Dear Sorors and Visitors,
Welcome to the website home of The Greater Cleveland Alumnae Chapter
(GCAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.!
I extend to you abundant greetings on behalf of the dedicated
Sorors of GCAC. We are delighted to have you visit our website and
with just a few clicks of the mouse read about the history of our
beloved sorority and also learn about some of the exciting new and
ongoing programs and initiatives underway in our chapter.
Omega Chapter was chartered in 1925, and Greater Cleveland Alumnae
Chapter was chartered in 1971. GCAC services and supports the culturally
rich and diverse community of Cleveland. We are a chapter dedicated
to the vision of our 22 illustrious founders of a sisterhood deeply
committed to excellence, guided by scholarship and public service,
and rooted in Christian principles.
Building upon this tradition and recognizing the needs of the
local and global communities we serve, GCAC is committed to programming
that lifts up and shines a light on the promise and hope that exists
and ultimately leads to meaningful benefits to the community and
the enhancement of the quality of life. We remain recharged, renewed,
and committed to strengthening those bonds.
Our mission, "innovative programming with a far-reaching impact",
is the impetus by which we offer valuable programming in such critical
areas as health, education, financial fortitude, social action,
international awareness, community empowerment, and the arts and
letters. Foremost is a commitment to "Our future-Our youth" through
our annual scholarship program for college bound achieving young
women, promotion of education and arts excellence, and the laying
of a foundation of fundamental leadership and life skills through
our premiere Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy and Delta GEMS, a new
initiative focused on teenage girls.
Finally, our public service cannot thrive without the support
from people like you. Therefore, we invite you to come out and support
us at our local events and programs and in doing so feel a sense
of joy at knowing you contributed to doing "good works" for the
community.
Bookmark our website and visit us often for updates, highlights,
photos, and information about our programs and initiatives. Feel
free to also contact us for more information about the sorority,
our chapter, and the work we do.
Thank you for visiting our website home!
Barbara Walker
President
Greater Cleveland Alumnae Chapter
