of us to change the way we do things, the way we communicate, the way we interact. Even with this being the case, I am excited about all that we are still yet able to do. Utilizing the world of technology, we are still able to fellowship. We are still able to love. We are still able to serve. We are able to “Get Back to Sisterhood”.
Kingstree-Lake City Alumnae Chapter has been serving Williamsburg and Lower Florence counties since its inception on November 28, 1975 when 12 ambitious, dedicated Delta women united to answer a need in the communities in which they lived. In conjunction with our Sorority’s National theme: “Joy in our Sisterhood, Power in our Voice and Service in our Heart; we are committed to public service through our Five Point Programmatic Thrust :
In addition to viewing our website, we encourage you to visit Delta’s National website, www.deltasigmtheta.org to learn more about our sorority. We look forward to a wonderful year as we Make a Difference and Impact Lives One Day at a Time on a local, regional and national level!
Wishing you blessings today and always,
Beverly Campbell, President
Kingstree-Lake City Alumnae Chapter
The Kingstree-Lake City Alumnae Chapter was born out of a need for the support of the sorority and a desire of the members of the sorority to continue the programs and commitments made in college. Soror Vela McClam and Soror Cynthia Gamble began to canvas the community for others who felt so inclined. Using their resources, they found others and thus, the chapter was organized.
On November 28, 1975, the Regional Director, Soror Louise Reddick, performed the necessary rituals and thus gave birth to the chapter. There were twelve charter members. They are/were:
Shirley M. Brown
Vela M. McClam
Genevieve F. Burgess
