Hey Everyone! I just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing. Spring Rush season is here, and typically, this blog gets REALLY busy this time of year. Speaking of which...... You can't believe it's finally here, RUSH! Your adrenaline is running high; you have been waiting for this moment forever and can't believe it's finally happening. I always tell people to STAY ready, so you don't have to GET ready. Rush is such a wonderful yet stressful time for all prospective members. You wonder if you did enough to get noticed, you're hopeful that your college transcript will arrive in time, a ..read more

 Happy New Year, Sorors, Sistergreeks, Friends, and Aspiring members! I pray you all had a wonderful holiday season. I know I did! I went home for the holidays to Chi-Town and spend time with my family. I can't believe it's Rush season again. I wanted to wish you all the best during this stressful time. Don't stress or fret (like that's gonna happen, duh)...But in all seriousness, if you have read my previous posts, you already have the tools to guide you for Rush. Come dressed to impress, do your research, and hopefully, by now, you have made a personal connection with a few chapter memb ..read more

 ? I'm going back to Indiana......Indiana, here I come!? Call all SORORS to the floor: As I am gearing up to attend the 56th National Convention, I am thrilled to amid 20k sorors. I am ready to connect with sorors from my undergrad chapter, kick it with my current chapter sorors, and meet and connect with Sorors from around the globe. If this is your FIRST national convention, take it ALL IN! I remember my 1st National Convention. I was blessed that it was in my hometown, so I didn't have to travel (Chicago). Although I was fresh off the sands, I was elected president of my undergrad ..read more

It's been a while since I have last blogged, please forgive me. With life, school, concerts, recitals, photography, it's been a crazy, bumpy, yet lovable ride.  I will blog some more but in the meantime, I have a favor to ask. My chapter is doing a fundraiser from double good popcorn. (I am sure you have heard of it). It would be so kind to purchase a couple of bags, I would be EVER so grateful. We are currently in a contest, and the chapter that raises the most money, will receive $1500 to use for scholarship for local students. You will have until January 13th (which is our Founders Day ..read more

Twenty years ago, in the wee hours in the morning, I, along with eight other women, pledged our desires and became proud members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. What started as a cold and raining night, ended up being a GLORIOUS day for all of us. During our 10th year Delta-Versary we all went to Vegas. We had a BALL! We made plans to go to Turk's and Caicos this year to celebrate our 20th. Unfortunately, COVID19 had other plans for us. We were all devastated! I had my gifts ready for them, was looking forward to getting my hair braided. I purchased several swimsuits and was prepared to ..read more

Hello out there! Now that the Sorority/Fraternity Year is over, I just wanted to touch base with all of you. For those of you that just crossed, how has it been thus far? I hope you are still enjoying the life of being a proud member of the Devine 9! When I run across neophytes, I get a warm feeling because it always takes me back to when I first crossed almost 20 years ago. I still can't believe I will be 20 years old next year. Where has the time gone? Speaking of DeltaVersaries, I had the luxury of doing a photoshoot for a group of sorors who just celebrated 25 years of Sisterhood. They al ..read more

Have I ever told you guys, how much  I LOVE this time of year??? My timeline has been filling up with bright new faces of Sorors, Sistergreeks, and Fraternity Members. Congratulations to all of you who have crossed the sands into -----Land. *Fill in the blank with your prospective organization* As for me, today is my DeltaVersary! I can't believe that my ships and I are celebrating 19 years together. Where has the time gone?  Every time I witness a crossing, it reminds me of my very own crossing and my coming- out show! (That's what we use to call it back in the day). Seeing s ..read more

Happy Monday Everyone! This past weekend was a busy weekend for my chapter. One Chapter from each Region (there are seven) was chosen to host a "Delta Authors On Tour" event. My chapter was selected to represent the Farwest Region. The Farwest Region of Delta Sigma Theta Inc. includes states such as Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Japan, Korea, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. We invited a Delta Author from each Region (Central, Midwest, Farwest, South Atlantic, Southern, Southwest, and Eastern) to represent their region at our event. It was a HUGE success. The event hosted ..read more

Chicago Alumnae - Photo Credit Each year, the Arizona Alumnae Chapters rotate to host our annual Statewide Founders Day weekend celebration. This year my chapter was the featured host. We invited National President and CEO Beverly E. Smith to be our speaker at the sisterhood luncheon. We also asked all Sorors from the Farwest Region to attend as well. To celebrate the election of our Chapter member Tracy A. and the Regional Rep. Christine E., we decided that this weekend event would be perfect for also hosting a "Congratulatory" Celebration to celebrate them both being elected in ..read more
