Summary

Senate Resolution 88 celebrates the 91st anniversary of the Dallas Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. The resolution recognizes the chapter's longstanding commitment to community service and highlights its historical significance, tracing its roots back to its chartering in 1924 under the leadership of Frederica Chase Dodd, one of the sorority's national founders. Scheduled for a Founders Day Luncheon on February 7, 2015, this event also serves as a platform to acknowledge the contributions of long-standing members to the sorority and the Dallas community.

Contention

While the resolution is primarily celebratory in nature and does not introduce changes to existing laws or policies, it highlights the role and impact of the Dallas Alumnae Chapter in the broader context of community service. There may not be significant points of contention surrounding this bill as it focuses on honoring individuals rather than proposing legislative changes or addressing contentious policy issues.
